OH II support

[Sartoris]

Wow, this sounds weird. Have you patched the game to 1.2? It would maybe help if you posted your PC configuration (RAM, video card etc.).

After completing the first objective (Eastern British Coastal) I return to base and select the new mission, 'North Western Approaches'.

Once I begin that patrol, every time I try to open the navigation/strategic map my game crashes. Each and EVERY time. I have tried everything! (Including):
- reinstalled ALL MODS
- Uninstalled ALL MODS except for OH II
- Reinstalled OH II + patch
- reinstalled SH5 completely

And to no avail... the game still crashes each and every time on North Western Approaches.

Any idea of what to do? I've given up at the moment as I have spent 5 hours trying to fix it. Hopefully someone here may have had the same issue?

Hi Gabsau

Yes - as Sartoris says - can you check and post you are v1.2 for stock game and list your PC

Also - please list your mods setup (from JSGME click tasks and export mod list to clipboard - then paste here)

thanks

[Sartoris]

I just noticed something - when activating part 2 of Cerberus mod JSGME detects two conflicts with NewUI:


Folder "data\Sea\NOL_Dale" has already been added by the "NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith" mod.
Folder "data\Sea\NTR_Oronsay" has already been added by the "NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith" mod.

Is it okay to aceept this?

Yes - it is ok

TDWs UI has soan information for both these ships.
No files will be overwritten when you add this - the warning is to say the the "Folders" are already there - so all is ok

Thank you, I always get too cautious when enabling mods.

Hi Gabsau

I have never heard of this type of issue before - so im guessing here

When you are in the bunker (before going on that patrol) can you speak to the upgrade officer and get requests.
If this is greyed out - it is a common bug and can be fixed by save/load.
If you go on patrol without this save/load and you see no loading screen when you start the patrol - there is a good chance of a ctd during the patrol.

You can also try removing "IO_StrategicMap_4_2_for_stock"
I have no idea why - but woth a try as it is a map mod.

Hi Trevally,

Thanks for your reply.

Guess what - I fixed it

I loaded a saved game BEFORE I ended my patrol for the first objective and decided to try 'end patrol' again. Once in the bunker, I selected the new mission and started my new patrol and it works fine.

Not sure why that happened, seems like there may have been a problem with the save game?

Thanks for your assistance and fantastic mod. Am relieved I am able to get back to sea!

At least if someone else ever encounters the same problem they will know what to do.

Hi Kiwi

No - you don't need it
It is only if you use the ceberus ship mod or use TDWs MO

Okay thanks

I am wondering if the threat zone has anything to do with the ctds at scapa ? Should the threat zone end date correspond to the Total Germany end date . I notice that the threat zone lifetime is 99999 which is in hours , which is about 11 years .

Threat zones - like many things in campaign layer have quite open dates.
This is normal. Only where things have to be time or date relevant does it matter.

I am sure scapa is buggy due to the spawning ship nodes.
I can find nothing to control these (how soon does a new ship replace the sunk one) and do not fully understand how they work. This is why in OHII they were not used but the stock ones were mostly kept in.

I have not had a ctd in scapa like most here have had - I have only ever attacked OHII placed targets (not spawned units from a node)
