What is SH5 RUS?

It's just Russian translation from the localized version.

EDIT: I'll disable it too to make sure)

If disabling all mods doesn't work then try patching the files in the game's root folder - don't use JSGME to enable patched files. Make a backup of them first of course.
I've seen JSGME 'hiccup' when it comes to enabling/disabling files

Just tried the stock game. Only Test mission was enabled.
First torp is dud, second torp is dud, third torp while hitting the target.. and game freeze.

All files were patched in the game's root folder. I haven't used the JSGME to enable patched files.

I think, I'll try to reinstall the game and look again.

Is this different behavior than before? Did the game always freeze on first torp? Have you ever had duds before?

I finally got the game to hang with the dud patch enabled. It only hung when I enabled a salvo. If I always shot single torpedoes it never hung. Don't use the dud patch anymore till I figure out why salvos cause the game to hang with this patch enabled

volodya61 · 05-21-12, 12:26 PM

Unfortunately, not only salvo..

Looks like I figured out why the game was being hung...appears I didn't clean up the floating point stack in my new functions (one reason)

Main reason is because I forgot to increase the size of the code section for my new functions

Sometimes the windows loader would allocate more than enough space for the new functions, sometimes it wouldn't. Explains why sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (it would either interpret the bytes it found as code or as data - if as data game hung). Now that the code section size has been increased this problem is eliminated.

I'm testing the new patch file currently...

Much better! I've fired 12 salvos of 4 torps and not a single hang. Fired mutliple single torps also with no hang. Should have new version of patcher available soon

Did you tested it with yours Magnetic Detonators 4m?

EDIT: Sometimes I get confused with the verbs

Sure did

No problems

Final testing now. I just updated the patch file and re-enabled the patch. Ensuring code looks correct in Debugger and game functions without error and then I'll post new version for download.
