OPEN HORIZONS II_full v1.9.5
OHII_traffic_speed_Fix_v2
SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.11

All was working fine for a week or so then the game would not load, showing a black screen after the loading bar.

I messed with the mods and found that NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith was causing the issue. I remove this mod and the game loads ok.

I have tried using 6_9_0 but still the same issue. I also used trevally's may loadout exactly (although the above is still based on it) and again the same results. Ive removed some vc++ installations ( i saw this in another thread) to try and see if this made any difference, but no.

i normally run with Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod (normal) V2.1 plus some minor patches, but i just want the above working.

what is the conflict? am i doing something wrong? why would it just suddenly happen?
please help i can run the game and play without newUIs but im so used to playing with this mod now it feels wrong without it

run the Dbgview app found in \data\Applications before running the game. It can give a clue as to what's going on

SHO many hours later....

An update on the post above and a question.

After making sure i do a clean boot of my machine I have had some QUALITY hours at sea - i cant express enough how much these mods have made a difference to such a disappointing vanilla game, so thank you to all the mod creators and for this thread.

I still get the issue from my other post, randomly now it seems (i did assume it was a memory issue as windows was caching huge amounts of ram 8gig + after playing other games). I have waited 15 minutes, when it works it takes 3.

I ran the dbgview app and it says "recmanualcategory not found" in numerous cfg files which exist so not sure what this means or even whether its the cause. As i said i can play the game on reboot.
I also get a ctd when opening the torpedo doors via the deck tdc binoculars.

Trevally your list from may has slightly older versions of some mods, how often do u update? or do you have favoured versions for stability?

Hi Bosnian,

A way to check what the game is doing when these slow downs happen is to run dbgview at the same time.
I use 2 monitors, so when the game pauses to load somthing - the dbgview on my second screen is telling me what it is doing. For me this is very handy for making automation scripts etc.
You could try this with a single monitor by setting the options to window mode and selecting a very small window. Then reload game and run dbgview in a window beside SH5 window.

With this you may see what is causing your 15min pauses

When I am making a new version of OHII - I keep my old trusty mod list. For me changing this whilst making a mod can cause me many a head ache. I need to know that if a ctd happens when I am modding that it was me and not my mod list.

I am now just updating my list with TDWs new vesions of IRAI and UI as well as adding theBeasts new mods.
When I am finished and happy - I will update post one. My list is still very basic compared to some here - but I like it that way - less headaches and I hate headaches

Thanks Trevally, Ill see what i can do, your right i do have single monitor.

Do the missing cfg files mean anything to you or does that happen anyway when applying mods?

Yes - most of it is for icebergs, buoys - stuff like that that doesn't need to be in the recmanual

Thank you very much, Trevally. I was looking for a mod list updated and reasonably short but effective, and this is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks.

Default Do i need this 4gig Switch??

Moin,

it´s the second time i make an observation after use the 4gig switch and installing several mods.

When the switch is used, the game has ctd while loading a campaign. If i use the backuped .exe it is loading fine and running.

My specs: Intel I7, 4GB memory, Windows / 64bit

I´m not a pro who know how to check how much memory the game is using while running.

Anyone out there who ca help or explain how i can check this?


Kalleblom

Edit: No technical chief out there who know about?
Edit2: Apparently not , but for those you wants to know, it seems that the switch is need at more than 4gb ram.
