SH3 Crashes to desktop on mission load
I'm probably not the first person to post about this sort of thing, but here I go.
I've been watching Wolfpack345's series on SH3 and wanted to get back to playing it. I've even installed most of the same mods in his list. However when I try to load a mission, any mission, the loading bar goes all the way full and then the game crashes to the desktop without so much as an error message. I've installed the 4gb patch and done the compatibly mode stuff, but that hasn't solved it. I'm really frustrated, needless to say. Any help? Here's the link to my PC specs courtesy of Speccy: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/1...DYfEVXGHLFD8xR And here is the list of mods I have enabled: GWX - 16km Atmosphere GWX - Main movie - 'Das Boot' GWX - Open Hatch Mod GWX - VIIC41 Player Sub GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs Thomsen's Sound Pack V3.2cg Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_30_71 Rapt0r's Uniforms V2.0 [Black] Rapt0r's Uniforms V2.0 [Black - All Leather] Patch Rubini´s Underwater dust&plancton v1 M.E.P v6 Optional - ShipVanishingHull for MEP v6 Optional - FSF for MEP v6 TKSS18 German U-Boats Compilation U-Boot 7c-II FixAllSubGWX English & Deutsch Sh3_volumetric_clouds&fog_V2.2 Ricks_GWX_Rec_Man_Final M.E.P v6- VisualSensors for GWX3 Not shown here but also installed: ARB WideGui 1920x1080 V3 |

Specs, & where you have it installed... look ok....
Relooking at your mods list... is ringing a warning bell, with "GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs"... Seeming to recall that there is 1 of the other mods, that is NOT supposed to be used with GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs... or that other mod in conjunction with GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs... Only thing is... can't recall the name, of that other mod... & don't have GWX3, installed, so I, can't read the manual for it. Thought I might have, still had that manual... which is why it took a bit for My reply back now. I'll see if I can find that info... that is, if another doesn't beat Me to it, 1st...  M. M.

Ok, downloaded the GWX3 manual... & found this...
If you use the ―GWX – Navigation Maps and Grid References in English‖ mod it must be installed before installing the "Alternative Flotilla's mod", or the flotilla changes will not take effect. but, from what I can see of... you don't have "Alternative Flotilla's mod", so... that's that. Only thing I can think of... is that 1 or more mods, may not be activated, in the right order... off the top of My head. 1 other thing I can think of... with the non gwx mods... check to make sure that they, aren't double nested, inside of a same named folder... example: English & Deutsch\English & Deutsch\data(whatever folder comes after data in the chain... ) That, can also, cause issues... Not... 100% completely sure... but 1 final thing I can think of... related to non gwx mods, & them not being recommended added in the mix... is with that volumetric clouds & fog v2 mod... know that some discussion was mentioned of issues with that... of clouds/fog disappearing & then right afterwards, of SH3 crashing... I don't know what the user's specs were on their computer, but... it may be that their computer is a desktop... which would be somewhat beefier than a laptop... I think. As I said... not going to swear 100% to that... either... but... as I said, I do know that they, had issues with that mod & their mentioning suffering a CTD with that mod in the mix of the SH3 mod set they were running with. It could be related here, as well. Any way... hope this info helps track down & fix the issue you're having, here. M. M.

Alright, I tried disabling the volumetric clouds & fog but it still crashed. I also checked every mod folder and none are double nested. Another couple of things I didn't mention. I'm playing this (or at least attempting to) on a laptop. I also have SH3 Commander installed like Wolfpack345. Could that be affecting things? Or is this a lost cause and I should give up all hope of ever playing this wonderful game again? |
