Hi Radox
The TWoS installation program installer is quite straight forward and includes a STEAM conversion.
From your post it would appear you already have a problem with your STEAM download?

Did your remember to do this.
Post #5 Update SH5 From v1.0.5.0 To v1.2.0 Immediately After Installing > Pictorial

And this?
Post #417 How To Run The SH5.exe As Administrator > Pictorial


Another option is to buy a different download which is not expensive.

Also, if you have Steam Silent Hunter 5 installed in the "Program Files (x86)" folder, you will encounter similar issues to what you describe. I've got Steam SH5 working with TWoS excellently, but I changed my Steam Library to my F: drive. If all you have is a C: drive, it's a little tougher, but definitely do-able. Both ways are discussed on the Steam site here. Just follow the link. If you like UBoats, you will like TWoS.

Hey guys, after a sleep i got it working. It turns out i had a really old Uplay install of SH5 and TWOS. I ended up deleting everything from everywhere related to SH5 and started again using my Steam version of SH5. The installer then worked as intended. Cheers.

One question: when the install progresses into the JGSME window, I tried adding all, but it gave me heaps of error messages. which ones do i need to add or are they all optional?

Don’t activate all! They are optional...
Mousing over you will choose the one you need or want, there is info bubble text.
Good hunting

Default Attack Disc Mod Question

I don't know how hard it would be, but would it be possible to mod the attack disc so that the outer ring moves when the switch is on and the compass ring remains stationary (basically the reverse of what it currently does)? Reasoning is it would allow for the other rings to remain stationary relative to themselves, while the relative bearing only changes. This would allow AOB calculations to be immediately dialed in by just changing the target bearing instead of having to change the other discs, ie. course which wouldn't change.

Or mod it so that the outer relative bearing wheel can be rotated manually by the user?

Thoughts?

Hey siege00
Something like that would require comprehensive knowledge of in game scripts. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of active forum members with those skills these days...

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

More details? Did you try the same scenario without non-TWoS mods added?

Dear Vecko: I want to salute you for the very deserved Award received, and for your constant work on TWoS, making SH5 the best Uboat subsim available today. And the resurrection of the badass SH5 didn´t was a joke!

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!!!

Dear mates: I request a little help. The optics of this oldie chap are failing to find in this thread the post about how to change the underwater visibility in TWoS. I know there is a post somewhere here, but I can´t find it....

Many thanks and Happy New Year!
