Yeah, no... Surabaya... if I posted Freemantle, then I erred... & apologize for any confusion that caused... I ended My 1st patrol, after doing that crazy, insane Lamon Bay, Aparri, Lamon Bay circus... then hot footed it to knock out that 1st patrol. I docked, then hit the office, did a quick look to see if there was any upgrades for the sub, finding none, I then went to the map so as to start off on the 2nd patrol.. & CTD'ville....
Thinking back on this now... I do recall some message flitted about of Surabaya being seen as untenable & thoughts of abandoning it & having the fleet rebase there at Freemantle... Before I crash test that file you put up.. I'll take a mo mo & recheck it... I still as for now, have the RTB save before I started the 2nd patrol (that time, successfully & no revisiting CTD'ville...) & can see where I am at exactly... for sure... M. M.

drill down on the RTB savefolder and find the CareerTrack.UPC file. open it with Notepad. look for this parm: PlayerCurrentObjectives=ID168. you wont have ID168 your mission number will be different. reply with that value. please.

Ahoy, propbeanie...
Ok, cross checked that & yeah... am rebased at Surabaya... Not Freemantle... & it was indeed Surabaya, where I had that office/ma CTD occur... The set circumstances sound exactly alike... same career start: Asiatic 12 of '41.. same boat: sargo no sub parts upgrades/no crew changes click map: check CTD: check Right down the line... Only difference, KM was able to pin down the ID on the mission for Him.. It may have been that 1 that did it for Me... of which I regret of NOT having made a copy of My save folder, to know for 100% sure.. M. M.

No... please, reread again KM...
I went back to the save point, BEFORE I docked @ Surabaya, that I experienced the CTD. I did not do any saving before I docked (at Surabaya the 1st time) & the save point where I was @ Lamon Bay that 2nd time... I reloaded that Lamon Bay (2nd visit) & then did a save point, after I got the all clear objective complete, mission complete... made My way to Surabaya, (for the 2nd time) did a save point, before tripping off the dock/rearm box... after that save I proceeded the rest of the way to getting that dock/rearm box to pop up & docked. The 2nd time of doing so, being in the office, I then rechecked to see if there was any upgrades for the boat, again... not making any changes to the crew, again... & then went to the map to see to starting off a 2nd patrol... this time, doing so WITHOUT experiencing a CTD... That action of reloading the save point @ Lamon Bay (2nd visit there) & continuing to dock @ Surabaya for a 2nd time... wiped out any info on the CTD... I didn't think of checking the save files before doing that, for that info of '' PlayerCurrentObjectives=IDxxx # "... in short, as much as it pains Me, to admit it... I goofed... I NOW know if a CTD like that occurs, yet again, to do that.. before I do any thing else... M. M.

The 1st docking @ Surabaya, was when I finished off the part 3, 1st patrol mission, was running through the passage waterways from the west side of the Philippines, to the west side, exiting the San Bernardino passage... I ran into a small task force of 2 DD's, 1 Minelayer & a seaplane tender... which I radioed that in & got orders to sink it. I proceeded on to Lamon Bay, patrolled there the 1st time, completed that, got orders to patrol Aparri right after that... in the course of doing that, ran into a task force, on radioing that in, got the reply back to disengage... which I gritted My teeth & did so. I went to hot foot it to Mariveles, to do a hot resupply. En route to do that, I then ran into My 3rd task force... & just as with the 2nd one, got the same message when I radioed that in. completed the resupply, went back to Aparri... completed that objective aka part 2 of My 1st patrol. Upon doing that, got messaged to then go back to Lamon Bay, but this time, a much larger area in the region to patrol. I figure I pretty much completed that about 2/3 to 3/4 of the time to be there to do so... when I needed to grab some sleep, so I did a save & waited a bit, before exiting the game. I reloaded up the next day, to finish that part of the mission off, got the all clear aka mission complete then hot footed it to dock @ Surabaya, to dock... but... between finishing 2nd trip to Lamon Bay, I did NOT do any saves before docking at Surabaya the 1st go around. I docked & then ran into that CTD... I reported it, & rather than waiting, I reloaded the save @ Lamon Bay (2nd visit...) completed it again, as I mentioned already before.. saved & then hot footed it to Surabaya for the 2nd time.. saving after I completed pt. 3 of My 1st patrol, hot footed it to dock @ Surabaya, saving before I set off the dock/rearm box. BUT, to re-emphasize.. I do indeed have that 2nd visit to Lamon Bay save...

The "Save" he would need, which no longer exists, is the original "AutoSave_OnEnteringBase" save or the "AutoSAve_OnLeavingBase", if it created one when he attempted to leave. Once he went back to the previous Save and then returned to base, the game overwrote the "AutoSave..." stuff, and he got a different roll of the dice for the next mission assignment.
Parameters understood for both of you guys' experiences with a mission assignment, as well as a fellow earlier who had similar at Fremantle. I am getting my cities mixed-up, kind of like "If this is Wednesday, this must be San Francisco", only to find out later, that it is Thursday, and Chicago instead... |

When I revisited this save point once, I went inside instead and encountered a soon-to-be frozen MPF at 279°, 21.5 km from Moen airfield, plus a stationary A1 sub (third one mentioned in this post) and a corvette moving at 1 kt in the channel just NE of there. Finally, on 8/19/43 @ 0440, there was a burning corvette aground on the southern shore of an island 259°, 22 km from Moen airfield. |

Re: CTD's...
Ahoy...
Yeah, propbeanie... kinda like you think it's Wed. & you know that the food service at a resident living facility you live in, serves meatloaf dinner w/ the trimmings, then realize it's Thur. instead & they only serve tuna melt casserole that day & you had your heart & taste buds salivating at the ready for that meatloaf dinner... weird analogy, but... is apt, in its own way... Any who... the main point is KaleunMarco... I now know what TO DO & what NOT to do, should that happen again... this time, being prepared to whack it's block off, should it get brave enough to do so... M. M.

@ KaleunMarco - it'd be nice if they kept more than two copies of those... In my case, those are over-written almost on a daily basis.
We must also thank KaleunMarco for his diligence and tenacity in getting to the bottom of more than one issue, especially lately. btw, do NOT transfer to Tulagi in v1.39 - unless you transfer out right away - if in an S-18 boat (11-01-43), Salmon (11-15-43), Sargo (11-28-43), Porpoise (12-16-43) and S-42 (11-17-43), with those dates being MM-DD-YY as the termination dates at Tulagi for their classes. If you stay to, or beyond those dates, you will be transferred to a non-existent location, and probably CTD. This is fixed in the next release. I unfortunately included an interim version of the Flotillas file, and Flotilla 16 was not in the version of the file in v1.39. @ Mios 4Me - thanks for gathering all of that into one post. Appreciate that. Most of what you describe are ships that were docked at Truk at those times, and then "disturbed" by that rogue group we found. Also of note, when a group spawns in the game, and you catch it at certain times, especially the confines of something like Truk (Tokyo Bay is another), there is not a whole lot of room for a group to "build", and they will seemingly "stand still" for a bit near their spawn-in location. Also though, some are set to slower speeds inside the terminal, and then speed up once outside the confines, and in deeper water. But, we have found a few more issues with some ships lately. s7rikeback is working hard to eliminate duplicates and certain shared assets in the game as much as possible, which makes the game run more efficiently. However, as we go, other issues are then uncovered. This is the reason for not updating the add-in mods yet. The next version of the mod will not be backward compatible, but will hopefully be the end of such changes being necessary in the future... knock on wood - famous last words... @ MM - "I hates me tuna-melt casserole! The fisheeze should not be cook-edd..." a play on Gollum, of course... lol |
