I have no mods. Tonnage Bar remains zero

Bravo · 12-08-14, 06:47 AM

I have seen another post about this but was all about what mods to use or not to use. I don't have any mods. Just standard game. I have bene playing SH5 for ages. But last campaign I did the tonnage bar didn't move. I completed it anyway (losing heavily of course). Now I've started a new campaign and the tonnage bar still won't move. I've begun to think I'm wasting my time playing. Any ideas please ?

Be more aggressive.

But I am. I have sunk thousands and thousands of tons. I'm getting the AMC's in the correct places. Got two. I need three. Tonnage bar still shows a big fat zero.

Hi Bravo

Welcome to the club.

The tonnage bar issue is not a mods problem whether you play with them or with out them.

I sank a Rongel O S tonight with my stern tube and the tonnage bar did not fill.

Exited to the menu

Reloaded the game from the last save and sank it again with a bow tube and the tonnage bar filled.

I then sank an AMC and the bar filled and I completed the Mission 9 ships 51,000 Tons.

Starting the session I had 7 kills showing that filled the bar although not without having to play around with the saves and game play actions I have had to sink the same ship sometimes twice before the bar filled.

The only time you will not be able to fill the bar is if the torpedo record in the Captains Log after a sinking is corrupted with 0000.

Thanks. Maybe mine remains corrupted because I only have 3 saves. "N" (standing for now) "Ship Sighted" and the auto-save in game. So I can't go back in time to when the save wasn't corrupted.

Me too ... no mods and tonnage bar won't budge.
So I installed the open horizon mod and now it works perfectly.

I also added some other fix mods , The game is quite broken with out mods... but with mods it is a jem

Hi bowfin

Sometimes a change is all that is needed to kick start it to work correctly.
