I recommend these mods to start with

Damage does not get saved so before saving make sure you kill that ship or when you reload it wont be damaged .


Here is a useful link for TDW utilities for SH5

This one seems to be the start of the chain, so it is sticked. The old tips and tutorials thread has been unstuck to make room. It has gotten so long that people are not reading it anyway.

The Management

[THE_MASK]

Why is this unstickied ?

[Takeda Shingen]

I don't know. :timeout:

Fixed.

[Sea_Phantom]

I always like doing the starting Tutorial Mission for the Renown Points to allow me to do 1 or 2 Equipment Upgrades when starting a Campaign.

Early in Campaign, Renown Points are important but not so important later in Campaign as you end up with Renown Point excess building toward Promotion.

I changed the first post . I think it is less confusing for everyone starting the game for the first time to just do the tutorial first .

Sorry to say but the Bdu decides where you go. talk to admiral Karl Donitz, maybe he could send you there. (he's busy until october 1939). :salute:

[THE_MASK]

While on the campaign selection screen just type silentotto .

[HmS Camaron]

hai Sober, it's been for a while since I played sh5 and visited this forum. So lost track on the forum. I remember there was an option for playing without saving the game online. For my pc it's fine, but since I would like to restart a career I had like to save it local.

Remembering an option to check when starting a new career, but can't find it. Can you help me out?

Cya,

Arthur

[Landdon]

Thanks this was really helpful!

[Gelith]

Thanks for this helpful tutorial!

[Loran_69]

Thanks Sober! I just started a career last night and saw all those interface problems (no maps, lot of missing icons, etc.) and slept badly. Now I found your post and discover the workaround in a single line:"Do not install any mods until you have recieved the green tick in the bunker." hé hé, ok, I'll do and will wait for the green tick to reinstall all mods :03:

Great, I'll try again tonight, and if it work, I'll probably spend my night on board :ping:

Thanks again! :yeah:

Thanks for this helpful tutorial!

Hi Soeber,

I followed your instructions, I could speak with the Technical Officer in the
bunker and I was able to upgrade.

The only problem is, that I can not leave the Navigation Map after I have
started a new patrol.

Best regards

Guenter

[volodya61]

Maybe Esc??? :yep:

[razanon]

Enable all the mods with the mod enabler (jsgme) .
Start the game and start a new campaign then click start .

Now I found your post and discover the workaround in a single line:"Do not install any mods until you have recieved the green tick in the bunker."

so which is it? Install the mods immediately after installing the game, or run the tutorial, escape out, and THEN install the mods??

[gAUDi]

Thank you ! :)

[Tones1208]

Good tutorial :yeah:

I'm having some issues after completing the Distant Waters campaign (CTD when ever I try to start the Monsun Gruppe campaign). I can start Monsun Gruppe successfully using silentotto, but I would really like to continue my current career (and more importantly, keep my well-trained crew for the new campaign).

Is there a workaround for this that lets me start a new campaign with the old crew and career history?

I'm using Sober's modlist, including TDW's NewUI 7.5 mods.

Bumping this request... anyone have some ideas?
