Strange CTD's in TMO, PE 3 and PE 3.1

banjo · 05-04-08, 04:54 PM

Everything in the game works splendidly except when I take serious damage or am about to be destroyed/sunk. Then, before the game goes into all the death scenes, I am crashed to desktop with the 'report to MS' screen. Anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.

Vista? I read somewhere else about a Vista user having dificulties with PE.

No, XP Home. I dont think I had this problem with just TMO, and I don't think I had it with TMO and ROW, but I'm not sure--a guy keeps trying different mods and then it's hard to remember what did what. I'm not saying it is a PE issue--I just don't know. But it didnt used to happen. All I'm using now is TMO, PE 3 and PE 3.1 which I just added today.

PE 3 is not compatible with TM, as they uses 2 different datafiles, if you read the readme file it says so 2-3 times :p

Anyway I have made a TM compatible version where all the TM files where used for PE3.2 go to the mod selection to find out more:

Thanks Kriller. I read that in someone else's post but I also read your comment aboout fixing it. I read the readme file that came with Pe3 and Pe 3.1 and didn't see that warning, so I assumed I have the compatible mod.

Am I confused? Happens a lot.

Just as an addendum to the above: I installed PE 3.2 as suggested. Subsequently, I was being depth charged and as before CTD. However, this time the ctd was so dramatic that I could not get back into that career. Even tho I had the career saved under three seperate names, everytime I tried to get back into it
it CTD. So for now, I uninstalled all three PE's and am back to just TMO.
