Anyways, I've been playing SH3 (steam version) for the past 3 days with this mod setup, and have never got it to work flawlessly 
It would crash towards the end of loading the menu or a mission (from the port or save). The thing is, sometimes I am able to load fine and pray to god it works from thereon. It also turns out that in-game it does crash sometimes, (noticed this occurs usually around the bay of northern France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, could be just a coincidence) which finally broke me, as I just couldn't progress anymore.
As such, I tried to do a fresh installation (deleted everything SH3 related) to try and test each mod one by one (should have done this before I know...). I tried out SH3 with just GWX 3.0 and  yup, still crashes. I'm lost, if anyone, got any other ideas, I'll gladly listen. Anyways, I'm gonna go to bed as it's late, and trying to fix this has been driving me crazy. Sidenote: crashes could be from my RAM sticks, as they are iffy for some games, so I'll test this out and update this thread with the results after I wake up.
Thanks! |
In terms of your mod list, the TKSS u-boats and the ARB gui eat up memory.
In terms of saves some general SH3 rules to prevent corrupt saves/ctds.
- only save on the surface.
- only save when 50km or more from land and/or other ships.
- I've had the best luck saving from the navigation map screen.
If any of your saves have "broke" these guidelines, your save may be corrupted causing even base GWX to ctd in which case a re-install is advised.
