What's kind of patience is this?

Met a small passenger ship at 345° at british coastal waters. Benno was spotting it - but i had nothing in the hydrophone. No sound and no entry in the notepad...?!? But Benno followed the ship as usual. This happend once before with the same type of ship...
Does anyone know, why ship's propellers are sometimes audible in hydrophone and sometimes not...? Even when they should be heard (close enough, right angle). Is it a matter of speed?
Apart from that, game is running smooth.

TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_149_0 is installed - hydrophone fix and all the stuff is done - exept the advanced settings...

[simpliciter]

So I just decided to buy the $10 steam gold edition, decided how bad could it be for that. Well....
steam/uplay I would assume patches SH5 to the newest version...

but I seem to be experiencing many of the bugs that are supposed to have been fixed, such as CO2 not going away when surfacing (by the way what level is the level that you are suppose to surface at? Anything over 10% seems to happen way too fast?)

Also stuff like TC not turning off (and i was only in 128x) leading me to crash straight into destroyers. Crew not detecting ships that are clearly visible... ships that I detected I am not able to lock onto and use the stadimeter on until I am way too close for stealth, and the stadimeter seems really inconsistent/inaccurate.

I also one time stopped TC and went to scope depth first to check the horizon, and a cargo ship was about 500meters away with no sonar detection. I started to engage and just as I was about to fire the SHIP VANISHED!?! Seriously... it just disappeared. Right there... then poof gone no more ship.

WTF is going on?

[simpliciter]

I know its only been a few hours since my previous post, but has anyone else been getting the CO2 level not lowering after surfacing bug still happening with 1.2? Also I can't find any reference on what level of CO2 is dangerous other than the "over 10%" flag which seems to come up after I've only been submerged for a few hours. Letting it climb to 35% didn't seem to cause any complaints. Is that normal? I just noticed that my version is indeed 1.2 so I am wondering how I am still getting that bug. Also the stadimeter doesn't seem to work right either, per pre patch reports. Going to try some more but before it seemed to be giving me ranges that were way farther out than actual as observed on the map with ruler.

CO2 bug is fixed with "TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_149_0" - and with it, a lot more bugs.

simpliciter - there are LOADS of bugs in this game...! Indeed: it's the worst piece of software i ever had. But: there are also great modders in this community and they made some must-have-mods, which turned this buggy, incomplete game into a thrilling sim...! It took me more than 6 months making this game playable&cool and i had to read endless threads/posts in this forum. Read the threads of The Dark Wraith (TDW), Trevally, Sober, Sjizzle, TheBeast, Stoiamn, etc. in the SH5 Mods Workshop. Check modlists carefully and you will see what they are making out of the buggy stock game! The mod list in my post above contains some of the must-have-mods.
p.s. Looks like you have the steam version? Then, modding will be hard...

Ok, Im confident now that something is wrong with my game. Its 19 October 1939, I fired about 20 torpedoes so far and only one exploded, the rest is dud. I shoot them at perfect angle, from perfect distance. Every torpedo makes it to the target but bounces. I know there were problems with torpedoes in WWII but its just too much. Heres some screenshots from one attack:

As you can see, angle is around 95 degrees and range 1300 meters (other attacks varied from 900m to 3000m) so its a perfect position yet all torpedoes are dud. Heres my modlist:

sobers multi color mod V5
DynEnv v2.9 - 1. Main Mod
DynEnv v2.9 - 5.a Ambient Settings - Darker Nights
DynEnv v2.9 - 6. Sleet for Winter Campaigns

OPEN HORIZONS II v2.3.1
DynEnv v2.9 - 12. Sounds

And if I remember correctly, I installed Generic Patcher and of course version 1.2 of SH5 (this was done by Uplay launcher)

Thanks for the reply. Wow, SH5 is a turd. I didn't think I'd have to do this much work to get it playable after it being out for 3-4 years. Might be easier/more fun to get SH3 working and modded on Win8.

[orlos2]

Wow, it helped :O Thank you so much. For instalation of this patcher I used a tutorial on this forum and from what I remember there wasnt any mention of additional patches, thats why I installed only stock patch

You need to make sure that you have enabled all the Torpedo patches in TDW's Generic File Patcher.

You need this patch below also. just copy and paste link.
