It is just too much going on.

I tested with all SH5 ships removed and just had zonbies ships is harbour. 8 planes attacked this time - it was a fine sight 4 ships sunk and 3 planes down. I had left the DDs in game and they were firing to kill the planes. Each ctd happened with an explostion, either plane blowing up or boat being hit.

When the harbour was fully loaded = ctd a lot faster.
So I stil think this is a system mem issue even for 64bit users.

To fix - I stopped the air attacks on the harbours

Maybe this is the key? Something in FX Update, or the way damage is being applied? I wonder... I'm sure memory is a factor, but I'm still convinced there's more to it..

Harbour have always been a problem. they load and fill up lots of your mem.
Remeber that the harbour is the first place to notice a lack of mem with the piers missing. (32bit issue)

Another cause of ctds was a player too many visiting harbour in the same session.

Kiel in the early versions of OHII was a nightmare due to too many ships, buoys and terrain.
The fix was to strip it down and add zombie ships.

Now when the Brits sen 6 to 8 planes, all firing, DDs and cargo ships returning fire - then an explosion. Its just too much im sure.

Well either way, with the new patch I had a successful patrol & return to Brest just now, CTD-free (and dual-cards). With the new ship fixes, Full seems much more stable. Top work!

Report:
To Scapa and back to base
I never entered Scapa harbour. Still I find that suicidal.

No CTDs, FPS a steady ~60 (12 Mb RAM)
I'm running my rig with no virtual memory (page file), running RAM only speeds up performance significantly.

All in all it was a very pleasant trip except for some terrible encounters with some destroyers, 2 of them sunk.
A really close shave.

thank you for excellent job

PS. Just a question about campaign.. Is there a designated Hull Number (ex. U-21) for the campaign thats in sync, or related to radio messages recieved for orders specifically?

Hi Khelven,

It is very hard to guess what is going wrong with your game when you have so many mods in conflict with each other. You should pick the main mods that you like and go for a smaller mod list, this way you will know what each mod does.

Anyway back to the issue - Patch2 is working for most people so I am sure it is not it.
You can try - remove all mods - install OHIIv1.5 and Patch2 - start a new career. This will test if there are any issues with OHII.

While you do this you should also un-soup your MODS folder. To do this copy each mod to somewhere safe (do not just copy the whole MODS folder) and delete the MODS folder. Then run JSGME and a new one will be made. Put back your mods then one at a time. This is something you should do every now and again if you are changing a lot of mods.

PS. Just a question about campaign.. Is there a designated Hull Number (ex. U-21) for the campaign thats in sync, or related to radio messages recieved for orders specifically?

Yes - that come with TDWs Ui and can be changed with the options editor. The control for the messages is also within the UI where it check your number and adds that to the messages (red ones)




EDIT: Just noticed that Uekels MTNS mod is up to v1.5b for OHII
This is very important that you keep up to date with his mod updates as both OHII and MTNS have to work together.

In patch2 for OHII - I changed a playerbase.mis - this is what would have caused your game to ctd.
See here for fix http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=166

Hi Trevally,

Isn't mtns - more traffic, nations and ships 1_7i the latest one?
At least is that what I find when searching for 'Uekel,mtns' on the forum
Or, should I, when running OHII, add some fix?
V1.5b maybe?
But, where to find it? Doing this search I don't get anything else but the 1_7i...
Regards
