I can't get under 30m in sh5

[alexacco]

Hello all,

i'm new on the forum so if i posted my topic in the wrong section please correct me. My problem is that i can't get under 30m under water. Whenever i do that my compressor, battery and other stuff are destoryed, i get flooded and then i die. What seems to be the problem here??

Alexacco -

where are you playing when you dive? If, like me, you started in the Balkan sea you're probably hitting the bottom. Have your Navigator report depth under keel. The report he gives will probably tell you why you're getting damaged. :)

Gotta eliminate issues caused by the poor documentation before we move onto something else, right? :D

:arrgh!:

[alexacco]

I'm 100% sure that i'm not hitting the bottom beacuse i'm in the middle of the atlantic. It's really anoying. I have 3 destroyers behind, not one torpedo and simply can't get rid of them if i'm 25m under water. Currently playing happy times.
+ i would like to know wich mods did he used (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SAUQDFvils) beacuse he has a bunch of stuff on the screen and i don't??

Thanks in advance

Almost impossible to know what mods are used in a video and, depending upon when it was done, it's probably out of date.

There are a few threads with people asking what mod packages will get them started:

your argument is impeccable :yep:

probably your hull has suffered so much damage that it cannot stand the extra pressure of diving from 25 to 30 m. Try reloading an old savegame or an historical mission, and dive to test wehter your game is in order or not :03:

You are probably looking for New UI's. You can get te last version of this mod from the following thread:

Agreed...that looks like TDW's UI alright :D

[alexacco]

Thanks for the advice. Is there a way to check hull status and where it can be repaired. And i was wondering how to order your crew to fire with a deck gun or is that impossible. I know that shells of fury had this option.

Both are possible using one of the custom UI's available for SH5.

Enable one of them and ask for help in their respective threads if you don't get out locating the appropriate commands :up:

[alexacco]

Okay so i've tried a custom ui (link: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181370) and this one (link: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093). They look really awesome but it seems i can't get rid of some additional windows with flags, time lines...
If i click ''go to the game'' or ''ok'' or if i try to close them nothing happens. What am i doing wrong. I didn't have any problems with other mods.

I would strongly recommend you looking at this thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=190656). You don't have to follow absolutely all steps in it, but you can start looking through things like: how to install mods with jsgme and what little tweaks can you apply to make your game run better.

I believe your problem comes from either 1) corrupted downloads (possible that the archiver that you are using is not able to open the files properly, try 7-zip); 2) you are installing incorrectly, causing files in weird places to cause weird things :)

You also can check the status of your hull/uboat by going to:
1) go to Crew Management
2) Clicl on Sub Systems Menu

You should update your game to v 1.2 before enabling any custom mod. Your current version is displayed on the top right corner of the main menu. Don't trust ubisoft's autoupdater: download the 1.2 patch, and apply it manually :yep:

Hey guys, you may laugh, but I have the same problem..
just tried to install game to the laptop and while loading I see some pop-ups like below and then in the bunker the same as alexacco has..

I was in a stupor :haha:

any thoughts?

Win7 32-bit, .NET framework v3.5.1 and 4.0, my game and my mods transferred via memory stick..

Out of jokes, as I understand you have just copied the game from your main PC to your laptop. Isn't it?

Try instead using the installation disc :03:

[Targor Avelany]

volodya61,
it is also possible that the links are messed up between the game, uplay launcher, registry.

Try a clean installation (i'm sure mods should be fine to transfer and enable). If it continues: post this in a TDW's UI thread - considering that he does periodically lurk this forums, hopefully he'll be able to assist.

[GT182]

V, you have to install SH5 from the disc so the registry knows what's going on. Just copying to another computer will Deep 6 the sim. I tried that with SH3 when I first got it years ago... no workie workie. LOL

You could make a copy of the original install and maybe tranfer it to a second drive in the same computer. That should work.

well, he can dump the registry values related to the SH5 and UPlay launcher from his original computer's registry and upload them into the laptop.. But that just seems like a pain in a curtain area of his body, lol

It could not be a problem with the launcher.. because I'm using the "gray" version.. without any launchers..
I saw similar posts in the NewUIs thread.. I always thought that it is the .NET Framework problem..

Not always. Sometimes a scripting mistake or problem surfaces. :)

I have probably misinterpreted your previous statement:

I am sorry mate, I have no other ideas about what could be causing your problem, but have you tried launching the game unmodded? :hmmm:

It's also a great read :up:

I have probably misinterpreted your previous statement:

When I said "my game was transferred", I meant that I have an .iso file with the game.. and of course I installed the game after the transfer.. :) :03:

Yes, I've tried.. and everything works fine.. error occurs after the NewUI install.. stock + NewUI.. thats all..

I suppose you have already tried resetting New UI's options by replacing the old TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py with a fresh copy of the file :hmm2:

but how and when the files could have be corrupted.. :nope:

while loading scripts were disabled: TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py, Page layout.py and Page Default Hud.py.. maybe some else.. and then I see the picture in the bunker like above..

Who knows but that looks very much like the issue.
You should download a fresh copy of the UI and start again:arrgh!:

Welcome alexacco! :woot:

This 30 deep have been the same to me, as soon as i reach 30 hull breaches.
This is an glitch or bug, after modding the game (thx ;)) it got solved, try some mods and see if it works better! :up:

Unfortunately, my grandpa was not a shaman, and I don't have a family tambourine.. everything else I've tried.. :nope:I had this exact problem. When I installed patch 1.2 things just got worse. When the game is loading savegames or new campaign at somepoint when loading, the game just exits by itself. Not crashes, exits and i even get the after game report in ubisoft launcher. This is happening if i have custom ui mod enabled after patch 1.2.

In my case it was corrupted files..

Make sure you have .NET Framework v3.5.1 installed (for WinXP) or enabled (for Win7).. then download fresh copy of NewUIs and unpack it using 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) (not WinRAR)..

Don't know, never had problems with winrar.... winzip and the rest - yes.

I got my mods to work now. Another thing that comes to my mind is how to find, intercept or track down ships on map those so called ''ghost ships''. In general i don't know how to use map contact. I hope i'm not annoying with so many questions but i'm sort of new to silent hunter series.
