Greetings all

[nutworld]

I just started back immersing myself in SH V. I did the obligatory upgrade to stock v 1.2, and after starting a career downloaded and installed TWoS, and of course with that came the also obligatory CTD.

Did the uninstall game, reinstall clean copy, upgrade, install TWoS CTD dance.

Needless to say this was highly frustrating so I opened up TWoS JSGME, and started installing mods. That has worked, and I am much happier than with just stock game, one of the first things I noticed was I still had in the Museum and game were the additional ships, many of which you can't identify because they aren't in the ID manual. No big deal. Using the TWoS deck gun however has proven to be a challenge as it is supposed to be. But that it was still a part of my game "setup" if you will despite not "USING" a complete (i guess??) version of TWoS was a surprise.

My current "MOD Soup" is in order, this:
FX Update 0_022_the dark wraith
Harbor Charts 1.0 (haven't noticed a change in anything with this)
IRAI_0_0_41ByTheDarkWraith
mnts- more traffic, nations and ships
SH Lifeboatds by Rongel
Shallow Waters Voice Be Gone
Steel Vikings Interior Mod 1.2
Steel Vikings Interior Mod1.22 Patch
TWoS Map Contacts Mod colrs (also no apparent changes to maps)

What I would like to ADD, is
TWoS UI cmd_radio reports. But when this mod is added, none of the UI features will disappear when I click on them and no matter what "game screen" I am on, they stay displayed on top.

I no longer have Crash to Desktop and am able to play the game "fine" but I feel as though I am missing out on most of the TWoS features that will help me enjoy the game fully.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or changes that I need to make to accomplish this? are my MODS installed in the "correct" order?

Thanks in advance

I would post screen grabs of my TWoS radio mod issues but I don't have permission to do so.

Probably because I have been inactive on the forums for so long?? I'm not sure

Hi nutworld
TWoS is 100% ctd free.
So what are you doing wrong or possibly more importantly not doing at all?
You do not say how your game is installed or which type of game you have, download, cd, STEAM?

It is important to follow the installation instructions and the snapshot gps file should be restored to the patcher before running TWoS.
You are already using TWoS even if you do not realize it by the fact that you have installed it but you will not see it.
This means that the mods you are adding are already in TWoS and should not be enabled other than the options you can see in JSGME.

Thanks for your help.

I am running Windows 10 OS, with Intel i7-4700 MQ CPU @2.40GHz on a Toshiba laptop.

My Video Card is Nvidia GeForce GTX 770M driver with latest drivers.

Intel HD Graphics 4600

I have the physical disc of SH V.

The first thing I noticed in regards to your reply is my NVIDIA GPU settings don't give me the option of adjusting my display. The only thing showing in my NVIDIA control panel is to adjust 3D settings with no subfolder displayed in the "tree" to do anything with my desktop size or position settings.
