USS Sea Tiger · 06-30-08, 11:40 PM

Hi all

More times than I can recall I have seen this term "CTD" used,, I am guessing the "C" is for crash,, but what does the rest mean?

Now you know the term when SH3 goes back suddenly to the desktop!

When I first got here, I thought it was a reference to some U-Boat illness.

When somebody said "I've had a CTD!" My brain kept telling me "Crabular Testicle Disease"

Then somebody put me straight... hoo! Thank goodness for that!

At some point you'll experience one; it often happens at the worst times (ie. during a really successful patrol) & quite often you will find that your career is completely buggered up as it was corrupted by something.

The save game system is one of the worst things about SH III.

Von Manteuffel · 07-01-08, 10:25 AM

Surely it's

Cry ( What you do when you have a perfect solution on a BB - then the screen goes blank. - Usually only happens when you haven't saved since the start of your patrol; and you're 43 days out with a shedful of tonnage to your credit. )

Tantrum ( What you have after that moment of stunned disbelief and period of weeping after the screen goes blank - usually involves lots of very colourful and loud language and even jumping up and down on the spot, or rolling around on the floor kicking and screaming.)

Depression ( The emotion which follows the tantrum - usually accompanied by weary resignation as you reboot; and a conviction that your computer really is out to get you; often flavoured by nostalgia for the simple joys of Pacman. )

Better....

CTD,

than....

BSOD!

From my experience CTD is:

- When it's too time you've not saved, and you start to say bad words

->

;

- When you're loading a crucial savegame, and you start to say bad words :p ->

;

- When in a moment you're finding a giant convoy with a large number of BB and CV

, and in the next moment you start to say very bad words

->

;

- When you're testing your last mod and you start to say very bad words :hmm: ->

;

- Basically, is when you're playing SH3 and you start to say bad words

->

(with exceptions like unlucky shoots and DD attacks )
