GWX trouble
 

So I recently installed GWX and now whenever I try to load a game it loads for about 85% then stops and crashes. I installed it like it should, no extra mods, steam version, did everything you should to install it. it worked before when I started it in 1939 but when I try 1940 it crashes. not sure if its a problem in GWX or a compatability problem.
1939 would load but would crash regularly, 1940 would crash when loading a mission
please help.

EXRA: tested it and I found out that the world sometimes improperly loads creating a ton of lag and no ocean and an uplayable game. loading a save crashed it

Hi. Try to open Mission Editor. Is there any error message ?

no errors when loading the mission editor

Maybe you have not enough RAM on your computer. The GWX campaign is bigger than in vanilla game, so there are a lot of sea/land units to load when launching a single mission or a campaign patrol ... I could help you directly via TeamViewer, if you agree.

I have 8 gigs of ram, is that enough?
could it be that my CPU is too new for the game?(Ryzen 1500x)

Found out something else: missions load without trouble. I think its a problem with my RAM, I shall try to monitor the ram usage

monitored loading my save starting in 1939 and loading a patrol, did not go over 40%, could've been that chrome sucked up too much ram and that is why it stopped working. crash=not responding error by windows even though I do not touch my mouse or keyboard

I kept it on default compatability of windows xp service pack 2.
I always run it as admin and the main menu and loading the save while in port is fine but it stops loading and responding regularly when entering a patrol

Hellow there THEBERBSTER! Do you know if a program set to XP mode can use the LAA applet, if Da_Dark_Derp hasn't done that yet?

I too experience the random crash during loading but have found that if I am willing to try a loading a few times I can usually get up and running. If I just can't get the game to load I try an earlier save. Fwiw, I think most of my crashes happen when I'm at sea...

I had a similar thing (running under wine, too). After ages of working correctly, the system just cowped out when loading. It would load the training mission, but then freeze as soon as I moved the mouse.

I fixed it by using JSGMEr, removing all mods, then re-installing with GWX mods first, then other mods, then the Supplememnt to V16B1 (JSGME) last.

p.s. Are you (DA_dark_derp) one of the old DA clan? if so, DA_DarkMadOldBob here.

PROBLEM FOUND: memory issues when chrome is open
