Der Kessel has always been my favorite CC mod, however even before the latest patch for TLD/WAR I remember the mod crashing at the end of battles sometimes (like 1 in 6 battles).
After I started playing again recently it crashes at the end of single player battles ~25% of the time and ~65% of the time in multiplayer battles (and rarely during battles, not related to the airstrike crash I think).
I have tried clean installations of both the game and mod, multiple pc's, compatibility settings etc. It seems to me to be an issue in the mod itself, or maybe compatibility with the latest game patch.
Has anyone got an idea about what the issue could be and how it could be fixed? I would love to play a multiplayer campaign with a friend but having to replay each battle 2-4 times is making it very hard to enjoy the mod.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
