You know, I was getting seemingly random crashes, and then I figured out the cause. I'm not 100% sure what setting it was anymore though. Basically, the crash was caused by the game running out of memory. 2 Things:
1: Grab the 4GB of Memory patch if you don't have it already. 2: Next time you experience it, try to save in a new save slot, don't risk your last good one. Drop all the graphics settings and see if that fixes it. It may require closing the game and restarting it. If that fixes it, try bumping the settings back up one by one until you find out which setting it is exactly. If I recall, it was one or both of the terrain object settings doing this and dropping it to the half way mark or so fixed it. I know that some of you are saying it wasn't near shore, but that doesn't mean that the game isn't buffering terrain models anyways. I suspect that what happens is that the game keeps textures and models for all objects you have seen on the patrol loaded into memory. Edit: Oh, sorry for the slight necro, but the post was still on the first page so it's not really that bad I guess.

Very good advice. A little curiosity often leads to better gameplay and you gave great advice there.
It brings me great pleasure to award you Necro of the Week though. Congratulations....I think

having this same issue. having a blast these past couple of days. second patrol i found a large convoy on the way home. taken damage and was low on fuel/torpedoes. tried to TC past them. no matter where i was in the game, anything above 128x greatly reduced performance. i tried to make it back to pearl with the low TC only to have my game CTD half way there.
I remember running into this problem before and it being the primary reason i stopped playing. i found the memory fix was already enabled. i heard this could be a problem with 1.5 and uboat DLC. tried to uninstall, but it seems linked to one another through steam. i cant run one without the other. i know its been almost half a decade, but any help would be appreciated. |
