Default CTD in GWX 2

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but twice now when a torp impacts on a target I get a CTD. The last time really frustrated me in that i had a destroyer and TWO cruisers waiting to be sunk and i hit the destroyer and it crashed to desktop. I was in the process of swinging about to let all 4 of my front fish loose on the cruisers at close range..

Any ideas on this?

Are you using any other mods on top of GWX?

Nope, no mods at all. This just started happening..maybe has something to do with the event camera being on?

I was firing at a destroyer and hit it. The cruisers weren't the typical battle cruiser (I forget the name of them), but looked like some sort of retrofitted ones..

Unfortunately to recreate the circumstances and confirm whether or not there is a problem relating to GWX... we have to know the exact vessel and timeframe involved.

2 Auxiliary Cruisers and a destroyer (not sure of the type)
18 Oct. 1939, Approx. 0800 local
Quandrant to the East of AM19 (approx. 80km into it)

Unfortunately i was unable to locate them again after reloading the save. I made the mistake of not saving for an 800km cruise and even though i followed the exact same route, this time they were a no show. Lost out on about 30k tons worth

Hope that helps.

Noted... I may have a save near there at about that time (my favorite hunting ground) will have a look-see

you sure they were auxiliary cruisers?

They were large, 4 stacks, looked like a converted supply ship or something. Here is a screenshot.. kinda distant in the background though..


Maybe that will help..

Guys, I just set up a single mission to test the Aux cruiser. This mission has about ten of them.

Tool, you should try this mission found on the DL link below.

I just sunk three of them with no problems at all.

It wasn't when a torp hit the cruiser, it was when it hit the destroyer at the lead. As soon as it exploded it CTD, and i had event camera on and saw it on there. Maybe that is the issue? This isn't the first time this has happened, as it did the night before with a AWS (?) trawler. Maybe something on my end is corrupt.

I think so, I don't use the event camera and have sunk numerous trawlers and DDs without problems

could you try with the event camera off?

the one in your picture looks like a C&D or A&B class, I just sank one of those no worries.
