SH5: Bugs, glitches, and issues thread

Thanks for answering SS,

I just uninstalled SH5.
Downloaded and installed it again using UPlay
Updated to 1.2
I have no mods
I played through the tutorial mission
started a new patrol heading to the english east coast.
The problem remains.

From the attack scope:
I don't know how to upload a pic but basically I don't have any officer icons at the bottom of the screen, on the left where the TDC controls used to be is just the basic tube select and fire button from the tutorial, on the right i have the red button with an X in it, the time compression controls, map, crew, and log buttons.
I think I'm missing some info at the top where the mission instructions are displayed.
at the bottom left i have the basic depth, speed, and direction controls.

any UI mods that i install don't seem to have any effect at all.

I'm using windows 7 64 bit.
Is there a registry entry from an old install causing the problem?

Here's a little bug: If you go to the far end of the fore torpedo room, between the tubes, water will spray onto your face.

OK Python, good to see you around and welcome

Let's try this:

Firstly - To check that the JSGME isn't corrupted please read this How to Fix Mod Soup Issue by Webster. One thing to point out is that when you move your mods to the desktop this means the mods ONLY, not the !BACKUP and !INSTLOGS folders remain.

If these issues still persist I'd say this is because a corrupt install. My suggestion is to make a complete reinstall of SH5.
Before uninstalling - make a copy of your 'C:\Users\'user account's name'\Documents\SH5
This is where all saves, personal settings and game progress are stored. After the reinstall - Put the copy back to the same place (in the Documents folder)

After the uninstall;
1. Delete all folders in the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 folder! And (what I suggest) run th e CCleaner to make sure no leftovers are there
2. Reinstall SH5
3. Run SH5 at least once just to make sure the game gets patched to v1.2.0.
Should happen automatically but IF it doesn't - run the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe
4. Download a new JSGME
5. Put the ' jsgme_setup_v2.3.1.exe' into the 'C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5' folder and run it.
During this first run the JSGME should ask you if you'd like to create a 'MODS' folder > answer 'Yes'.
This new MODS folder has to be the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder.

Ready to go.
Put your mods in this 'MODS' folder and remember to check that your mods have the have this; 'mod's name'\data. Nothing more and nothing less.

All of them!

Keep me posted

Hello!

I recently purchased SH5 from Steam, and during the very first mission when you are attacking the very first boat, I consistently get a CTD as soon as my kill is registered.

I'm really looking forward to patrolling the waters with you all! Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi musicalfish and welcome to subsim

CTD with a ship kill can be a few issues
It can be that that ship was not an enemy.
Have you updated to v1.2?

Welcome aboard

Does it happened in the tutorial? or?
Have you any mods installed?

More information - clearer reasons

[Silent Steel]

Just in case you'd like to skip tutorial do this;

1. Go to -


2. Open the CareerHistory.cfg (e.g. with Note Pad ) and do this;


3. Save - Make sure you save it in .cfg format

Thank you all for your help. It was during the tutorial without any mods, but I installed the Open Horizons mod and now it works! I then uninstalled the mod to see if it works without it and it does now. Hmmm. Oh well, I'm certainly not complaining hahaha.

Dunno if'n this has been reported before but:

I had just dived to 20m, the Electric Propulsion had just kicked in, when the the Ubisoft Autosave feature did its thing (Even though I play Offline - go figure!!)

Anyway, I had needs to shut down shortly after and do other things.

"Herr Kaleun, your washing needs sorting out"
"Ja, ja, "(damned @#%$!#@% Bdu orders!!)""

So I come back later and restart the game, load up last save - Ubisoft auto - and find that I have no propulsion AT ALL even after surfacing.

On the 2nd exit, shutdown, restart, reload routine, after surfacing the boat my Diesels kicked in and I was able to proceed as normal even when underwater.

Anyone know why this happens or if there's a preventative?

Hey guys.

I'm new to SH5. I patched the game to 1.2 using an .exe I downloaded from UBI. I've installed JSGME and I'm using Darkwraith's mod pack.

So far its been working great, I'm at just under 81k tones of merchants ship sunk. I'm now 400km due west of Best, France and I've come across an aircraft carrier snd a bunch of destroyer escorts. The problem I've got is no matter how many times I reload my save point I can't lock on to carrier. I can lock on to the destroyers around it with no problem, but I just can't lock on to the carrier itself.

Is there something I'm missing in the setting? Or is this a bug?

I'm on full realism but with external camera enabled.

Thanks in advance.

Look in your \Silent Hunter 5 folder and see if you have that file. If you don't then it's a valid error.
