Re-reading the mem posts - I think it was 2GB ram and 1 gb vidoe (ah those were the days)

So, did try what I have told you to do or not?

Error log should be in Event viewer- Windows logs - Application

Are you using Snorkel? if so, is it Vertical or Horizontal Snorkel.
If any exhaust is enabled TWOS does not like it and you will need to disable all exhaust.

No not used snorkel at all.

You mean reloading just before the CTD normally happens? Yes tried that recently with the odd CTD and it works. But I have restarted whole campaign and reached HT again.

I looked at the error logs and cant see anything related to SH5. I´d publish it here but it´s huge. Are there specific entries I should be looking for? I cant even tell which entries are related to the CTD.

Not a "reload"...You have to exit the game completely.

hi guys,

I am playing U-28 w/ 11 kills (+1 warship and 3 aircraft) into the Operation Monsun campaign in TWoS. I have exhausted my supply of torpedo's and am trying to 'load' my external reserves.

I've tried several saves/reloads.. Surfaced, running slow with calm weather conditions i have tried dragging the external store into the 'internal storage' slot, and the tube itself but nothing work.. it never 'drags' out of the box and never loads anywhere.

Any suggestion on how to make it work? Is this a known bug?

Yes I tried that with the Brest/Lorient CTD which kept happening. Did not work. That´s why I reinstalled from scratch.

Any ways so far out of Lorient in this new campaign, 2 missions, no crashes in or out of port. Fingers crossed. I am keeping way more saves now

Edit: In fact was thinking about that again, and yes every time it CTDs i have to restart the game. I am bumped out completely and Uplay goes through it´s syncing saves malarkey.

I am sure I can remember this being an issue (a few years ago). I feel it was tagged to a boat type (B perhaps?).

I assume you are in good weather, all stopped ans fully surfaced

I deleted it when i started new campaign. If it happens again, I´ll keep and upload the save game. Really hoping it doesn't happen again!

I think I tried it running at ahead slow. I didn't realize being stopped was a requirement?.. I will try that tonight. thanks for the tip.

Probably something "big" has been spawned just outside of the Lorient harbor, (large convoy, bunch of airplanes, a wolfpack ect)... This is really rare but maybe you were unfortunate enough.
Usually, problems like these can be successfully solved by tweaking your number of days spent in bunker in order to depart day or two before of after problematic date.
Whit TWoS this can be done by using appropriate optional mod (FAQ) or trough KSDCommander settings...

Silent running OFF?
Slow speed is not required in SH5, you only have to be surfaced (kind of stupid, I know). Keep in mind that, in order to compensate for these limitation, external reserves transfer time is drastically increased in TWoS to 4-5 h or more...

Okay cheers. Yes I´ve noticed a few CTDs before just before running into a massive convoy in mid atlantic, so could have been something like that, which having loaded Lorient and surrounding area, my pc could not handle the big spawn it was running into before leaving Lorient vicinity.
