Cannot Load game after Steam install

[knucklebutt]

and the journey continues: used an external hard drive, made sure sh5 was completely uninstalled: installed "U Play" and sh5 into the external hard drive
but no luck. the game comes up and everything on the menu works except "Load Game


zhummmmmm

Hi K

the game comes up and everything on the menu works except "Load Game

Do you mean the game now loads to the main menu?

If yes > you first need to start a New Campaign.

Yes but one thing I just noticed on your screen. I don't have the "tutorial" option on mine

so when I say the game wont "load" it means I click on the :load game"
and it will just sit there for ever, I assume another screen will come upright ??

You have started Career and Saved in Bunker ? Yes ?

[knucklebutt]

no. that screen shot was the freshly downloaded sh5 to the external hard drive

[knucklebutt]

actually I have never really gotten into the game
like the "new campaign " the movie runs and then freezes I can even click W: D"S" and hear the noise of footsteps but nothing moves

Hi k
Not sure what is going on.
When the game loads to the menu screen for the first time you must select "New Campaign" as you have to setup a Captain.
When you press "Start" the game automatically loads to the tutorial.

so when I say the game wont "load" it means I click on the :load game"

No, you must setup a New Campaign first.
You cannot load a game that does yet exist.
"Load game" shows you your saved games.

also no "ships Journal"

You will not see it without one of TDW's NewUI's mods enabled.

ok, probably should have read the manual. but instead just jumped in

however there is still a slight issue
new campaign: intro starts ( which might be the tutorial) I need to climb the stair to speak to the captain: when done I attempt to use W:S:A to move and nothing happens except I hear footsteps on metal. also says to use left click on mouse to see around. : this does nothing

So we are getting closer

really appreciate your time in this

Hi k
W-A-S-D should give you your movements,
The left mouse button should allow you to swing around and also get the correct position to climb the ladders.

The tutorial is not compulsory.
Just starting the tutorial creates the Career History file.
You can exit the tutorial if you do not wish to do it.
Go to:
C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\CareerHistory
[CareerProgress]
ProgressID=Campaign-2017-08-31_1636
ProgressDate=19391027
CampaignID=TotalGermany39
HasCompletedTutorial=false < change to true Exit and Save.
