Of course I might be missing something - my knowledge of how campaign works is very basic, Vecko would be the person to ask but he is a rare sight on Subsim recently.

I understood you.

I saw this battle because I moved the bunker and the start of the Total Germany campaign from Memel to Danzig. When my U-29 appeared in the Danzig bunker, then I saw this amazing battle. All this happened on 1 November 1939.

I modified cameras.cam,Shells.zon,torpedoes_g7a-e.sim and .zon,20mm_C38_Twin.sim,Deck_Gun_GE88mm.sim and Vierling.sim,when I load a save(use modified files) which already complete first patrol,and start second game will crash,use original files(start second patrol) will wont.

TWoS will normally work with edited sim or zon files, provided there was nothing in your edits themselves that would cause game to crash.

I'm getting some crashes off the English coast with no warning. Did a clean install, followed the instructions, was even able to run a full patrol with no issues, and this is my second patrol.

Steam, latest version, no custom mods, etc.

Here is a link to the save file. To replicate it, I just have to wait a few minutes / turn on time compression and bam, crash to desktop.

Hey there daemonofdecay! Welcome back.

Are you using bog-stock-standard SH5, or do you have non-custom mods applied? What is your game's install path? Are you running the old disk version of the game, or a Steam or Ubisoft download?

Glad to be back - every now and again I get a craving for some submarines, you know?

The install path is to Steam, so still in Program Files, but no other mods are running. The only mod I have running through the mod manager included with WoS is the one that removes the plastic holder on the tools.

I was able to save the campaign by going to an earlier save and avoiding that area, but I have no idea what caused the crash. I did a bit of trouble shooting with what I could see in the threat, but didn't find anything made an impact. And by avoiding that area I was able to move past the rough time/date of the crash too.

Generic patcher applied fine, had my antivirus disabled during it, had Steam off, etc.

The CTD was without warning, and its the ONLY time I have had anything like in a few hours of playing. Everything else has been smooth.

I have another save that was my first one with the same issue I can upload as well, from a bit further south. I kept trying to figure out a way to avoid the crash - sinking a ship, not sinking it, etc. - and just couldn't find a way to avoid it.

daemonofdecay! On the surface after 13 years' 'silent run'! So long ago you were overtaken by the photobucketprofit scam...your sig's marred photo needs a tad of rejuvenating.

Tells you just how long it has been.

EDIT: To avoid spamming I'll add that I've run two more patrols fully with zero incidents. Next time I'll head back to the Eastern Coast of England and see if I can replicate the issue.
