save game crash

[thebigJ_A]

I have a weird save game crash. I made a point to be alone, no ships around, and on the surface. When it loads, it get's past "Not so long ago...", the UI shows up and I can faintly see the inside of the sub before it goes.

I didn't make any changes to the game between this save and the last. The crash report says the Fault Module is "StackHash_71b2", whatever that means.


The odd thing is that on the loading screen, where it normally has the orders and list of things that happened on certain days (from WBNN I think), the very last entry has the title of my save game right before the one I'm loading in it. Where it's supposed to say "3 Sep: such and such happened)" it says "3 Sep3rd". (The savegame is named 3rd, as in third patrol.) How the heck did that get there?

That's a known issue, I think it has to do with the character limit of that feature, if the "news" is too lengthy it just cuts off at the limit and appends the savegame info. It shouldn't have anything to do with your saved game crashing.

Not really on topic but there is a new version of the "news" mod from WB that gets used with Commander IIRC, all the monthly new reports are fixed so this issue isn't an issue any more.

It's called WB's Warning Orders:

But... warning orders was a part of WB News Network. It had two folders in the rar, WBNN Mission Orders and WBNN Warning Orders. The Mission one went into JSGME and the Warning one had a file called "Menu variable_en.txt" that I pasted into someplace in Commander's folders. It's what put the "3 September:" etc. stuff in there to begin with. Or is this a new version?

There has been no update of his mod as far as I am aware.

I'm referring to this,

which is not actually a recent update (looks to be about a year old now). But it's what I've been using lately and it does rework the monthly "news" blurbs that appear on the memo in your loading screen, making them more concise.

It's set up to be enabled in Commander, replacing the existing 'Menu variable_en.txt' and since I started using it I haven't noticed the savegame info abruptly appearing in the newsblurbs in the loading screen... but maybe I just haven't been playing enough to notice.
