Well,

I'm sheepish back with other questions (at the end of the post). I should probably just quit trying with SH5 and give a go with SH3 but I'm encouraged by others who say that they have a stable install of SH5. So apologies in advance ... for more questions.

I’ve been trying to install SH5 for 2 weeks. Last try was on Friday morning July 15, 2016. I’ve had some luck but the game seems to have things that don’t work sometimes and other things that don’t work other times. I’m not really sure of everything that could be broken because I have not engaged in very much combat. But I still can't get the stadimeter working consistently.

Early last week I thought things were okay because I got the stadimeter and ship manual working. At least I think it was working. I didn’t play long enough to confirm if it was processing accurate ranges when I noticed that the tools on the map were broken. When I tried to place the ruler or compass they would be offset and not placed under my cursor. So I reinstalled the game again. But on the last install the stadimeter is not working again. The ship manual for ID is great but the stadimeter either will not show up or when pressed it doesn’t split the screen when I move my mouse.

Here is the process I used. (Briefly)

I uninstalled the game.
Unstalled Ubsoft
Ran CClean (also tried IOBit unistaller)
Deleted the directories
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\
C:\Users\Mac\Documents\SH5
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
C:\Users\Mac\AppData\Local\Ubisoft Game Launcher
And Removed the registry entries associated with SH5 and UBsoft

Then I download the game from Gamersgate
Installed SH5
Installed Uplay
Updated SH5 to v1.2.0
Started a new campaign and exited the game as the video started.
Edited the Main.cfg file in Documents/SH5/data/cfg
Used the highly recommended settings from http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...20&postcount=1
To change the parts under [TIME COMPRESSION] and [DEVELOPING]
Then edited careerHistory.cfg and changed the HasCompletedTutorial=true rather than false.

Then downloaded the WOS 1.05 MegaMod - The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Subsim Community SH5 Megamod - into the main Silent Hunter 5 folder C;\ubsoft\Silent Hunter 5 and downloaded and extracted the update 2. The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Update No. 15 into the MODS folder of the main directory.

I then ran the JSGME program and it seemed to work well and installed
1. The Wolves of Steel 1.05
2. The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Update No. 15
3. The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Real Navigation_by TheDarkWraith
4. The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Wind & Smoke addon
I did not use a resolution mod because I am using a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (but I also tried all of the other res mods.)

I also tried running the game with and without the WOS Wind and Smoke add on, several times.

After using JSGME to enable the MODs I used the TDW patcher. The TDW patcher worked successfully. On one occasion it didn’t seem to work and I uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch.

On the last two installs I can not access the stadimeter again.

I have been doing clean saves.
I only load personal saves and not auto saves.
If I have an issue I exit the game to desktop and restart the game.

I have uninstalled, cleaned my machine and reinstalled 8 times now. I've spent roughly 40 hours trying to get it working.

So my questions here are about Ubsoft. I wondering if it may be a Ubsoft problem. If is possible that Ubsoft is saving some piece of info in my profile that is causing problems. I’ve spend several hours with Ubsoft tech support trying to set up my launcher so it works entirely offline but Tech support says it is not possible.

• Should I buy another copy of SH5 and start a new Uplay Account?
• Will this increase the chance for a clean install?
• Or if I buy a disk can I load the game offline?

Hi macjim
Is your only install option the Program Files (x86) folder?
A full uninstall should give you the option to remove the documents\SH5 folder containing your saved games.
I would suggest that you make the Generic File Patcher and the Options File Editor Viewer as stand alone applications as these are then not affected by re-installations in the future.
There is also an independent game launcher that can be installed on any drive and in any folder as well.
Uplay is part of the SH5 process so unfortunately cannot be removed only played offline.
I can only suggest buying the dvd version which at least will remove any possible downloading corruptions, and also you own it.
With the dvd custom install you will also have the option to install the game on any drive and in any folder.
The applications I have mentioned are all in my tutorials.

I have recently added new mods to my list and now when I'm on watch and I pull up my binoculars the view through the binoculars is in four small circular frames in each corner.

TWOS contains some 120 mods many of those you show are already included.
Sub Flags is not compatible with TWOS.

Thanks for the help, I will remove all of those.

Another question if you don't mind. If I wanted to install the sobers mega mod that was posted last month with the updates, would I need to uninstall the entire game to wipe all TWOS files clean and then reinstall? Or can I just remove them from the mod enabler and place sobers mod in its place?

Also, in your honest opinion would you prefer TWOS or sobers mega mod?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi ES
Do a complete uninstall from the Control Panel's Programs and Features including the option to delete the saved games folder.
If you intend to come back to TWOS and want to keep your saved games then save the SH5 folder to a different place before starting the uninstall process.
Delete the Ubisoft main game folder as this clear all of the stuff that the uninstall does not do.
No need to uninstall the game launcher.
Use a registry cleaner like Ccleaner.
Reinstall.
TWOS is an easier installation process than sobers in my opinion.
IIRC with sobers there is a bit of tinkering to do regarding mods and mep files.
Read his instructions carefully and you will be ok.
Watch out for dead is dead as you cannot load the last game save if you are killed.

I thank you Peter in answering my questions and I know this is a thread for bugs but if you don't mind I have a few more questions.

First, I've been trying to figure out a MOD but have had no luck finding it. I hope you can follow me here. It's a MOD that has the crew relaying commands I have given in german language and it sounds like its human voices. Like when I give a speed change command or we're diving and surfacing the boat they shout commands to one another. Also when I successfully sink a ship they cry out in celebration. I believe it has something to do with Das Boot. They are sound clips from Das Boot. What Mod is this????? And is it compatible with the TWOS.

Also, I am wondering about a folder I stumbled across. It is under the Silent Hunter 5 folder in my C drive and it is called The Wolves of Steel-documentation. When I click on this folder a whole list of MODS each with a documentation folder comes up. Are these the MODS that are in TWOS? Are they already enabled? If not have are they enabled?

I hate to be asking y'all these questions but SH5 is a game I love to play and I'm just trying to enhance the experience. I appreciate all y'all's time answering these questions.

Hi ES
The mod you are referring to is the DBSM speech mod.
You need to remove the sh.sdl file from it and then it will work ok in TWOS.
You can find it in my tutorials downloads section.
The mods you are referring to are already in TWOS.
Peter

[Ernst Sonntag]

Alright,

I downloaded the DBSM Speech mod 105 from your list.
I deleted the sh.sdl file from the mod.
Enabled the mod and it is working.
Except now when I'm standing in the engine room and the diesel's are running, there is no sound. Any thoughts?
Should I download the Stormy's DBSM v1.3 and try that one?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi ES
IIRC fitzcarraldo in one of the TWOS posts said he enabled the full DBSM mod but he never said whether he removed the sh.sdl file.
Worth a try with the full mod and if that does not work then remove the file.

hello - i think i found a bug

the boat position will not be calculated accurate with wolves of steel .

i found out that this makes it very very hard to patrol an area.

sometimes the computer show me my position is somewhere on land!

i use now the option to show the uboot on my map constant .
everything else map contacts are turned off.

great add on anyway !!

yesterday i hit a medium tanker at 3600 meter with 2 torpedos !
it took me 2 hours calculating again and again ...
and in the end <---- i gave it 4 degree more , because i just had this feeling

this is so satisfying !!
