Does this work for windows 10? When I go to my task manager, OSI.exe isn't running. Please help.

Hi TMA
It is easier to use the fix below when passing from one campaign to the next.

Ok guys,

i was away for some time because of my job... back home now !

Started again playing with SH5 and looked at the Subsim forum... i see that some people still have problems with the campaign updates ...

I spoke with a friend last week, he knows server based systems a lot better than me... he pointed me to a possible solution on the problem based on system resources allocation (similar to the one discovered by me for my first campaign update fix). i tried it and it seems another way to handle the problem is on sight ! (most important : it needs to be done only once, not each time the game is started ! )

Tested on Win7 and Win8 but it should work as well also on Win10, since it is based on the same setting for all OS.

Basically the fix is made by changing the system priorities toward running background applications. More resources are then dedicated to programs like the damned OSI which often causes our infamous tonnage bug.

Here the details ! :

- Go to the Windows main control panel and open the system properties;
- Click on "Advanced system settings" in the left part of the screen;
- It should open the "system properties" window. Select the "advanced" tab;
- Click on "settings" under the performance section;
- It should open the "Performance options" window. Select the "Advanced" tab;
- You should see the "Processor scheduling" section with two options available under it. Select "Background services";
- Apply the selection, click ok and close all Windows;
- Restart the system. Start the game and enjoy it !

At the moment i'm playing without problems at all but i'm still testing, i would like to have some feedback from other users . As said before : this action needs to be taken only once, after this change is possible to play without changing anything else each time the game is started !

Give it a try and let me know !

The easiest way to test new solution would be to reach individual campaign ending date, and then if everything work as it should, campaign transfer screen should pop-up...

Old gamesaves or "Change days in bunker" mod could be handy too...

First campaign completed !

Not only tonnage bar is working as it should but also campaign transition seems to work correctly !

First campaign run on Win7 OS, now i'm on with a Win8 OS. At the moment everything is running fine .

Definitely, if the OSI is a sort of emulator of a DRM server... then we need to make our PC to act like one ! Microsoft strongly recommend the setting of a Win OS like the one shown on my previous post if someone want to use it like a server... it seems correct after all !

I would like to receive more confirmations about this fix before calling it "definitive" ...

More feedback wanted, thanks !

Too bad your solution can't fix that stupid instant "jump" form central Atlantic to home base ?!
O boy, you should see my face when I was first time "awarded" with the "mission ending screen" while in the middle of a convoy engagement with OHII on board...
