Five hours ago i found a convoy. It was a Hermes Carrier with a lot of destroyers. The carrier was damaged by 2 torpedoes but not destroyed. The destroyers began looking for me. A few minutes later the game CTD. Yesterday in a similar situation, same result.

Then I remember the test we did the other day and what Vecko said:

A little thought: This game is currently great thanks to the work of all of you. We have a lot of fantastic mods, megamods, all kind of customization, etc. But unfortunately we do not have enough stability. I think this should be the first target.

It is almost impossible to enjoy the game if half of the times we start an interesting battle, the game CTDs sooner or later.

I think the main problem in the game now is some bug related to IRAI. But TDW seems not to be here… Then the question is, can we handle this? Is there anything we can do?

This game needs stability, everything else seems secondary. I can help in testing and surely more things. But we need someone with enough knowledge and desire to lead all this. And a new thread.

I hope you agree. Thanks for reading :03:

I agree completely! :yep:
Actually, the CTD you've experienced is the last one if we talk about convoy/units engagement. The probable cause is somewhere within IRAI ship tactics script but I really don't know much about them. I made a bug report in IRAI thread but it seems that TDW is finished with his work on SH5...:(

So far I only know that the game wont CTD if leading battleship is declared dead by the game sooner (use more torpedoes) or if you use fast underwater propulsion so that escorts can actually hear you until leading unit is dead...

Other than that, I haven't saw any CTD during regular convoy engagements for a looong time with WoS...:yep:

An easy thing we can do is to test earlier versions of IRAI. If the CTD does not occur with one of them, maybe we could find what is causing the issue. AIX files are very easy to edit and compare.

The problem is... Where to find previous IRAI releases? IRAI_0_0_41 is the only one I have... :hmmm:

That is very good , great job :up:

You can find IRAI 0.39 here...http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...p?do=cat&id=86

I'll upload v0.37 for you...http://www.mediafire.com/download/jb...eDarkWraith.7z

I don't have any other version...

Ok thank you!

According to the patch notes I do not have much confidence in these two, but with a little bit of luck... :)

I think more relevant changes, for the issue that concern us, were made here:

So I would like to try IRAI_0_0_34 or earlier.

But anyway, I will start testing 0_0_37. Cross your fingers :woot:

No luck, same CTD still present, both v0.0.37 and v0.0.39 :down:

Little problem with SH5 with WoS (and possibly with SH5 vanilla, not tested).

I have ships in ports and in navigation - and Museum - with some flickering textures. Is it normal? All the graphics looks very nice, but the ships have flickering textures in bridges and weapons.

Is there some special SH5 setup for Nvidia Inspector? I have a Nvidia GTX 750 2 Gb graphics card.

Many thanks and best regards.

Yes, that's expected... :(

I'm sure that the problem is somewhere in data/scripts/AI folder , but which scrip exactly I cant tell...:hmmm:
If you could manage to narrow down the problem source to single file that would be extremely helpful...:yep:

EDIT:
Also, If anyone have some ollder IRAI versions on your hard drive please upload them here... :up:

Nothing unusual, but mostly when you use free camera on distant objects...In normal gameplay this is very rare...:yep:

Yes. I don´t have the effect in UZO/scopes.

Many thanks.

I hope it will help...

Put this file in your SH5 library folder(it may be incompatible with your aspect ratio but for now report any improvements on flickering).

Don't forget to make a backup of your original file!

Many thanks. Downloading now.

I use 1920x1080 resolution.

All the best.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

Great! :up:

You see this Claudia?

Tested. Flickering out. Working fine with 1920x1080 resolution.

Many thanks!! :yeah:

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

Happy to help...just for info - I'm using it on 8:5 ratio(1680:1050 monitor)...You got to check if your optics in game works correctly(stadimeter in the first place) on yours 16:9 ratio. I modified this long time ago, mainly for screenshoting...It has three or four zoomes in freecamera mode and some other modifications(reduced flickering)...

OK. Many thanks. I'll continue to test. A possible collateral effect is a not working teleport to attack and obs. scope. I didn't have it with the WoS cameras.cam.

Best regards.

I have the "IRAI_0_0_30_No_hydrophone_on_surface_No_Aircraft_ spotting" on my HDD. Still needed? Where can I upload it?

Thank you! It was helpful.

Using version 0_0_29 the CTD does not happen anymore. I think this is very good. :)

Yeah, I agree. I am trying to isolate the problem and reduce it to a file or a small group of files, but it seems very difficult.

If I touch one file -changing it to a previous versión- the mod often does not work properly, or CTD immediately... or destroyers seems stupid, etc. This way, if the game does not CTD, I can not know if it is for one reason or another, for example missing or malfunctioning scripts, etc.

I can try to go slowly following and understanding the code, but seems a long and complicated job.

So the next step would be to find the exact version that introduced the issue. From 29 to 37 there are still a lot of steps.

Yeah, now I need IRAI versions from 30 to 36, except 32 that was not released. If you can upload it to mediafire, it could be useful. :haha:

Good job Claudia! :up: I've reached exactly the same conclusions...
I'll start new thread to see if someone have those old IRAI versions still on HDD...
