That stinks!!!!!

emaluzer · 02-18-08, 12:00 AM

On my 2nd patrol came accross a huge convoy of IABL freighters and HMS Rodney right in the middle. Shot one at a Tanker 04 and hit but didnt sink, Fired the remaining 3 at rodney, which all hit and it was listing very severly! Waited out the Destroyers for 40 minutes real time. Finally Rodney sank!!!!!!!! after a bit the destroyers left to go with their convoy. I surfaced to reload my torps. Then continue on my merry way while my torps reload......Suddenly CTD!!!!!!!

Oh well, Have to keep reminding myself it is just a game!!!! Got some good pics of Rodney sinking Tho!

As frustrating as this can be, you are correct

Nice attitude

Hope you get it figured out.

i've the same problem!

Recently the number of CTD is grow, with the add of new ships... very beautyfull, but or you have a wonderfull pc, or you sholud have a lot of time for loading menu:hmm:

When near other scripted objects, whether they be ships, planes, land objects etc, Unless you have a high spec system your fps will more than likely take a hit. Best to drop the tc

Ha, I had the very same thing, large convoy between Brighton and the Isle of Wight, followed them for ages waiting for darkness, then approached with just the conning tower above sea level, had a good peek around and spotted Rodney, sent off 3 fish, turned sharp right and sent off another at a Southampton Class steaming straight for me, all 3 hit Rodney where it hurts and the fourth got the Southampton just as it was turning to avoid, The Southampton went down real quick, Rodney slowed and about an hour later keeled over and sank. I made a hasty escape and was surprised that no hunting party was out to get me. How glad was I, and what tonnage. This is what it's all about I thought, then, flicker, black screen, the dreaded message "Silent Hunter 3 has occured a problem and had to close, Send report / Dont send".
Stop press, same thing last night, marvellous patrol, 16 kills, 36000 tons, all red markers around U.K. I'm going east from Scapa-Flow heading home, nav-maps running at 2fps at 256 TC and it's a real drag, I get close to Heglioland, last lap, not long now me thinks and, flicker, black screen, dreaded message. How sick was I.

GWX2.0, Enhanced Damged Mod, Uboat 1.2, Merchant pack beta ( testing).

My CTD happened when I moved my watch officer to the deck. Then........CTD.

Let IABL know, there was a CTD problem with one of his other tankers. He fixed that one I think it was Tanker 08. Could be that Tanker 04 has the same problem. I fired at that same tanker and the Rodney. Hit and sunk the Rodney but I missed the tanker, looks like I lucked out cuz I didn't CTD.

emaluzer · 02-18-08, 03:31 PM

I already sent him a pm about it......hopefully this is the problem

Letum · 02-18-08, 05:09 PM

The only time I have ever seen a battleship in game it was the Rodney
on the outside of a convoy at 6knts at midnight in calm seas with no
moon I had my last 4 torps ready to fire.....

I identified it as a cruiser 10km away, ignored it and launched my torps at some
tankers from 4km away.

The star shells went up afte I got 4 hits and guess what I culd see clear as day in the
flare light, still doing 6knts.

Marriott · 02-18-08, 08:46 PM

i honestly dont know how i havent had a CTD yet. I'm running 512 mb RAM, 80GB hardrive, and 256 mb graphics card, yet i dont have any problems with fps except near convoys and when in that situation i drop down to 128 tc and its fine. The only problem i have is overheating the odd time but to deal with that i just keep the side of my tower off, so now i have no heat issues either. Dont know why my computer can manage big games with so little problems but i guess its just luck.

Gentlemen, do any of you know if there was a solution to this problem? After a very lack lustre patrol with many dud torpedoes came across a convoy with the Rodney as an escort. Four torps launched at it and a rear shot into a tanker gave me over 42000 tons but then came the crash! This I cant let go as it was a serious boost to my figures! Is there a solution please.
