[TEC] SH5 Campaign Transfer Testing -All hands here!

[fireship4]

Do you still need testing done now that you have released a patch? Should we be up-to-date to do it?

Testing is never done! Stand by for new updated test patch and also try to include Dbgview log in your report. (Coder will explain you how , I guess)

EDIT: Test patch in the first post is now updated...
Dbgviewm is located in your "data/Applications" folder.

To use DbgView is fairly straight forward once you get the hang of it.

1. Launch SH5 and reach the main menu.
2. Switch away to file explorer, silent hunter 5\data\applications and double-click on DbgView.exe.
3. Run Windows Task Manager to see a list of processes. In the Processes window, take note the PID's of SH5.exe and OSI.exe (note, if you're testing my osi priority fix then you want the process id of osi_ubisoft.exe instead).
4. In the DbgView window, press Ctrl-L to bring up the filter box. Enter the PID's separated by a semi-colon into the "Include" box, eg If the PID's were 1153 and 6763 you'd enter them like 1153;6763 and press OK.
5. Now switch back to Silent Hunter.
6. Every minute or so you should see some OSI-related messages pop up in the DbgView output window.

Once you've completed the testing (eg New Campaign etc) you can switch to DbgView and Save As to save the log file and can post any relevant information here.

Hi OC
New test done using Vecko's no 2 test.
Unsuccessfully.
Refitted in Heligoland June 1st.

Picture 1 > Game Launcher settings.

 

Picture 2 > Running background services.

 

Picture 3 > Task manager only show SH5.exe
Do not know what PID's are?

 

Picture 4 > Uplay running in Task manager.

 

Picture 5 > Finished game on June 8th

Hi Peter, thanks, unfortunately the dbgview output contains no info from osi. You might be able to gather the process id's (PID) by adding new column in Task Manager (maybe the View option?). My version of Windows is different to yours so not easy for me to say.

BTW, I don't think the setting of osi to high/realtime makes any improvement sadly. In local testing with watching dbgview output, for me it makes no difference.

I still see many failures on the first (long) load, and 100% success so far on a reload which is much quicker from menu to in-game. I tried many things to fix the first load, none successful. I'm pretty sure reloading is a workaround, at least it seems so.

Hi OC
There was no osi showing in the task manager.
Is this relevant?

Hi Peter, If there's no osi in the task manager, I'd have expected SH5 to complain about being disconnected? Is that happening for you?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi OC
This is the error message I get after making this change.
No error's previously.

Installation steps (if manual):
1. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\data\3\osis\13
2. Rename osi.exe file to osi_ubisoft.exe
3. Extract the osi.exe and subsim.args files from this zip file into the above folder

I ran the campaign, saved in bunker, reloaded, patrolled, saved a few more times. Upon loading a save NE of the English Channel, the game came to an end at approx. 10:12 June 2 1940.

I then re-loaded the save and continued the patrol, saving/reloading one or more times. On loading one of these saves the game again came to an end at approx. 16:32 June 2 1940.

I kept DebugView running the entire time, but was unable to filter after the capture, so have provided the entire file (with my name removed). Please note that as the capture spans multiple restarts, the PIDs may vary.

- SH5 version: DVD updated to 1.2.
- Has campaign transfer been initiated? Yes, please see above.
- Your operating system: Vista x64.
- Does your user account has administration rights? Yes, run game with 'run as administrator' via right click.
- DedbugView Log: http://www.mediafire.com/file/r6uubw...serName%29.LOG

P.S. Is this normally how a campaign would come to an end in WoS? Sailing about and then suddenly the campaign is over and you start the next one in the bunker? I guess you need to head home at the end of May like the text says...

P.P.S. I would like to note I was using WoS 05b with 'CW_Campaign Transfer Testing 2' from the first post. I only applied TDW's Generic Patcher once after installing the main WoS file (a few updates ago), I hope that is correct, I was never 100% sure if I had to re-do this after each update. In any case I haven't had any problems.

Ok so as my exe didn't fix the tonnage/campaign progression issue, you need to undo it/revert the change so that your osi files are back how they used to be.

One way to achieve this that worked for me was to:

1. Delete everything in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\data\3

2. Delete everything in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\cache

3. Launch SH5 from uplay launcher and it will download the needed osi files from ubisoft.

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately yes...It sucks , I know...And this applies to SH5 in general, not TWoS only. The other alternative is to dock and do some manual files editing...

No need for that...

[OldCoder]

The weird thing about this osi dbg output is that after a fresh install of SH5 and patched up (latest TWOS), the dbg output is correct every time. Literally cannot get it to fail now. Frustrating when trying to find ways to fix it!

Hi fireship4
Were you using any of Mama's fixes at the time of testing?

What were you saying Peter? How do you launch your SH5?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Vecko
I launched the game with test 2 from the SH5.exe.
I have been playing with MaMa's background services for a few months.
I was just wondering if fireship4 might have been using one of MaMa's fixes with your test.
I have changed background services back to programs and will run the test again.
