Hi! This could help http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=170

So status update on my CTD search , ive changed JSGME SH5 and KSDCommander exes to Windows 7 compatibility and set all to run as administrator , so far played 3-4 hours no CTD.

Now i have another couple of questions if u guys dont mind answering , is it a common bug that in Exterior view when i torpedo an enemy ship i cant hear after explosions and fire sounds? i only hear torpedo impact explosion and sinking sound and thats it .. no fires sound nothing.. i only see flames .. In SH3 for example i hear all sounds perfectly?

And why i cant see 3D Torpedo damage on enemy ships when i torpedo them ? i have option selected

I can be wrong, veteran SH5 players might correct me on that, but I think that what you described is not a bug but lack of feature. If that was the case, adding a sound to the fire effect shouldn't be too complicated.

Only native GR2 units have 3D damage. Dat-format ships imported from SHIV or SHIII use damage decals instead. If you hit one of them, you will only see 2D damage, or nothing at all.

But there are clearly fire sound files in Sounds folder like Fire_catastrophic , Fire_medium , Ship Fire 1.
Explosion sounds are also here like Secondary_Explosion_Large , Secondary_Explosion_Small , P16_#oil_explosion , P17_@ref_bomb_explosion and many many more but i cant hear them in game

Yes, you are right, I am not sure about having heard fire sounds before (there are things that you don't pay attention to until they get broken and you start missing them), but definitely explosion effect should be accompanied by sounds. Did they stop working suddenly, or they never worked for you? Some sounds stop playing properly after you minimize the game, but they return normal after you save/reload the game. Might that be your case?

This is yes or yes. KSD and JSGME MUST work in compatibility W7 or WXP mode, and with administrator rights. Also, SH5.exe works well with W10, but with administrator rights.

Respect the sounds: from periscopes, it is realistic for me do not hear fire sounds. Explosions and sinking sounds, yes. But flames, with the wind and you submerged, it´s OK for me doesn´t hear the fire.
But if you aproximate the damaged ship and don´t hear the flames, surfaced, it is a another problem.

Regards.

Also for all the awarded members, and for all the modders who contributed to the loooong list of mods included in TWoS.

Congratulations and a salvo of four torpedoes for you! Eel, loss!!!! Eel loss!! Eel loss!!! Eel loss!!!

Wow! I've realize this just now! Thank to all who have voted for TWoS and to all who haven't. Thanks ALL!

TWoS Campaign Start_Type VIIB
TWoS UI cmd_Radio Reports_Auto Target ID

I tried to reproduce your problem but I couldn't. Started new HT campaign, sailed for 7-8 days and all the dialogs from all crew members worked without problems or CTDs...
I'd recommend full game re installation and a fresh campaign start.

Happy new year!

It's about time to update that loading screen with the new patch. If you keep winning subsim awards at this pace, soon there won't be any space for the TWoS and SH5 logos on it

I never minimize SH5 cuz i know sounds get bugged out to oblivion , but about missing fire and explosion sounds ive just tested exterior view of ship sinking as usual no sound of flames and secondary explosions....

I don't think that flames can be heard as well, but secondary explosions yes, they can be heard after some time...Usually when ship a ship is sinking slowly. No big deal IMO anyway, to be honest. It also depends which ship type have been sunk. Imported ships are probably missing those sounds.

Oh well.. glad to know im not alone missing these sounds then.
By the way is there any way to attach these sounds to imported ships ?

There is a way for everything, we only need some time and will...

Hi Vecko!

Many thanks to you and all involved modders for creating this awesome modpack.
Love the feeling of being lost at see in a vulnerable steeltube.

Real navigation is a cool unique feature, just as is the enigmaencryption.
I like it, that sighting of ships is seldom. My hydrophoneman has to find them and when he has found them, I have to locate them. A thing that I can do badly atm. Pure excitement .

No problems with version 2.2.9 so far, thought - thanks to Gap´s great environment mod - I spend my time mostly on sightseeing missions along the coast. At last I can order my annoying xo to shut up.

Happy new year 2019 to you and everyone else on Subsim.
