Yup, no dice

Lose the nVidia Control software.
What I've seen it sometimes is more of a hindrance than a help.

Disable it and let's see what happens.

I'm not sure what control software you are referring to.

Hi again,

The one you mentioned in your post (#1722) above - 'playing around with nvidia control panel settings does nothin'

Oh, the control panel is part of the drivers and cannot be removed or disabled. I did remove the profile for sh5.exe and set everything back to default though, made no difference.

Are you using some overclocking software?

Ingame?

In the nVidia Control Panel 3D settings:

1. Do you have a specific profile in the nVidia Control Panel for just for SH5?

2. Try to set the Control Panel so as many options as possible are controlled 'by the program' or 'global'

Sorry for nagging, but anyone have a view on the co2 percent? It takes like 6 hours for me to reach 10 percent wich is deadly. The crew dies at 100 percent in the game. The boats were supposed to be able to stay submerged 18 to 24 hours, and 24 hours gives me like 40 percent. Around 4 to 5 percent seem a critical value medicaly, so it seem sensible to divide the percentagevalue given in the game by 10. I couldn t be able to do scapa my way if I had to breathe the boat before 6 hours..

I apologize if this has been covered before, but it's 2am and I don't feel up to reading 116 pages of thread...

My saves have all suddenly stopped working. I can start the game fine, I can choose a manual or auto save to load, the game loads it, but as soon as I'm dropped into the game, it locks up and requires a force quit. If I'm very lucky, my sub will load and I'll get control of my captain for half a second before it locks up.

I'm only using a single mod: Open Horizons 2 v2.5.

I had a rather successful patrol where I sank a King George V-class battleship north of Ireland, then seriously roughed up a convoy south of Ireland. On my way home (via the Northern Atlantic and the North Sea around Scotland) I ran aground during 4000x time compression, destroying my sub.

After this mistake I tried to reload a save I made shortly after leaving the convoy a mess and discovered that all of my 2-dozen odd saves now crashed upon completion of loading.

What can I do to fix this?

Ps. Almost exactly four years to the day since my last post on this forum. Only out by three days. Wow.

None of those fixes have fixed my saves.

If it helps, I managed to load a corrupt save and get back to base, working entirely from map view, so my sub didn't have to load.

This is what has happened to my sub:



This is a new career, however, so it wasn't a fluke last time.

It appears to have become an issue after some level of tonnage sunk (around 400,000 to 600,000), which I've heard whispers about before...
