Thanks in advance shipmates,

I don't use RN, but saving marks and messages should go this way:


On your main navigation map, in the icon groups on the right, there is your Captain's Log and below the log of all crew messages. In this window, you can 'save journal'. Enter a name and press Continue or OK on the lower right.
All your supermarks and radio messages as well as your destroyed marks (ships sunk) will be saved when you save game. No need to save journal for saving your Captain's Log, this is saved by the game everytime.
Normal marks that you did with protractor, circle, etc. will not be saved and disappear if your reload game.


You will have to reload everytime this journal when you load game. Chose 'Load journal' in the same window and enter the name you've entered before. You also have access to your journal in the main menu.

Polish destroyer ORP Wicher is inaccurately represented in game by Type 34 model, which it didn't resemble at all. Real ORP Wicher was copy of French Bourrasque, which we fortunately also have in game - replacing current model with Bourrasque clone would give Wicher its historical appearance:

I guess using Type 34 might be result of confusion with post-war, Soviet-built ship of the same name which did resemble Type 34

Similar situation with another Polish destroyer ORP Grom, which uses Tribal class 3D model, when real ORP Grom (photo) was more similar to (also present in game) R-Class destroyer (photo). And again, the only ORP Grom with two stacks like Tribal and similar bow shape is post-war ORP Grom from 1950, also built in USSR (photo)

Thanks kapuhy , I'll try to fix this in the next update...

I've replaced both ships in my copy of the game so if you'd like the modded files I'll upload them for you.

Now that I look at it, ORP Gryf minelayer would also have to be changed - not because of being incorrect (AFAIK there's no ship model in SH5 that looks like original Gryf, this ship had quite a distinctive shape, so any similar size single stack DD would do) but because it currently uses R class model so assigning it to both Gryf and Grom would be confusing. Below is how it really looked - I honestly don't know which SH5 model would fit best.

XenonSurf,

Thanks for the fast response!

The fault is probably mine for, perhaps, not making myself clear enough about the object I'm trying to achieve.

That object is not to save these position marks, both my own and those of potential targets, for use in some future saved game but rather in the current game I'm playing at that time. I use them for attack plotting in the current game but as I mentioned in my original post they disappear way to fast to be useful, in about one to two minutes.

I'm wide open to any suggestions from anyone!

Thanks,
Quink

Sorry for misreading you, I regret to say that I don't play Real Navigation, this is surely related, so I hope you soon get your responses to this. Maybe open another topic, because it's a bit secondary to this one I think.

Cheers,

Reinstalled latest TWOS all is fine but i get alot of CTD in first Baltic Operations mission where i have to intercept Polish Task Force , when i see them i send status and contact report , after a bit of time and some TC i get CTD without any error message
SH5.exe set to Windows 7 compatibility and run as administrator.
Windows 10 Pro (with latest updates)
GTX 1080 (latest NVIDIA drivers)
16GB RAM
i5-8600k 5.0 GHz
Tried to install NET Framework 4 which TWOS suggested to install but it said "Same or higher version of .NET Framework 4 has already been installed on this computer."


The problem is that i dont see any crash logs generated.
Is it problem with Microsoft Visual C++ wrong version i have ? I've heard that SH5 is very picky about which C++ version you have installed , I have alot of them installed.

Strange because TWoS is very stable..
Can you post Jsgme mod list?

Hello!

I've been experiencing a glitch where a destroyer will sorta just...appear and circle at a constant distance away from me. This destroyer gives zero hoots about any of its allies that are nearby and is fixated on maintaining its range from my boat.

Thanks for any help and sorry if I messed this post up at all!

This is mentioned in the WoS doc. You need to save/reload, it's a bug of the stock game that cannot be resolved.

ahhh well thank you for clarifying that

sadly my installation for TWoS doesn't work. I'll try to provide as much info as possible. The main issue is a popup window in the main menu and when loading into a game. Both popups cannot be closed. I tried several fresh reinstalls with administrative prividledges as described in the manual. Sadly, this doesn't work either.


1. Operating System, System spec ?
Win 10 Pro, 32GB RAM, GeForce 970

2. What is your version of the game ? (DVD, Uplay download, Steam, other ?)
Steam - WoS Steam patch ran successfully (at least it said so).

3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems.
Confirmed.

4. Provide a screenshot which will show all content and installation path of your main Silent Hunter 5 install folder.
Would love to but can't.

5. Describe briefly your mod installation process and specify any error messages you've got during the installation.
Followed the manual to the tee, with admin privilegdes and all.

6. Confirm that you have checked for solution in provided install instructions and other documentation?
Yes, even in the forum. The suggested solutions here don't work.

7. Specify mods you're using and state your mod order (do not type the list manually, use "Export activated mods list to" JSGME function).
No additional mods are active.

8. If you use any unsupported mods, remove them, reinstall your game/TWoS completely according to install instruction, start new campaign and make sure that the issue still persist.
See above.

9. Make sure to provide as much details as possible when describing situation where problem/bug/CTD can be observed. What should we do in order to reproduce this issue?


10. Upload several screenshots and gamesaves where problem can be observed.
https://imgur.com/a/3GjRV1v
Screenshot 1 is from the main menu,
screenshot 2 is the view when I load into a game,
screenshots 3 & 4 are the contents of my SH5 directory,
screenshot 5 are my enabled mods (none).

EDIT: I tried uploading screenshots but couldn't find out how to. Do you guys have any ideas?
2nd EDIT: provided the screenshots under point 10. Thanks for your help!

Bandicam or Fraps, get screenshot while in game. Then Imgur -> upload image -> get share links -> paste link into your post.

[XenonSurf]

@maxxe,
what do you mean by 'installation doesn't work'? Will it abort, or will it conclude but you cannot start game? Or when you start game it's still the stock game?
