MagzTV (quite big and very good youtuber) is playing WOS :salute:

Very interesting...:up: Too bad because his mod is clearly badly installed (he plays stock game tutorial which will brake his new campaign, English voices ect). It seems that even famous youtubers don't like to read provided documentation...:O:

Hi.
I don't know if this was being discussed already.
I was chased by polish destroyer for about 2-3 hours...eventualy she depleted all DC and i was out of decoys. I have saved the game and next time when i loaded the game i was resupplied with decoys and destroyer was full of DC again. Anyone else got this problem?

Cheers!

[palmic]

I never save a game submerged or with contact nearby.

I believe this is by design.

I can save a game in TWoS 1.06/UP4 submerged and with near contacts and reloads fine.

Only I can obtain a different weather (saved with calm winds and reloads with 12 m waves!). Or lost some contact, but the game loads.

Bets regards.

Fitzcarraldo :Kaleun_Salute:

[fitzcarraldo]

Yes, this can happen sometimes due to some techical aspects of the game. Just shoot the damn thing...:D

I coul think an sleeping polish master is remaining in Kiel when starts the war, he don´t know what to do (depart or surrender?), while the germans attack it. Not a great problem and rare but possible.

Best regards.

I , for example, like to save my game when I enter my home port so I could then tweak my days spent in the bunker with KSDCommander or manually.

The point is, 99% of gamesaves with units around will work just fine. That 1 % still remains though, but it shouldn't pose a big problem if you keep your few recent gamesaves...:yep:

[redline202]

I usually don't save around destroyers but sometimes when destroyer is in hunt for many hours and i need to go somewhere or do something then i have no choice but to save the game.

Usually, short time games works better than long time games. I save a game after an hour of playing, exit the game, rerun it, load the game and continue. Not more than one hour of continued playing without exit and rerun SH5.

It seems the game engine oversaturates the memory with long time games and the game tends to CTD more frequently. Exiting and running a new session cleans the saturated memory.

After returning to port the WoS campaign started as per normal.

So, what can happen if you do not skip the tutorial?

[Buddahaid]

When I took SH5 up again just a couple of weeks ago with WoS, I did not understand it was needed to start a new campaign again after the install, instead of using the one you start during install. That was causing the tool bars to not generate.

There is a lot to take into account if you are not already familiar with SH5, and my familiarity was long gone.

[vdr1981]

Grab latest Update 04c and forget about freaking useless tutorial mission and CareerHistory.cfg editing (ex Step 2).

Hohooo I have my first convoy in new campaign and its clear night!
17kt sunk already, with 4/5 hits, just 2 exploded. 1 cargo sunk by deckgun. :up:

I like how more difficult is now to sink a ship, at 1.05 it was just about to hit em anywhere anyhow. Now you have to aim for a good hit, or just be lucky. Or to hit twice or more - thats more realistic i think. :up:

[Bojanpopovic]

Hi guys! I'm playing first campain coastal waters, and now i just sunk norwegian frighter...after that when i click capitain log to see tonnage my game froze. Restarted game, same thing, game is frozen. Than i tried to save game after sinking and not to go on capitain's log, and after that i couldn't load game that i saved. It is april 16 and i saw on "Flags" that after the 9 April Norway is enemy, so their ships are not neutral anymore...Is this normal issue, i have not problem to play withaout clicking on capitain's log, but just asking? Can somebody tell me that? Sorry for my english. Thanks!

Hello Bojan and welcome on board :Kaleun_Cheers:

Unfortunately this is common issue, please dont believe to flags chart, but check country ports at map.
I would bet all i have You'll see still black port icons in Norway on that date, which means the game still recognize Norway as neutral country.

I had the same issue.

Hey Vecko, is it possible to somehow fix that if you're moving emerged, escorts will not be alarmed by their hydrophones?

I could swear they hear me if there are waves 15m/s and a sub sometimes switch to electric engine.

In that time game toggles to submerge mode and escorts nearby hear your engine the same like if you would be in periscope depth at the same pull. (If you are trying to overtake convoy and you're at full force, they hear you kilometers away).

This is relevant just if there are high waves, because until you're at diesel, game ignores every noises you generates.

Yeah it would be nice if it was possible to define the audibility of a sub by depth, that way you could also simulate thermoclines, although I am not sure if thermoclines are even relevant at the depths we reach. I would appreciate some feedback on this :)

Destroyers can hear you on surface pretty much the same as when you are submerged, maybe even better. I wish I could tweak and separate these detection distances but I don't know how or is it even possible.
On the other hand, AI visual sensors is pretty much dumbed down by night so increased hydro capabilities can compensate a bit in certain situations.
Except changing few values in Sim.cfg file, I really don't know much about AI and it's detection abilities...

[redline202]

Have you tried deleting sim.cfg?

Ok.
On the other hand, i just made a second ambush on my convoy (2/3 hits) in nightly fog now, all dud.. And i think it's much better in 1.06 about sub visibility on close range.
Or is it maybe because Of early campaign and unsecured inexperienced convoys, i don't really know, but i was about 4km away moving just besides if them, and they haven't seen me :)
I could say i was thinking about to penetrate it, but there was not good conditions for it. Small prays and last torpedoes, so i just made sure hits from 90.

I'm in again :salute:

There is totally wrong implementation of relevance of deep and noises from sub in sh5 :)
At ww2 aces as Otto Kretchmer used shallow depths like their cover in convoy (which was really heroic act, none from us could imagine the stress they were in when they did their attacks), just because escorts hydrophones was designate to catch noises mostly in deeper levels. At periscope depth, sub was like stealth in comparison of depth.

This is very opposite to how it works in SH5, here you are much more heard at periscope depth, then in depth, i sometimes even shutdown engines from -30m to emerging.
At the moment when your sub switched to diesel, you are clear to pull forward as sub is totally invisible for enemy hydrophones if its toggled to diesel.

Its nothing very wrong, you can live with it and still to have best sub sim experience ever with this, but its very frustrating if you are traveling in max time compression and some escort 5+ km away is just approaching your course and you know its because it heard something at your position jsut because its high wind a waves.

Its the same like if you are recharging and the game just switch you to normal propulsion because you just penetrate some wave or something.
This is moment, when the game switches you to "submerge mode" and in that moment you are audible like if you would run electric engines.

The range which escorts hear you is dependent on you current tempo, if you use forward-4, you are to be heard for literally kilometers away, so you are very attracting to any escorts around even if you are emerged and quick in high waves..

[vdr1981]

The range which escorts hear you is dependent on you current ...

Exclusively propellers RPM related, regardless if diesel or electric engine are used...That's how SH games work...

[palmic]

aha, ok, but its still the same - if you run through wave, you are audible, if its clear sea with no wind you are totally silent.
Thats what i tried to explain.

No, you're not...Do some testing with map contacts and "Show highlighted sensor region" options enabled...

Harbour raids has been relegated to the realm of new SH5 players because the game engine is not set up for it and also it affects the spawning of convoys that you could otherwise use your skill and daring to destroy. In general, competent players don't indulge in harbour raids because of the ease in racking up tonnage without having to use your skill and imagination to do so. :D

I agree with Kevin...Harbor raids generally suck because AI can not operate so close to the ground.

[THEBERBSTER]

i would say having done Scapa the coastal batteries do quite an efficient job weather permittting.
Anything less than a medium fog and they will take you out.
Try adding mines to your game and then try harbor raiding.

Warning NOOB Alert.

I played a LOT of SH3 but not for a few years, yester day I got SH5 and have installed TWoS and all seems to be working, apart from I suspect me.

The UI is very different to SH3 and I am struggling a bit. I did go through the procedure to set the UI to SH3 style but unless I didn't do it right it made no difference.

I cannot even get the sub to submerge, I have looked at the keyboard shortcuts and checked in the patcher thingy but I cannot even get the depth gauge up or get it to crash dive.

Any help very gratefully received.

BTW does anyone still play multiplayer? If so what's the best way, tunngle?

recognition manual:
key "E" and find it behind your left edge of screen - drag it to screen by handle on the edge.

Watchcrew:
You propably "alt-tabbed" to desktop.
Watchcrew is present at tower all the time you are emerged, no mather what do you order, until you alt tab from game while you are submerged.
On the other hand, if you alt-tab while you are emerged, watchcrew behave ok, but co2 calculating after submerge is broken.

Hotfix is to reload whole game and do not alt-tab.

Thank you!

But reloading the saved game didnt fix the watch crew issue for me. A very nice game with the mod!

Hmm, E worked but I couldn't tell the depth of ships' keel to set magnetic torpedo's depth.

Reloading doesn't fix the watchmen issue not being present even when ordered.

Destroyers can hear you on surface pretty much the same as when you are submerged, maybe even better. I wish I could tweak and separate these detection distances but I don't know how or is it even possible.

Are not the elevation/bearing detection parameters of the obj_Sensor controller correctly applied in game?
After looking at stock settings, it is my understanding that bearing settings are relative to units' heading (0 deg = afore, 90 = abeam, 180 = aft of the vessel/aircraft) and the elevation settings are relative to her zenith (0 deg = up to her zenith, 90 = parrallel to the horizontal plane, 180 = down to her nadir). Unlike player's sensor settings, AI settings are symmetrical, so a bearing of 90 deg means at a right angle relative to vessel's heading on both sides, and aan elevatio of 90 deg means parallel to the horizon both in front and on the back of the vessel.

That said, most hydrophones in game have a MinElevation setting of 80 deg, i.e. their vertical detection arc is not parallel to the water surface but it points upwards, with just a small area left uncovered on the surface, very close to the AI unit. Increasing that angle to 90 deg, or slightly more, should make any enemy sailing ad a shallower depth than AI ship's draft undetectable to her hydrophones (save on high waves, when ships' pitch might bring the detection arc of their hydrophones closer to enemy surfaced vessels during some fractions of second). Small, shallow ASW vessels might still be able detecting a surfaced submarine, but to obviate that problem the attaching bone of their hydrophones might be moved to a position deeper than their keel. I know that this is not an orthodox solution, but if nothing else works... :hmmm:

It is actually really simple.

1. You need to know where your sub is. Use the Navigator and the real navigation scripts (choose the correct script).

2. Draw a line from your position to where you want to go.

3. While drawing the line you can already read the course from the map tool.

4. Set the course for the sub and there you go.

5. You can either watch your progress on the map for long journeys since the real nav script will plat your position every two hours, or you can look at the speed conversion tables to calculate how long it will take you at a specific speed.

But how do you set a new campaign with custom difficulty setting?

Everytime I start a new campaign the custom difficulty is reset to another preset difficulty setting.

Edit:
Ah, never mind found it. You can change difficulty at port. What a dumb design decision from the developers then instead of giving players custom difficulty option right away.

She was doing more than 25 kn so I had to guesstimate torpedo solutions mostly, but I managed to score two lucky hits with wide salvo, one in the stern section resulting in significant speed lose due to destroyed propeller shafts and few seconds later, one in the middle of the ship. Crew decided to immediately abandon the ship and later she went down for more that 88.000 tons under our belt in one single attack. Escorting destroyer couldn't locate our position and she gave up her pursuit after some time...:yep:

I love sims, but I am new to Submarine Sims,, I have kickstarted Uboot, but am eager to try something while I wait.

This SH5 looks interesting, and I almost bought it on Steam before I found your site.....

Can someone point me to a cheap copy I can buy somewhere that will work on Win10?

I looked on Amazon (with the subsim link) and there was a wide range of products avail.. so I am worried I will get one that is not the best... there was also a game pack with 3 games on DVD I think.

Also looked on Ebay but prefer amazon, But I think Ebay had the cheapest price on the 3 pack game with Silent Hunters 5 & Heroes Over Europe & Cliffs of Dover (PC-DVD Computer)


Don't wanna miss-buy if I can, can anyone who is knowledgeable about these things point a new simmer in the right direction?

Money is tight so any good advice would be appreciated!

Any version other than Steam should work ok. The Steam version is more difficult to patch with the Generic Patcher which fixes a lot of the issues with the vanilla version of SH5. Just make sure your version it patched to UBI's last update v1.2 before you attempt to install the TWoS mod.

UPlay download version also doesn't have optional German voices? Is that correct? :hmmm:

I'm not sure but it would be no problem to upload the German voices to Mediafire if they are needed. I thought I already had them there but they are the English voices.

[GrumpyOldGamer]

I see I think my cheapest option would be Uplay, I see keys on Ebay, but can you buy it directly? I don't see it


Starting EP02 of this series,, WOW I can't wait to play now

[GrumpyOldGamer]

will this 3 pack of games work well? was there a gold edition?

Think this is the way I am gonna go, Just wanna make sure it works hehehehe, don't trust the old multi pack game boxes


Sorry if i am asking too many questions, but I am disabled and kind of need to make sure i keep costs down

I have the DVD version with the german option. I think the download version, but NOT THE STEAM, has the german option voices.

In Amazon the download version (and the DVD version), are cheap and all the subsimmers can buy it via SUBSIM and contribute with the site.

Can't wait to try these music mods! I love the idea of this.. I used to have some nice German jazz from just before the wartime but I have lost it all in time now...

[blkdimnd]

The Uplay version can install German voices, but you need to move the files manually.

During install select "Custom Install", and check "German Voices".

Then manually copy the German Movie and Sound folders from \Silent Hunter 5\data\LngGameData\Voices\German\Data to \Silent Hunter 5\data

Also, back up the English voice files if you like. I made an English folder in \Silent Hunter 5\data\LngGameData\Voices\

Another option is the select German Voices and deselect English during the costume install. It will install the German voices for you, but the whole install process will be in German. (Not an issue if you can read/understand German.)

I mentioned it in this post (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2456367&postcount=6706).

I mostly downloaded these tracks from vintage german music lists on the internet.
Tried to filter out music which seems to be not from 30's, iam very pedant for this :)

You can check the mp3's inside the package by your favorite music player.

You'll find just what you want inside "Generic Patcher" options...:yep:

nowhere in there do i see the option to change map marker colors, and i tried following that instruction, but there is no tab for maps that i can see <and i am going to assume that it is probably due to the fact that i have it on steam>

[fireship4]

Thankyou for WoS.

Are your additional 'zones.cfg' files compatible with the latest update? Could I ask why they are optional? Which would you recommend for most realism?

Thanks.

Compatible, of course...We are talking about simple "variation on a theme" optional mods which can be enabled/disabled anytime. I would say that the most realistic behavior of "wounded" or destroyed unit is somewhere in between but since we can not use all the settings at the same time, optional Zones.cfg tweaks will give you the possibility to chose between available options or to select them per your mood...:yep:

Hi,
I am running windows 7 64 bit home premium OS. Want to install the Wolves of steel mega mod, will be on a clean SH5 game install. Do I need to run the game in compatibility mode? If so what compatibility setting should I use? Would greatly appreciate your help/advice on this. :k_confused:

Another case of great support for newbies here, you all should be thankful to Vecko's patience as he is unbelievable kind to helping with 1000x fixed problems of new players! :salute:

BTW. its not the problem of TWOS as vanilla SH5 is less than playable and this is really VERY close to maximum what SH5 could ever be....

the mod looks nice but im definatly too dumb to use the enigma or do manual targeting. cant you create a landlubber version of your mod, for those who just want to enjoy the game?

[elder_gutknecht]

Don't active the enigma mod, and in port don't active the manual target game option
And read theberbster tutorials to target, really fast way to sunk ships

ok first visit to danzig is over. i bought a deckgun for the VIIA but when starting a new patrol there is still no gun installed. bug?
even with TDC on i cant hit anything. there was a freighter at danzig running away at full speed, around 8 knots. the auto function always reported 0 knots! same with distance, 3000 meters didnt change. it seems broken?!?

how do you not activate the enigma mod and the targeting mod? I tried this mod my first night, but i was way out of depth with doing trigonometry to fire a torpedo... I would love to dumb down this mod slightly to where I can play.

also a link to theberbster's tut on targeting pls

:subsim:

EDIT: I also been going crazy trying to figure out how to sucessfully add new single mods to a vanilla install, do you use JSGME or TDW or both or both and more? So confusing...

2nd EDIT: also you put the music mods in the gramophone folder not install with JSGME etc yes?

3rd EDIT: any help would be appreciated as I am currently uninstalled ready to try again

3rd EDIT: any help would be appreciated as I am currently uninstalled ready to try again

During installation of TWOS you have to enable some of these MODS by JSGME application (that with Yellow "G" icon):
1. The Wolves of Steel 1.06\ - MANDATORY
3. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Real Navigation\ - OPTIONAL
4. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Encrypted BdU Orders\ - OPTIONAL
5. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Wind & Smoke addon\ - OPTIONAL
6. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - 4x3 Resolution Patch\ - OPTIONAL
6. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - 5x4 Resolution Patch\ - OPTIONAL
6. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - 8x5 Resolution Patch\ - OPTIONAL

If you enable "3. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Real Navigation", you'll not be able to use waypoints and youll be forced to really navigate on sea (you could use services of your navigator - dead position fix, or cellestial position fix)

If youll enable "4. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Encrypted BdU Orders", youll be forced to decode some messages by enigma - dont enable it if you dont want to use enigma.

If youll enable "5. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Wind & Smoke addon", youll be able to ask your torpedo officer to solve torpedo solution instead of solving it for yourself - enable it if you dont want to set torpedo attacks and rather just push FIRE button.
THIS MOD DOESN"T HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON WITH SHIP'S SMOKE, OR WIND, its just name..

"Resolution Patch" mods are optional, install one of them if you have one of these aspect ratio. For instance i my display resolution is 1920x1200 which is 8:5, so i have "6. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - 8x5 Resolution Patch" installed.

I keep having TWoS crash to (Windows 10) desktop when playing MP, not sure about SPlayer.

I have followed the instructions on installation (and the video) very carefully and I am pretty damn sure I have the installation correct.

Just before I reinstalled using the video very carefully and just enabled 1 and 2 (as it had previously crashed with 3, 5 & 6 enabled.) started it running a MP game on my own and went to the shops, it was still running fine when I came back. Yet when I fired a torpedo and it neared its target it CTD. Thinking about when it crashed before there seems to be a correlation between torpedo firing (or more to the point getting to the point of hittin a target) and CTD.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hi ridley
Windows 10 should not be a problem with SH5.
Are you sure the Snapshot for TDW's Generic File Patcher is enabled?
Peter

[ridley]

I certainly followed the instructions to do so.

Is there a way to check?

[fitzcarraldo]

I certainly followed the instructions to do so.

Is there a way to check?

Disable the mods with JSGME, and run TDW patcher another time, repeating the steps of installation.

Check in the patcher config file if all the folders are correct.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2311571&postcount=1649

Observe the folder and unit of your SH5 installation. By default is "C:", but you could install the game in another unit or folder ("E:", as example), and you need to change these names in the cfg file.

When you restore the snapshot, it appears in a window, it is the only file present.

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :Kaleun_Salute:

[Aminius]

ok i tried, i really did. but i just cant hit anything unless i go within 500m of a target and use the torpedo line on the map to guess where the ship might be.

I can use manual TDC with TWoS and no problem. Hard, but possible and very playable.

And, if you have problems with it, will be the TDW GUI and not TWoS. TDW GUI (TDC, the vorthaltrechner in Uboats), is the best available. And works.

Did you try the New Ships mission? You can train with manual TDC in it.

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :Kaleun_Salute:

Yeah its hard to manually set torpedoes, it is supposed to be as hard as in reality..
I had teaching myself many weeks to create enough of experience to know how to always know what am i doing at torpedo station..

I can confirm CTD in multiplayer session...

However, since I'm not concerned much about multiplayer in SH5 and never really tested it until now, there is a good possibility that it will not work with such complex megamod as TWoS is...

Try to disable all patches with "Generic Patcher" application and if all goes well this time, try to isolate which patch is responsible for game crash in multiplayer sessions...:yep:

It could also be that we would need a new set of multiplayer missions compatible with TWoS...

OK, thanks for that.

I was pretty experienced at making MP missions in SH3 (and my mate more so, but dont tell him that I will never hear the last of it).

If I was to make some SH5 MP missions what should I avoid to have a chance to make them MP compatible?

Great to hear that...We could always use skills of an experienced mission maker.

I'm not completely sure what is going on but it seems that it;s something related to missing ships classes or something. In case of MP1 , I had to disable the magamod in order to be able to open the mission with ME and to remove "old" units, then I enabled the megamod and fill the mission with new units.

I can upload new MP1 modified mission so you can test it , if you like...

[ridley]

Yes please

If we were to include units etc into a test mission, what should we avoid? Is there a link somewhere to the units included in the megamod or units to avoid when creating a mission?

[vdr1981]

Hi SM
The reason it is not compatible is because TWOS uses Dynamic Environment v2.9
You cannot have two different environments in the same game.

Not quite...The real reason is because RealEnvironment mod messes up with some essential and completely non-related files to env settings, like submarines sim files ect.

Is the mission time limited in any way? Every time I have played it I have died, now sometimes that was because I was DC'ed but I have also had it finish when I am perfectly OK and sneaking away.

Actually is the mission set to end once a ship has been sunk?

Can I open the mission in the editor? I have tried but cannot see how (its been 4-5 years!)

Hi - I just bought the Uplay version of Silent Hunter V Battle of the Atlantic Gold Edition from Green Man Gaming, as it was on sale, should this version of SEV work with the current version of the Wolves of Steel Megamod?

How do you use the Simultaneous Hit Slide ruler?

http://i.imgur.com/TkjKr.jpg

Its just to compare how long it will take for your torpedoes to get to their target.
If you want to hit more targets which doesn't share their speed or course, you need some time to set your TDC for second fire (You have to fire at first and then set TDC for diferent shot to second).
In such scenario you obviously need some time after first shot.
If you would like to hit them simultaneously (which is pretty reasonable), you have to fire first torpedo at lower speed, than second one..

By this ruler, you can quickly judge how much time you'll have between shots, if you know the distance.
If you look at your torpedo's overview (key "J") and click at some, you'll see how many knots it makes.
By this you can compare the duration before hit on slow/medium/high speed torpedo mode.

I personally like this tool, but used it maybe twice, or trice.. Iam pretty lazy to target more different targets.
And i never attack destroyers, which is another case where it could be usable, it depends on your strategy of attack.

I mostly attack single ship, or in convoy ambush i expect all of the ships shares their course (which turned to be truth every time yet..).
So only one thing which is different sometime is speed of ships in convoy (and you can see that clearly by your periscope).
So if i am attacking convoy, i just measure speed of one, or two ships, which is pretty easy and fire at same torpedo-speed, based on distance, or escape strategy which i chosen.
Then just fire one, change target speed in TDC and fire second.... or fire two and two at different targets settings....
.. I found that its pretty usable to fire at medium speed and have some minutes to escape to the depth, before escorts getting close..
If you mislead your torpedo against convoy, its very likely you'll hit something deeper in convoy, which should be more juicy hit as convoy had always best targets in the middle, so i dont bother myself with big precision in these cases...
Biggest enemies of your tonnage will definitely be dud torpedoes, at my last patrol in late 1939 more, than half of hits was dud..
But it will be getting better and better as you continue by war...

Hi, totaly new recruit here!
Tried to install TWOS megamod pack, followed the instruction to the letter and ended up with a slight problem wich is that theres a black box taking up a lot of the screen, and a not-functioning window saying "User Charts" in the middle of the screen that can be moved neither deleted or closed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: The game is not steam version, updated. And the mod seems to be installed. It seems like overlapping UI. Can't explain the black box top left of the screen though.
I did find some black dds image files in The Wolves of Steel 1.06\data\Menu\gui\usercharts. Could this be the problem for the black box?

Now that i had a go using this mod, I have to say, one of the best sim experiences ever. Thanks for making the megamod, especially from a newbie, made the installing and modding much less of a hassle. So far my experience in the game has been really great.

I have a slight issue, maybe something I have missed during the setup. When I launch the game for the first time after setting up the game, it dumps me in my rack being awoken up and told to see the captain. I do not have any UI and absolutely no bunker to save and reload in. This is not what I witnessed in the youtube videos on how to install this mod.

I completely uninstalled and manually deleted everything, and tried it all again with the same results. I thought I followed the steps to the letter, but so far, this is unplayable as I do not see anything useful, no idea what to do, and cannot save/reload as per the instructions. I am running windows 10 64bit. Any help on what I can do or what I need to read in order to fix this issue?? Thank you in advance!

The ONLY mods I am using are the WoS mods (all except for the resolution ones of course)
To better clarify what I do, I have a shortcut icon on my desktop from uplay. I cannot run it in admin mode due to uplay. I get the modded loading screen and the menu screen clearly shows 1.2 in the upper right corner. I select new campaign and after a few minutes I hear the German voices and I 'wake' in my bed. I do not have any UI controls. I have tried (in previous install) to save and reload there, after I speak to the captain, etc to no avail. This install, I have yet to save. I have tried launching the game many times trying to figure it out. If you need any more info, I am pleased the provide it. Any help is greatly appreciated. I would love to play SH5 as I have yet to do so (been playing SH3,4 for many years now) but would love to play with is mod instead of vanilla. Thank you! :)

Hi Viper...
Hm, don't know what to say because it is quite clear that you have already checked provided documentation...:hmmm:

Few more questions though...

Are you sure that step 3 is done properly?
Latest TWoS update ?
Post few screenshots of your JSGME and main SH5 install folder.
Did you install DirectX which comes with the game?

Remove the Uplay icon.
Go to your SH5.exe run this as an administrator and then pin to the taskbar to start the game.
Alternatively:
Run the KSDCommander application make this also an administrator and pin it to the taskbar to start your game from.

I use the "third way" for transfer campaigns and works with 5 update. I need to try with 5b but I think is the same.

If in W10 works the third way why to test this more complex way? Is there some important reason?

Many thanks for the updates!

Hi Vecko
The reason why you are getting very little response other than from a couple of us maybe down to the success of your guaranteed work around.
It would appear that the large TWOS community cannot be bothered, or want to try something else that may or may not work after having no luck with MaMa's fixes?

As said, MaMa´s Fix Three works form me and is very simple to implement.

Are you using this fix?

[fitzcarraldo]

Yes, that is I call "Mama Fix 3".

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Vecko
I notice looking back through some of the old fix posts that MaMa recommends launching the game from the game launcher something I have never done in over 4 years.
If you start the game from the Game Launcher .exe does this affect the KSDCommander application if you have installed it?

Good question: Also I don´t load the game from the Launcher, but I don´t use KSD yet....

I was watching some videos of people playing with Open Horizons and I noticed that the Luftwaffe was bombing Danzig Harbor in the opening days of the war. Im concerned because I never saw anything like that when I was in the bay and I was there for quite some time. Is this normal or might my Open Horizons be corrupt?

Latest TWoS update ?
Post few screenshots of your JSGME and main SH5 install folder.
Did you install DirectX which comes with the game?

This evening I uninstalled and stated all over again for a third time. The only thing I did not do is redownload the files due to my crap-tastic internet connection (Living in the country has its benefits, but 'high-speed' satellite internet is not one of them :wah: )
I believe I have the latest update, 1.06_update 03b?
I also installed DirectX off the disc, as it did not automagically do it when I installed originally.
After I did all this, again, I launched the game, running SH5 as admin. I believe it launches uplay to start the game. Anywho, it launched and I noticed right before showing me the menu screen it said something about syncing with the server. Could this be overwriting some files? I start a new campaign and the same thing happens, I wake up in my bed and told to see the Captain. :/\\!!

At this point, I am open to just about anything, including re-imaging my machine! :yep:

Here are a few screen shots you asked for:

Please help me with this. I truly do appreciate all your help and understanding with the level of frustration I am experiencing. And I also appreciate your quick response and willingness to help. :up:

[elder_gutknecht]

At first of the game, a message always pop up "wait, synchronizing saved games"
I play thru uplay with and without check the game conection and always pop up after a short time then pop up a new ok message, click it and that's all
Before reinstall, do you delate the sh5 document folder?
Are you sure that your TDW generic patcher was sucessfully activated and that your folder path in the GenericPatcher.cfg is right?

Vecko, may be only very few people have problems with transfer campaign dates, as you say, remenber stay in water before the date of transfer
And some of us, only can play a few hours over the weekend and this test it's a little "cumbersome"

[HW3]

Viper1 what you are seeing is the game introduction. It plays once then goes into the campaign. I saw it the first time I started a new campaign. Use the w,a,s,d keys to walk around the sub. The latest update is 05b.

The latest update is The Wolves of Steel 1.06_Update 05b (60.10 MB): http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4861

Probably the issue as I believe the latest patch removes the Tutorial mission; in previous updates there was the need to start a campaign, back out and edit files manually.
Good luck!

Everithing looks OK on your screen shots, no need for win reinstall, of course...:)

Just download latest update and start new campaign. The problem is that you were using new updated install instructions with older update...:yep:

Oh boy.... Do I feel stupid. I haven't tried it yet (at work atm) but I will when I get home. I didn't realize there was an update. Sorry for the trouble, I am sure that is the issue.

No, I don't think so...

Installation of TWOS is very easy, i have it In few minutes everytime.

You guys just need to be more patient at first tries and read the docs step by step carefully ;)
