Thanks for the input.

Can you post your mod list with the wave mods so the rest of us can learn from your findings

[V13dweller]

I have since then changed my mod soup a bit, and I do not remember the previous order.

I seem to be getting lots of problems and CTD's when traveling through the British isles, I get low FPS even on my Rig when using a measly 256 time compression.
My current mod list.

I had to disable IRAI, because it made he game impossible, I ran a test where I had unlimited oxygen, and they depth charged me for 3 days, just doing the same circle path around me.
And this was happening every time.
It became so tedious, I disabled it.

Could someone take a look at this modlist and see whats going wrong? I can't seem to work it out, I have been changing the orders for a few days now, but to no avail.

Follow this one as much as you can and start a new career

Yep, Fifi is running the mod list as Sober says to. That is very important V13.
Tho I would say to use Dynamic Environment 5. It seems to run smoother than RE Revison 3, and causes me less problems. Graphics are just as good as RE Rv3, maybe even a just bit better.

One other thing. Once you get your mod soup to run without crashes, go into JSGME/Tasks and click on 'Save mod profile'. If you need to reinstall SH5 you can go back once those same mods are installed again in MODS folder and click on 'Load mod profile'. It automatically reloads your mods in the same order into the sim, and saves you time as well.

[Fifi]

V13, about IRAI, you can adjust the difficulty in data\Scripts\AI\init (open with notepad).
I have adjusted as below, and i'm quite satisfied:

########### Difficulty parameters ####################
# Note: difficulty is in range 0.0 - 1.0 with 0.0 being no difficulty (sensor doesn't exist)
# for non-merchants
VISUAL_DIFFICULTY_MIN = 0.85;
VISUAL_DIFFICULTY_MAX = 1.0;
HYDROPHONE_DIFFICULTY_MIN = 0.50;
HYDROPHONE_DIFFICULTY_MAX = 0.80;
RADAR_DIFFICULTY_MIN = 0.85;
RADAR_DIFFICULTY_MAX = 1.0;
SONAR_DIFFICULTY_MIN = 0.50;
SONAR_DIFFICULTY_MAX = 0.80;

You have to desable AI Crew Damage Control in your TDW patcher too...

As for your mods list, you can't activate OHII first IMO.
MCCD should go after MightyFine Crew Mod also...
You're missing very nice Dynamic Environment, and FX Update!

It took me some time and lots of modders advices, but my list is running awesome without CTDs. Honestly i can play all day long without a restart!
(and finally was able to use IRAI Inertia Damage + Ship Inertia without issues!!)
Try it after clean install, you won't regret

[V13dweller]

Most of the mod lists I view do not have the mods that I use.

[GT182]

I was wondering where your OHII was V13, as I didn't notice it at the top of your list. As Fifi said, it cannot be installed first. Place it about the same location as in Sober's mod list. depending on the mods you use.

I've never seen or used Reboot's Hot Soup 1.1 or SeaWolf torpedo tweak. I would recommend using Critical hits 1.1 Torpedos or v1.2, and Better Torpedo Graphics v2.

Dynamic Environment mods are very nice, use all of them:

Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod (realistic version) V2.1
Dynamic Environment SH5 BrighterNights V2.1
Dynamic Environment SH5 Shallow Waters V2.1 Patch
Dynamic Environment SH5 Atlantic Floor V2.1
Dynamic Environmental SH5 Shallow Waters V2.1
Dynamic Environment - Winter hotfix 1

Gary,
once again..

Critical hits 1.1 and Critical hits 1.2 are different mods..
Critical hits 1.1 only for torpedoes.. Critical hits 1.2 only for deck gun..

For info, Reboot made those 2 nice little mods i use:
Hot soup 1.1 is mainly for the kitchen meal smoke, and water drips 1.1 for water droplets leaking from top cunning tower to main room floor.
I love the second one
