Lurker, could you look into something please? For the first time (yes, I work hard to make my rig VERY stable so the CTD is rare) I have gotten persistent CTDs with RSRD. Its Oct 31st, 1942 at 02:56. As you can see in the screen shot, as soon as my sub passes the second waypoint I get a CTD.



Thoughts? Here is my mod order:

REL_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_152
RSRDC_TMOv15_V371
RSRDC_V371_Patch8
RSRDC_eyecandy_fix
#1 PE3 Install
#2d PE3 Special Effects For TMO
#3b PE3 submarine bubbles and caustics and roll pitch for TM
#4 PE3 Ship_debris_SH4_with bodies
#5 PE3 real reflections for harbour and objects
#6 PE3 patch for TM
PE3 Install less floater


Thanks for the mod and I hope that this will be an easy fix.

Currently unable to recreate your problem. Test was conducted without the PE mods

I'm running RSRD 355 patch 6.

I was sent from Manila to patrol off north of Luzon, near Formosa twice in a row. Manila fell to Japs before I returned so I managed(just barely) to sail all the way to Java, my new Base. (By the Way, I didn't see any message telling me to do so)

I have now been given the Same mission, again....but no way am I going to sail all the way to that same Patrol Area north of the P.I. Is this a glitch? How do I get out of the same repeating mission? I tried just sitting outside the Java port and sending status reports hoping for a new mission, but no luck.

Sorry if this has been asked/explained before...

Ok

Require the standard “trouble shooting” info:

Start date?
Type of sub?
What command?

Sargo Sub

1st patrol Manila Dec 10 Sent to the Luzon Patrol Star. Returned and refitted, then went out again and finished patrol returning to Manila.

2nd Patrol Manila Dec 23 Sent to Luzon Star. Completed Mission (star turned grey)...Manila no longer a port, so i went to new Homebase at Surabaya. Arrived, barely. Mission Completed (Star portion). I might not have completed 'sinking of Merchants' mission....I'm not sure.

3rd Patrol Surabaya Jan 28 Mission again is to go ALL the way back up to the same Luzon Star.....Can't get there and back, I'm sure.

Something is not right.

I remember having that same setup and thinking, can I make it. Using the Porpoise, as I remember, I made it OK at 10 knots. Just had to watch out for any prolonged chases at full or flank speed. I had enough fuel for a safe return to home base, Surabaya.

As for finding targets on patrols, you just have to learn the convoy routes. I've been using RSRD since its beginning and have always been able to find targets.

You won't be assigned a new mission unless you've completed the current one.

Default Wake Island: Alamo of the Pacific

Is the Battle of Wake Island included in RSRDC?

I watched the above program on the History Channel, and thought it would be fun giving the Marines on Wake a little helping hand. I couldn't find a 'Single Patrol' or other shorty-type mission in the menu, so I started a new career with the USS Triton (SS-201) [Tambor Class]. I picked the Tambor Class just 'cause I had never commanded one. Anyway, I departed Pearl on Dec. 8 and arrived in the Wake Island vicinity on the night of Dec 12, when the battle should have been going great guns. Round and round the Island I went for the next 5 days, but never saw a sign of the Japanese Fleet (or any American ships/aircraft either).

I departed Wake on the 18th, refueled at Midway, then headed for Japanese waters. I sank 4 cargo ships within the 96 hour patrol, so there are ships (i.e. targets) available. But nothing at Wake ???

I'm using:
SH4 v1.4
Trigger Maru Overhaul
RSRDC_P3_TMO_V325

Perhaps Wake was added later?

Some of my friends, who I'm pretty sure are running RSRDC also reported not seeing anything around Midway during the battle dates.

Since running RSRD and having virtually completed an entire war career I have never seen more than a single ship and zero convoy sightings. Is RSRD OVER accurate? Also, when I get a message about an IJN impending location and am able to arrive before time, and lurk, - nothing happens.

But, at the same time, I have not had a single game crash this present career.

The Battle of Wake Island is not accurately represented in RSRDC. There are some IJN units that are in the general area of Wake during the “second” attempt to invade Wake in late Dec 1941.

I completed the Luzon Patrol Mission...TWICE. I can't now sail to Luzon from Java and get back to Java.

You could just rearm and 'fill-er-up' at Jave, THEN finish your mission, rather than ending your patrol and getting the same one again.

BTW, I have been able to start in Java, go to the Luzon area, and return in an S-Boat! Remember, I said I did it, I didn't say it was easy (and I didn't say how many times I tried it, either )
