4gig Ram running on 64 bit.
Have also patch exe file with 4gig patch file.

Will try turning everything down to see what happens.

[derickblyth]

Turning down didn't help.
Even when starting new campaign.
Lags heaps especial if i increase time.
Hopping that my new laptop would be good enough but obviously not.
Will have to go back to my pc and see how that goes with it.

Please, give us your mods list so we can have a look at it.
What are your settings in the Anti Lag d3d mod?
What graphics card are u running?
What are your screen settings? Do they correspond to the ingame options settings?

BTW. What is the version # in the upper right corner of your Main Menu? Should be 1.2.0
Even if it says 1.2.0 - please run the gu.exe (in the 'Support' folder, just to make sure you're patched to 1.2.0 alright).

Such an awesome looking pile of mods. How I wish SH3 had similar, equally current compilation!

Out of some 20-30 modern (=released after 2006 or so) games I've ever installed, SH 5 is only one I've never gotten to run in stable fashion. I keep getting this frustrating random CTD once every 10-20 times I try using periscope. Very,very lame and annoying.

...This mod soup looks so tasty I might have to try it once more.

Are there mods in here that aren't fully compatible with Steam version?

I have only installed the mega mod and anti lag.
Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS]

MMM v0.5 Base Mod
Anti-Lag

My settings for anti lag

RenderAheadLimit=2
FPSlimit=32

I am running the program on a Toshiba Laptop.

Video Card Nvidia GeForce GT 330m 1024mb
Ram 4026mb
CPU Intel Core i7 Q740 @ 1.73 GHz
64bit

Have Use benchmark program to check the performance of my machine and
received a total score of 1036.2.
Would be good to see what other people are running SH5 on and interested in their score.
Have attached link to the benchmark program. http://www.passmark.com/products/pt.htm

Would be disappointed if i cant play this game with the mods.

I purchased SH5 from the internet and downloaded it.
I have reinstalled a few times and noticed that it had a problem both times when it was checking for up dates and both times it said if the problem continues then contact Ubisoft.
Only thing is when i loaded the game the problem didn't arise.
Maybe it hasn't updated to 1.2 properly.
It does say 1.2 on the main menu.
Cant find the GU.EXE.
Where is this support file?
My window settings are the same as the game settings.

Are you sure that your computer freezes? It takes a really long time for a modded SH5 to load. It's happened to me and many others. I also thought that there was something wrong. Now I just start the game and make a coffee until it starts.
Good luck with it

Hi,

First of all, let me just hail you for making a superb mega-mod.

I've just bought SH5, and haven't played SH since SH2 back in the days.
I must say, that this game is absolutely awsome!
I longed for a decent subsim for years, and I sotra missed out on the whole SH3 thing. I didnt realize it was so vigorously maintained and improved, and thought it obsolete, despite it's excellent reviews.

I spent, and still am spending, an awful lot of time in these forums, but without this mega-mod, it would have taken me weeks to figure out what mods to install.

Great work!

I've installed these mods in this order: (please advice if wrong)

1. German U-boat Crew Language Pack (as reccomended in this thread)
2. MMM v0.5 Base Mod
3. MMM v0.5 AIO

Now over to some issues I am experiencing.


1. When loading a saved game, or when ending patrol, it seems to be random (or every other time) that the game loads the coating on my sub. (I use that dark, sound absorbing rubber). If i load game and sub is commission paintet i reload and it usually is applied.

2. Negative reputation.
I chose a rather expensive torpedo loadout for a mission, and used refit, as i figured i probably had enough rep. Well i suppose i didnt. I now cant choose loadout because of negative rep. I cant even buy the free torps.
I can, however, choose "refit" when in sub, and i get the standard torps.
Also it seems rep is not registered proparly, i finished a mission and only got 400 rep? is this correct? It seems I get alot less rep all of a sudden.

3. Crew skill points
At the same time as the abowe mentioned negative rep happened, it also seems my crew get almost no promotion points, where i expect to get lots. EG: i got 1 PP for finishing both "Weserübung" and "Western Approaches". This can't be right, can it?

4. CTD
I'm getting regular CTDs. Thet seems somewhat random, but I think I might have noticed a few reacurring events.

-When i have a hight TC, and time of day/light changes, or message is recieved, and I hit TC1 (enter), It sometimes CTD.

-Random CTDs when looking at ships through periscope.

-Other seemingly random CTDs.

The CTDs are frequent enough to be slightly annoying (not a game breaker), and make me save alot.

5. Lag / Low framerate in busy waters:
I see I'm not the only one having this issue: But I'm getting massive lag/low framrate at higer TCs when in busy waters.
As I understand this is simply due to the massive infoload? Advise to all having this problem. Turn TC gradually down when close to port.
I usually go from 1000-something, down to 500s, when 500 lag, i go down to 250 and so on.

That I think are the only issues I'm having atm... At least that i can think of.

When it comes to the MMM in general I have a few questions I hope someone will answer for me, even though it also touches other thread-subjects, and some of them definetively belogs in some noob thread.(I cant seem to get any decent results in the forum search engine)

Crew skills:
(I'm sorry for not reading properly, but I'm getting confused and just need a def answer)
Is there any mod/patch/fix applied to the Crew Skills?
-If so, which, and what does it do?
- Exactly what are the parameters for earning PPs(and reputation)?

Wolfpacks:
I've just started the OHII "Happy Times" missions, and there is a lot of talk about Wolfpacks.
Now, i understand that there are missions later where all you have to do is follow thw waypoints and stuff, but is there any other way to hunt in packs? I mean, can you in any way "invite" other captains to tag-up (in singleplayer, ofc)

Engine/Propeller Noise vs Decoys:
Im just wondering: When I launch the upgraded decoys (can't remember what they're called), I can se them spinning in the water and everything. Now, this is supposed to simulate a propeller, or sub ping signature, right?
My question is; Does it camouflage my engine/propeller noise? If so, to what extent?


I thinks that's all for now.
Sorry for being a bit of aover the place with my questions though..
If anyone would be so kind as to help me with this questions, or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

you have installed the MMM v0.5 AIO (All In One)
Is it necessary to have MMM v0.5 Base Mod ?

It would seem so.
I tried to remove the mods, and just install german voices and MMM 0.5 AIO,
then i got the ubi-logo and ctd after intro.


As to the rep/skillpoints issue, i dunno what it was all about. After starting moving on to the next campaign I got loads of rep and promotionpoints as I would expect.

I am, however, experiencing alot of ctds. I sometimes have to persistantly restart the game and reload save, maybe 2-3-4 times, before it stops ctd.

One of them was every time i flipped the torp.tube switch(close to a large convoy after refitting once, (not in sub pen)). It was a passing problem however.

Still enjoying the game though. I just wish I could get it to run smoothly.

Hei g maZta,

Vi tar det på engelska så att alla förstår

The following two issues could be related to lack of RAM.
-When i have a hight TC, and time of day/light changes, or message is recieved, and I hit TC1 (enter), It sometimes CTD.
-Random CTDs when looking at ships through periscope.

For lagging FPS I suggest you try the 'd3d Antilag' mod. DL here; http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/BadgerFinn
Please note, this is not just 'any' mod and cannot be installed through JSGME. Make sure you read the enclose 'readme.txt' file.

As for Wolfpacks - nope, sorry to say but this is the one. So far. But I'm confident more will come thanks to all modding wizards around here

As for 'Engine/Propeller Noise vs Decoys':
Yes decoys interfer with the enemy's sonar and cause multiple ping responses to aggravate tracking you.
'To what extent' depends on your sub's noise (engine and crew sounds), so to make a successful escape > go deep and slow (silent run).

As for your other questions I'd suggest you ask Pedrobas, could be related to MMM.

This is what I can contribute with for now. Hope it helps you out a bit.

Cheers

BTW. What are your system specs?

Hi Derick,

Sorry for not answering before, been quite busy

My settings for anti lag
RenderAheadLimit=2
FPSlimit=32 > - seems to be OK, but you could try FPSLimit 36

Video Card Nvidia GeForce GT 330m 1024mb
Ram 4026mb > to increase virtual memory you could try this mod; http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php Not an ordinary 'mod' - read the enclosed 'readme.txt' file
CPU Intel Core i7 Q740 @ 1.73 GHz
64bit

Maybe it hasn't updated to 1.2 properly. It does say 1.2 on the main menu.
Cant find the GU.EXE. Where is this support file?
Make a search in your C:\Ubisoft folder for the gu.exe.
At the moment I can't tell exactly as I'm not at home at my rig...

Please get back to me if this doesn't help you out.
