I'll leave it to the pro's to comment first now .. I can think of 500 logical paths to follow from here, but I rather have someone with more knowledge on the subject comment first.

Waithing for resoults...

The first one you ask has been tested. No issues with minimum + FX Update.
I'll test the other one later today .. or someone else could. List is in second post. Beware that I renamed a folder to not incorporate a #.

Ok, found out that SH5 Longer Repair Times is compatible with EUF 1.4 but not with the Patch 1!

Don't know if this has been causing troubles or not, but worth fixing anyway. I'll update my mod soon, if R.S.D is using the same file than my mod, there is a problem also!

No, it's not causing troubles because I fixed your mod long ago but nevertheless I had the same/similar CTDs..

No need for those test versions anymore...

I apologize for leaving somethings out and taking more of your time. I saw your instructions but had no time to change things as requested. I was just making comments on my observations.

Are you supposed to add the IX sub mod for Open Horizons when running the Monsun Gruppe campaign with Open Horizons?

I don't remember if your mod affect weapon repair times as well. Probably no, but if yes Patch 1 hotfix also comes into the picture

Maybe, for avoiding confusionm it is time to repack TheBeast mod as a single package? I also see from his change log that at some point the Uboat sensor sim file was removed fro the mod, but it is still present in the current version, even though it gets ovewritten by many mods

Has anyone heard from him recently?

Haven't seen him (TheBeast) post anything for months across all 3 SH series forums.

No, it contains only equipment.upc file...

Yep, patch 1 hotfix deals with the weapons, my mod doesn't touch them.

And yes, I think it's a great idea to put all EUF-patches and hotfixes together, three installations is too much for one mod!

[vdr1981]

But why would you do that? You should place FX before new UI and after EUF...

[plj]

Cuz JSGME will tell me what it would conflict with .. so now we know

By then looking at the mods it conflicts with, that normaly get loaded after this one, we should find the culprit. Shouldnt we ?

[vdr1981]

OK, i see you point...

Any resoults for Minimum list+ FXU 0.0.22 + R.S.D. v5.3. ? This could tell us a lot..

[plj]

unloading my mods as we speak .. about to test with that

Mike ... could you please find 15 minutes to check of removing FX Updates solves the CTD's for you as well ? atm it's just my evidence .. a little backup would be nice towards it's credability and prove we're on the right track..
