WoS cross over campaign bug

[alien1234]

Hi im on patrol and at the end of the coastal waters campaign, I keep getting the error message coming up saying campaign/flotilla failed to initialize, save game and exit to main menu and reload inorder to solve issue. I have consulted the forum on the bug and done both "fixes" change osi priority and the other one cant remember what it was. How do I fix and change over to the next campaign?
Thanks

P.s Also tried the other workaround but the cheat silentotto isnt working either

Did you use TWoS Campaign Advance Verifier Testing optional addon?

[alien1234]

TBH I just installed the mod and ran the simulation, I dont know what that is lol and dont know if its automatically run or if it is or isnt running lol.


I did mess around with loading and saving after I posted 1st post, when I docked map layout colours were the same, no missions on the map, but home base had changed to west france lorient but wat still red, i didnt start a lonewolf patrol, but I did a reload of the entering base and did a lonewolf patrol the base was still same the map had changed all france was blue but home base wasnt lorient. I have reloaded an old save, going to dock, check map if base has changed then set out and dock at new base lol if it still works

Nevermind...Just do what your BdU messages have said you to do and when you end patrol in bunker, save the game and read (carefully) Alternative Campaign Progression.pdf found in your TWoS documentation folder.

[alien1234]

I haved tried that but the cheat silentotto doesnt work.

[vdr1981]

I haved tried that but the cheat silentotto doesnt work.

It works...Just type "silentotto" while watching at campaign selection screen...

[alien1234]

lol got it thanks, read some where to change name to silentotto, not type in campaign selecter :P

[vdr1981]

lol got it thanks, read some where to change name to silentotto, not type in campaign selecter :P

Lol...hardly...

[alien1234]

:k_confused: Well, I dont know whats going on, I changed some files, swapped them back altered them again, had no joy on getting my renown transferred over nor crew skill points, though I managed to start the 2nd campaign. Unhappy on starting again from nothing I decided to start allover again to sort out can copy over the save game files. on reloading the original save where I had docked to copy the files over the campaign some how ended as it should have now im on the 2nd campaign with all my and crew points.

The instructions said on what save game files to copy over but inspecting my sh5 folder I have 2 different save game folders they are :- SH5/data/users/"in my name" folder with campaign 2017-xx-xx_xxxx
and the other folder is SH5/data/cfg/savegames and 4 folders 0000000 all ending in 0 to 4, in those folders are 1 folder the same as what is in the other users folder. And a load of cfg,dat files.

the only files I had changed were in the users folder. I copied the entire folder and deleted all entries.

After starting the 2nd campaign with my prev stats I deleted all my save games and just saved it as 1 save. On checking the folder again its still empty, so I dont know where the save went to :(, the whole thing has given me a headache lol.

[vdr1981]

the only files I had changed were in the users folder. I copied the entire folder and deleted all entries.



Before we start you should know that all SH5 gamesaves are stored in "My documents/SH5/data/cfg/SaveGames" folder and they are named something like "0000000d" or "00000001a"
ect... In order to track down your gamesaves better, you should sort your gamesave folders by date modified and especially pay attention to time of gamesave creation because this is the best
indicator which will help you to match your silly named gamesave folders to those shown in ingame save/load menu.

I told you to read carefully...:03: Did I mention anywhere the "Users" folder?

[alien1234]

:Kaleun_Salute: lol yea also I said it was giving me a headache rofl, I was also reading another post of save game folder so got em mixed up :k_confused:.

[vdr1981]

Have you managed to "untangle" it? :)

[alien1234]

I left it as it is as somehow the original save to copy over the file to the next save for the campaign worked when I loaded it, the crossover did its thing lol. I am still commanding the same boat, and dont have an upgrade, also there is no option to be asked for a new boat, the conversations from the crew are saying how they like the new boat lol, so I guess I missed something?

If it's displayed "Happy Times" in upper left corner of your navigation map then everything is OK...Crew dialogs and new sub offers has nothing to do with it...:yep:

[alien1234]

Yes it's all ok, campaign working fine getting regular messages saying lorent is captured getting upgrades etc. How do I get a new boat? If i remember from the stock game i was asked if i wanted to upgrade boat, though that was ages ago when game came out lol

It depends of your current rating, flotilla and in game date... You can check your rating with KSD commander... You can not simply "ask" for new sub...

[alien1234]

Thanks I'll have a look at ksd,. I started from begining and worked non stop up to campaign 2, date is approx 12/7/1940 and just had message i could upgrade boat after the 7th due to base upgrade at lorent. Todate approx 70+ ships sunk 100 to 400k tonnage

[vdr1981]

Todate approx 70+ ships sunk 100 to 400k tonnage

Maybe you should pump up a bit those realism settings LoL :D

[alien1234]

Lol it's 1 down from max, the only ones i have off is external view all others are on and running at 76%

[alien1234]

Hi, I have run KSD, How do I tell if I have the required points to get a boat upgrade? Stats ATM :-

[vdr1981]

Your rating is -2 due to large number of neutral ships on your score and few skipped patrols...:yep:

SH rules are :
1000 merit/renown points per patrol = +1 rating point
less then 100 = -1 rating point
anything in between = 0 points

Maybe you should checked FAQ and tips before you started your current campaign. No new sub for you captain...:)

[alien1234]

Missed 1 patrol lol. All the neutrals from start of log were all french rags flying that i attacked. I did check the flag spreadsheet it didn't say french were neutral/hostile. Only ones on the spreadsheet showing as nuteral were redcross, i think Spanish and 1 or 2 others.

So i know how many points do i need for upgrade?
Thanks

hard to tell at this point...1 or 2...
Flags spreadsheet is more for flags recognition rather then cheat for current nations affiliation...

Ok thanks
