Hello!

I have a problem with TWOS.. after doing some hours of campaign I saved and quitted. When I try to load it again it just crashes the game and sends me to my desktop. I have tried to load all three of my different saved games, all ending with the same result.

Does anyone have a clue of what might be wrong? I am running the game as an admin on W10 x64.

Regards
Simen


Mod doesnt work anymore.
Maybe its an Uplay-Update or something else.
No matter what I do, starting new career or going to the museum : always crash back to uplay.
Worked fine one year ago. I didnt change anything on my Toaster here

Thanks for the warm "Welcome back" mates :Kaleun_Salute:
Problem above solved ! Another SH5.exe was needed.

Subsim helped me out.....as always

[Ghost Dog]

I have a minor issue with sound. I dont seem to hear secondary explosions or fires on board ships. I will hear the torpedo explode, then I will sometimes see the fireballs of additional explosions but there is no sound with them. If I drive close to or move the camera near a burning ship, the fire is silent. Any ideas?

It takes a week or more to load an external torpedo into the sub, this is with the last version of TWoS on a clean install. Even clicking the torpedoman and turning on that ability does nothing, is there a value in a config somewhere I can check to see where this is based in?

[NeonsStyle]

This is probably the better place to put this.

The game crashing was fixed by using the DVD sh5.exe

However now, when I get on board the boat, and set slow ahead
it crashes. Very wierd.

I set up a brand new campaign, took my mission, boarded the boat, checked the TDC was fully manual now (yay); and set slow ahead to leave port and crash!

[EDIT - 1]: So I tried again. Started a new patrol in new campaign, periscope went up in the Uboat pen, I pressed PgDn to lower it, and the game crashed
to desktop again. Does this mod actually work at all???? I'm just having no luck at all with it.

[EDIT - 2]: I removed all mods from TWoS_JSGME app, and ran SH5 again. Splash screen showed WoS. Started new campaign again, set to Happy times.
Took the first mission, started patrol. Lowered the periscope, and started to plot a course. I got as fat as laying the course to just outside the harbour and
it crashed. No mods! I'm at a complete loss!

TWoS is not compatible with uplay download version for quite some time now. You need SH5.exe replacement. Check the forum...

[Dolemite-]

Yeah, I figured out the REAL bug with loading external torps, and will go back to pretending they don't exist.

[NeonsStyle]

I still need help with this:

I am using the DVD sh5.exe from the forum, and installed exactly as recommended. It still crashes though. even if I remove all the TWOS mods from JSGME it still crashes.

Hi NS
Have you installed the gps file in the patcher?
Stock game runs ok?
Updated game to v1.2?

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. The game is 1.2. The stock game ran fine before I put WoS on, though it had no manual tdc which made it crap. I don't know what you mean by GPS and Patcher? I have the DVD sh5.exe that u put me onto.

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi NS
Part of the TWoS installation is to restore the gps file from the Snapshot Folder from TDW's Generic File Patcher.
TWoS would have installed a desktop shortcut for you to install the (GFP)

Thanks. I hadn't done that, but it is done now, and it still crashes the moment I try to leave port. Also the hud is missing.

Hi NS
The DVD fix is this one.

Changing the SH5.exe will not make any difference as it is the DVD one the same as you have installed.
This fix needs a different game launcher.
The missing hud is a game installation problem or the L key has been pressed.

I give up! I spent all day 1pm to 7:30pm installing, reinstalling trying to get it to work. Only once did it
work, but all the in game menus were in german. Reinstall again and again and again,
now when I spawn in on new campaign there's all these black dialogues over the screen
in the sub pen and 1/4 of he screen is black and I can't get rid of. I correctly installed
it for the umpteenth time and it just keeps ****ing up. I have to say the installation method
is very buggy. I give up. Going back to SH4! Now I've got a bitch of a migraine!
If I was a noob I could understand it, but I did computer science at University!

Suggestion for future update of the patcher. Tell the patcher once, what folder to install in,
then just do all over them in one click.

thanks

That would be great but it is not possible at the moment I'm afraid. Nevertheless, large majority of TWoS players are describing the installation process as really straight forward and simple. :yep:



I would only need one more honest answer from you Sir. Did you read official PDF install instructions which can be found here, at least once? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4861 (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4861)
According to your recent posts I'd say that you aren't really familiar with this document. :hmmm:



If I'm wrong, what exactly went wrong during the installation process? What step was so confusing for you? Are you an administrator on your PC or just a user with limited access?

[NeonsStyle]

I only ever give Honest answers. Bull**** helps no one. Doesn't help
me, doesn't help the mod maker, and doesn't solve problems.

I kept getting errors. the first few installs failed from my own fault, however
I got a lot of errors as well. Either during the install process from the patcher, or in game with black screens over the game when you spawned in the sub pen. Never did find out what caused that.

In the end, persistence won out. It took all day, and it wasn't till about
10pm that it finally worked. It's worth all the pain though, because Sh5 with WoS is the game we always wanted.

Now if I could just get it in the pacific theature. :D

I have the uplay version of SH5 and my game borked with that update that broke TWOS so I applied that DVD exe that is floating around here somewhere after not having played for a few months.
But now I am plagued with all sorts of glitches that I feel like are some sort of copy right protection scheme.
What I noticed so far:

- Icons are not showing up on the map occasionally. They will get reported but nothing shows until I look at them myself.

- CO2 does not drop after surfacing till like on the surface for a few hours.

- Crew stops going up on the conning tower.
- Engine does not stop running when docked.


These are not things that happened before the UPLAY bug.

All those problems are probably caused by game alt-tabbing. SH5 does not like that, keep that in mind...:yep:

I'll keep that in mind, I did get kicked out of the game by some lousy popup at some point.

Is this a TwoS bug or sh5?

Incase image does not work. It has to do with my ahead slow/ahead flank etc dial. When i press speed 3, the light goes to 3 but the arrow goes to 2. Same with 4, the light goes to 4, arrow goes to 3. Except with 5, here light and arrow go to 5. As its supposed to.

Just normal Sh5 dial in the left bottom side of the screen. Only Twos mod, nothing else. Bug stays in campaign and in historical mission.

Any ideas?

[Captain Cannonfodder]

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.
I have both the Steam and Uplay Downloads.
The correct version number and it runs in stock as well.

This only just occurred today, I haven't had any troubles before today, every game session is ended by saving it correctly and having it syncronised with "The Cloud"

Obviously i'm using TWOS with only 3 non TWOS mods added, as i said i've never had this issue before today, and i'm seriously baffled by what might cause this. I load the game, it shows the TWOS screen (with the remark to be patient:) ) It then proceeds to the black screen, then i get to choose to either load a saved game or continue my campain etc..i always load a saved game. i get the "tip" with a random picture...and then after that vanishes i get returned to my Uplay starting screen or whatever it's called. I tried even to run as admin, nothing works...what can be the problem? Thank you very much in advance.

[vdr1981]

This may be the problem. Did you accept recently some uplay update or anything similar?


Check the first post of this thread as well...:salute:

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi CC
If your current game was working one day and not the next that is a puzzle as the Uplay update problem usually refers to new or re-installs.
I would suggest you try this and see if it makes any difference?

Peter

[Captain Cannonfodder]

Thank you for the response, I have no idea if I did accept an update for Uplay, it might be possible, I decided the safest thing to do is a complete clean reinstall, and then refrain from using the 3 non-TWOS mods.Plus I am going to try the Berbsters suggestion by playing SH5 offline, see if that indeed makes the difference. :)

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi CC
A complete re-install will give you the Uplay update problem.
However if you are already seeinig "Update" and not "Play or Start" then Uplay has already up dated your game and you will need to use this fix

[Captain Cannonfodder]

Hi, I did a clean install, by the book, including even using UPlay offline, it all works except I no longer have German speaking crew but English speaking. Like in the Stock game. And various commands to crew members are simply not shown in the menu's of the crew members I select. What can be the cause of this, since I now only use a few TWOS items from the JSGME, and no other mods at all? As I said everything else works as it should.

This captain is seriously thinking of torpedoeing his own ship :)

I'm sure it's a minor issue, but i'm not sure what it is.
In any case, thanks for the prior help and thanks for any further help in advance :)

[Captain Cannonfodder]

I found the cause for the issue by going through more of this topic, it appeared I forgot to run the stock game prior to TWOS installation. It all works peachy now, so no more need to torpedo my own vessel, thankies for the help, much appreciated :):Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

[vdr1981]

Hi Captains,
I have updated official TWoS install instructions so that anyone with installation related problems may have more info about how to set up and prepare SH5 for TWoS...:yep:

Hi, after five years I come back to my passion, 'cause I'm blocked at home for coronavirus, I reinstalled SH5 1.2.0, and for the first time, TwoS.
Yes I changed something into TDW options, and as soon as I noticed something didn't work or CTD, I begun Campaign or at least, modded in port.
Now I'm sure that NOTHING changed but, in last missions , when I transfer external torpedoes, troubles begin: ahead flank but u boat don't move with propellers making bubbles of cavitation, and when, after end of transfer I decide for periscope depth, in a few seconds my sub is extremely damaged and sinks...
Many greetings to TDW, but I ask myself if lots of programmers here could be able to rewrite SH5 entire code, 'cause it's the main problem .
Of course if u run stable patches over an instable game , u can imagine the result...

I downloaded the installer 4 times, and always get the same error: "Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation." This always happens when the installer is extracting TWoS Env Settings - Brighter Nights. This happens with the DVD and the Steam versions. Any ideas?

Hi drexvil, do you have winrar installed on your PC?:hmmm:

[nonnobit]

Oh yesss...
For anyone who told me to read transfer instructions, sure I read it, but I learned yesterday by myself that during transfer , u boat stops even if engines are ahead flank, till to the end of transfer, and it means when transfer icon disappears...so u have to wait end of ability ,not only when u see torpedoes are inside sub...sorry for my impatience...
However gameplay stability is very delicate, so I mention another thing I noticed: I navigated to English coast to sink ships in port, and as soon as second torpedo sinks a particular ship, CTD occourse...because after target identification , game marks that ship as leader of a convoy...
We are here to learn and enjoy, and that's even for fantomatic teachers...:03:

That shouldn't be happening in TWoS. Are you sure you didn't corrupt your installation with some custom mods?

[nonnobit]

Hi Vdr!
I changed nothing or custom anything, just changed some TDW options,of course in port, about ship's identification, to have ship and speed model in the right bottom as soon as my officer identifies ship. "Item notes enabled"
So I have an idea of speed before AOB.
By the way, I've just closed SH5 with a message of " Failed transfer orders" :
I'm in patrol for more than a month, sinking enemy, fighting against airplanes, refit in Heligoland and waiting to come back to Willemhaven NOT before 7 June of 1940, as recommended by BdU.
I saved progress as recommended and tomorrow I'll tell u what Doenitz wants to do about my 90.000 tons of ships sunked...
I hope everything goes well, because if I should use "silentotto" , seems to me that I can't keep any crew skill and boat's upgrades...
Maybe in that case should I restart from the first Campaign?:k_confused:

I don't think I understand you well enough Sir. Can you tell me what should I do exactly in order to reproduce that torpedo hit/sinking CTD you've mentioned in your previous post? :hmmm:

[nonnobit]

After I have enabled item notes,

when I move cursor over ships in nav map, I can see just above message box , their speed, and when I get identification that my officer can see, it's model too, such as Bulk cargo ecc..
But when I went to Tyne in night time to sink ships docked in port, behind me I could saw multiple ships contacts with escorts ( a large convoy ) coming close to Tyne and then go on to south of England: in that moment when I move cursor over last ship docked to sink it, I noticed it's name was " Large Convoy" and not Bulk Cargo anymore: lots of times it happens when u click on a far ship icon, and when u get closer u can see there are effectly many other merchants forming a convoy;
so when I destroyed her in Tyne, I think Sh5 core had lost ship He designated as convoy leader and this causes some kind of bug and CTD...
Note that IMO , about my experience in Sh5, it's...normal, because gameplay follows some rules ( bad rules) and I , with that behavior, have gone against that rules...
Yes it's a bug oh SH5 , not TWos, and because of it I think that Romanian Ubisoft programmers should have rewrite the entire code, if this game had more commercial success in the years, and not only followed by few lovers such as Subsim community.
It's my opinion of course :subsim:

[nonnobit]

Well, now I'm going to play.. see u later:Kaleun_Cheers:

Dear Vdr, how many things I've lost in these years!
I found your Campaign workaround to continue game, sorry for my ignorance.
I've also read in TwoS documentation that's not a good idea make harbour raids :
"Due to several engine and AI limitations, harbor raids in SH games are generally very unrealistic and they are commonly regarded as a cheap
way to "pump up" your tonnage. Also players presence within 60 Km of traffic generator nodes (mostly located in harbors) will prevent game
engine to spawn any convoys or units which can lead to potential campaign corruption"

I just can thank u and anybody else who made this Megamod ( I imagine how many nights spent on pc to mod and test game...):Kaleun_Applaud:
However, when I have anything to ask , I 'll write here.

Hi Captains,
everything goes well with TwoS,
but I made some mess with U boat Captain's names and Hull number.
I started in U-32 as Oscar Entwickler.

I've used Campaign Workaround progress, to go on in Happy Times, no problems.

Then I changed name in ship's journal
with Eisen Wolf and U-47 as new VIIB , so when I try to open it in Main menù ,it says " unable to open file";

Then I manually open ( top left of journal window) and it opens it,
but hull's name is always U-32.
I'm at Lorient , save "Entry in base" twice, but when I start patrol , in journal I have U-32, and I receive msg from BdU directed to U-47, and I'm pretty sure i's me!
How can I resolve?:wah:

There could be any number of issues. Is this a first time install of SH5? If not, you need to clean the save folder.

Did you install as admin to a safe folder (not c:\Program Files\ or similar)? Mine is installed at c:\Ubisoft\.. I don't know if the steamapps folder is similarly protected. You should also take ownership of the entire folder and all files.

Is it the latest version of SH5?

Did you run SH5 at least once to establish the save folder?

In your screen shot of JSGME, I see no files being conflicted or overwritten other than the aspect ratio add-ons. You should only be using one of them. Uninstall the other one.

[PongoDeMer]

3catcircus,

First, many thanks for replying. In answer to your questions:

1) This was a first time install of SH5 1.2 (Steam)

2) It was a safe install on my E drive, NOT anything to do with Programs File or Program Files (86) which are located on my C drive.

3) Yes, I ran the game once.

4 The only save file I could find was in the Ubisoft game launcher folder. Is this the save folder you meant? I have also looked in the SH5 file in Documents on my C drive, and in the Steam and Ubisoft folders I discovered in Program Files 86. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that looks like an obvious save folder.

I'm sure I've done something wrong, but can't think what. However, please take note that I am a 61 year old semi-geriatric, not a 14 year old computer whiz-kid who has been an I.T. expert since birth!! Please use simple language.

Best regards

With WoS installed, I tried to run SH5 without activating it via JSGME, just to see what happened. I got precisely the same error message as before.
,
This is odd. I thought that this particular mod was supposed to work via JSGME and could hibernate in the MODS folder, without making its presence felt, until activated. What obviously seems to have happened is that the WoS installation has overwritten some files located elsewhere.... But what?

I'm probably barking up the wrong tree.

So, there should be a folder named C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\My Documents\SH5\ with an "_ExtraData.save", "YOUR UPLAY USERNAME_ExtraData.save" (if saving to UPlay), and possibly a sub folder labeled "data". As long as there is a folder labeled SH5 inside your documents folder, you should be good.



Was STEAM active in the background when the STEAM conversion tool popped up during the install? Did the TDW Generic File Patcher run and you clicked "YES" about a zillion times? You restored the snapshot? (SH5, UPLAY and STEAM need to be shut down before you run the TWoS installer). CTRL-ALT-DEL and bring up the task manager and look in the Applications and Processes tabs (or it may just be a processes tab depending upon which version of Windows you are using). Make sure they aren't running - if they are, shut them down. SH5 should be shown in the Applications tab, and UbisoftGameLauncher.exe, upc.exe, and UplayWebCore.exe should be shown in the Processes tab if they are running. Steam Client Bootstrapper, Steam Client Service, Steam Client Webhelper are the steam files.

Also - you should run all of the installers and the game files as an administrator. If you are on Win8/Win10, you may need to run SH5 in Win7 compatibility mode.

You right-click on the files, and select "Run as Administrator" when installing SH5, U-Play, and TWoS. Once everything is installed, right-click on the SH5.exe file, go to Properties, Compatibility, and click on the Run this Progam as an Administrator box. You can also select Win7 compatibility mode from there as well.

[PongoDeMer]

Success!

What I finally ended up doing was a complete uninstall, including any left over files. I then uninstalled my Norton, reinstalled the game, installed the latest Uplay, re-set the video config, enabled "override high DPI scaling behaviour in the .exe file, ran the game to get the save folder, installed WoS, patched it to the 2.2.17, and finally... FINALLY, it worked.

Thanks to everyone on the Subsim forums for their help. I really hope nobody else has the same difficulty I had. However, if anyone does, I will be more than prepared to help.

Time for a well-earned gin.

I posted this on another thread yesterday.

I got TWOS up and running last night, though first when updating the steam install the box read 'There is an issue with reg key' and upon installing the Generic Patch Installer there were a bunch of warning boxes with various 'File not found!' messages. I clicked on all of these ('OK') and it cycled through each one. At the end of it the JSGME was there and I CAN use the mods therein.

Darkwraith's patcher didn't seem to install, though the icon's on my desktop. I set it up manually, directing it to the correct files. It seems to work.

Anyway....the game played just fine as far as I could tell.

So today, I decided to do a fresh install. I followed instructions - uninstalled everything, fresh DL from Steam (I'm on Steam DL and playing on /uplay). I ran the TWOS installer and this went just fine this time with no warning boxes etc, plus Darkwraith's patcher installed.

However...When I launched the game at first it said there was no SH5 exe. I had one copied elsewhere, put it in SH5 folder and when I tried to start a new career it CTD'd.

Any ideas on what's going on?

I've spent hours today and have done about 5 new installs. Same deal until the last one did the same thing as the one last night with warnings etc but it plays.


??????????

I have Norton and I see others have had problems with it.

The upshot is, as far as I'm aware TWOS is running ok. I'm worried that I'm missing out on some goodies. There seems to be less in the way of subtle shaders and such in the visuals. TWOS runs much smoother than vanilla SH5. I notice that if I set options to high res sea, it doesn't prompt me to restart the game. Is this normal? Am I missing out on high resolution in TWOS?

After getting fileoption tool to work, I get a bug where when I load a game I'm in a 'camera out of bounds' black screen. If I teleport to periscope it clears. I've also had a loading thing where I'm on the bridge and the sub is submerged and I'm underwater. Is this related to file editor?


Thanks.

[GrenSo]

For a test I deleted my savegames yesterday and started a new campaign. I was a little bit surprised that I was able to equip my VIIB with the 2nd conning tower VIIB/2 for free before I start the 1st mission "Polish Taskforce". All other possible equipments like torpedos, deckgun, sonar an so on are normal for this mission and date in 1939.

Is this a bug or a possible conflict with active addons?
I wich file are the dates of the equipment stored? So I can check if one of my active addons can be the reason for it.
With my old savegames, I restored after the test, works everthing fine. But I do not start there a new campaign until now.

I have to mention that I set up my new PC last week and just connect my SSD with all installed games from my old PC. I had to reinstall SH5 again, like some other games, because some registry entries were missing on Windows 10 to run the game. Before I done a backup from the whole SH5 folder. After installation from SH5 I installed last patch v1.2 like before. Than I test if I can start and play SH5 without any mod. This works fine.
I did not reinstall TWoS and other mods afterwards and I just copied the whole SH5 forder from the previous/old installation 1:1 in the new folder and SH5 works without problems too and with my old savegames and old active mods again.

[Jojojung]

Hey guys,


i have a problem with my mouse at "free look mode" (mouse right klick).
As I click right on the mouse the avatar is continuetly looking up and you have to pull with the mouse against it. If you look with binoculars at the bridge the screen stands still as normal.

A restart of the game does not fix it.
Any ideas to fix this?`
Thanks!

I am seeing way to many trawlers, I see more trawlers then merchants, and the trawlers behave like actual merchants. For example I saw in harbor 5 trawlers, some German some foreign countries. And I also encounter some trawlers in open see at a decent range from the coast. Anyone knows how to fix this?

I think Vecko is already working on that.

There were a few problems I encountered that annoyed me very much.
So, after I completed North Western Approaches, I get the screen that would usually be displayed after you quit to menu or quit the game. Y'know, the missions, tonnage sunk, status etc? I was like, "This is strange" and I click next and the screen pops up that would usually resemble the end of a campaign chapter, a color U-boat photo with some text off to the side.

I felt like I had completed the campaign chapter way to quickly. So I reloaded and reloaded the game only to get the same results.

Any way to fix this?

TWoS campaign chapters are date controlled. They can not be ended "way to quickly"...

Hello

I got some problem with sound.
Game is working without any problem most of the sounds are working too.
Just when i'm changing(static/magnetize)/firing torpedoes. I don't hear them speaking in German

[NeonsStyle]

I have a really annoying problem with mouse. After loading
my save (brand new campaign, saved, exited to main menu, reloaded);
and after a while, I can't move the map any more. If I ignore it, eventually
I can't use mouse 1 anymore. If I'm in mouse view, then I can't get out of
it. Only way to fix it, is to save, exit to main menu and reload about every 10 to 15 minutes. This is my 3rd attempt to play a campaign with WoS, and so far
I have yet to fire a shot in 6 weeks of playing.

I am about ready to bin WoS! Which sucks cause I really wanted the Manual TDC. :(

Looks like problem caused by incompatible and outdated mods. JSGME screenshot?

No idea, sorry. I don't think that problem is part of normally installed TWoS. Did you mess up before with some old crew abilities mods, in your current installation?

[Texas Red]

No, I don't think so. What is more strange is the fact that the dialogue box is fine in a single mission, but messed up in a campaign. :hmmm:

EDIT: Maybe the restore captain's icon thingy messed it up?

Does anyone knows what to do if you encounter too many trawlers? I am in coastal waters/first campaign at the moment and encounter way to many of them, some move in a way merchants (3 in a row lets say)

Hello,

I was playing in the Happy Times campaign when the automatic campaign transfer came up. When it came up to ask me what campaign I wished to switch to I decided to type 'silentotto' which I'm guessing messed up the game. I decided to reload the save I was at but now each time I play it fails to initialize. JSGME and everything are correctly installed so would I have to manually do the campaign transfer or is there some way to get the automatic transfer to work.

Yes...Activate campaign advance verifier addon and load some older gamesave. Also, follow instructional campaign transfer radio messages and the transfer will be probably initiated when it's time...

[WildBlueYonder]

I've just reinstalled the game from Uplay on my recently formatted PC, so everything is clean. I followed all the instructions, including the workaround for Uplay with the various options disabled, including cloud synch, the game loads with no issues, however when I want to create a new campaign I get the "The internet connection experiences problems, and the current game session was saved. Please wait until the Internet connection is restored or press OK button to return to the main menu" error. I don't have the Campaign advancement verifier activated. Game is installed in a separate folder in C:, Uplay is installed in Programs (x86).


What could it be?

[kapuhy]

Does anyone knows what to do if you encounter too many trawlers?

BdU is confident that you can solve the problem of too many enemy ships of any kind by being more aggressive.

I had this issue once in past but it happend not anymore. In my situation solved a reload of the savegame this issue.

[Texas Red]

It just fixed itself after I came back from a real-life vacation and went to play SH5 and the problem was fixed. I had advanced into the second campaign chapter available, Happy Times, so maybe that fixed it.

1. Operating System, System spec?

windows 10

2. Version of the game ? (DVD, Uplay download, Steam, other ?)

Uplay when game loads says version 1.2.0

3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems.

Game runs vanilla no problems

4. If you use any non-TWoS custom mods, remove them, reinstall your game/TWoS completely according to install instruction, start new campaign and make sure that the issue still persist!

Done

5. Confirm that the Generic Patcher is correctly activated and the snapshot is successfully restored (Install instructions, step 2).

This is where my issue lies even without adding further mods I get a notification saying;
D:/Silent Hunter\sh5.exe is different version than expected!

Patch:
Independent engine controls
Change 2
Reason: Bytes read does not equal bytes expected by patch
Bytes expected: C3CCCCCCCCC3CCCCCCCCC

And this was noticed after second attempt of reinstalling (from fresh) the first time I missed it and loaded the game loaded to main menu but when loading the campaign it CTD.
I have closed play during install and also closed down my AV to make sure they didn't cause issues and everything was also ran as admin.

Not too worried about this issue,
"Other issue is I couldn't use the KSDC commander as play would pop up asking for a key and even when loading in the key it says its in use"

Any help would be great thanks.

Hi CaptainNige. I can see that you didn't take a look into TWoS install instructions. Check them out and reinstall the game+mod. You need sh5.exe replacement for Uplay digital download version. https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4861

I'm currently in the Mare Nostrum Campaign and it has just turned to May 1941. I've just intercepted a convoy and it shows American ships as hostile. My question is if this is intentional even though you aren't supposed to be sinking American ships so they'll maintain neutrality.

I have windows 10 and my SH5 version is the steam version. It is also updated to the 1.2.0 update.

According to DefSide.cfg file USA are considered enemy since 10.4.1941 (date of first American warship attack against an U-Boat in Atlantic).

Even before this, American ships sailing in Allied convoy in March-April 1941 can be considered an enemy (this is handled by the game through a fake "FreeAmerican" faction that uses American flag but is part of Allied forces)

I had just recently updated my TWoS game version to 2.2.19 and I resume my campaign, only for it to CTD every time. It just hangs around on a black screen for a while before it crashes.

The museum works fine, just the campaign isn't working.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

[fitzcarraldo]

TheBeast:

Do you deactivate your added mods before applying update 2.2.19?

You need to deactivate first ALL your mods in JSGME.

Then apply 2.2.19 update.

And then, reactivate your mods.

I made it this morning, with a similar list of mods as yours, and all is working fine.

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

[Texas Red]

Yes, I did deactivate all of my mods. Do I need to do a complete reinstall?

[fitzcarraldo]

Yes, I did deactivate all of my mods. Do I need to do a complete reinstall?

I didn't need it. Try deactivating all your mods and rerun the update installer. Do you use the Stormy mod with TheBerbster instructions for TWoS? The Stormy mod in "pure form" isn't compatible with TWoS.

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

I will rerun the installer. And no, I do not use the Stormy DBSM mod with THBERBSTERS instructions. Could you possibly give me the link?

EDIT: I reran the updater and I made the Stormy DBSM mod compatible and it still crashes.
I will try another save game and see if the most recent one is corrupted or something.

EDIT #2: Nope, did not work. I made some changes in the OFEV, so maybe that is what is causing the crashes. I enabled the Snorkel on the VIIC and the VIIC/41. Will revert back to the original and try again.

[Texas Red]

I think it was the things that I changed in the OFEV that messed it up. It's all fixed now.

Thanks for the help!

Fitzcarraldo, a very good fashion list

[Demon777]

Just to report a small and (I guess) very well-known bug with smoke puffs in water. In most situations, it appears in certain proximity of a ship.
These smoke puffs are different in size, and can sometimes be faced even in SH5 Museum.

I have gap's SH5 EcoMod installed over TWOS 2.2.19, but hardly beleive his mod is somehow affecting this...

https://c.radikal.ru/c04/2006/28/4eac1cdd2daf.jpg (https://radikal.ru)

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

I don´t know if these are the issues you could have:

Do not put Dyn Environment mod (TWoS has his own tweaked version of Dyn Environment).

The order of your Gap's EcoMod is wrong.

If you use the Food mod you could have problems if you use External Cameras.

Hi Fitzcarraldo I test your soup of mods could you give me details on "Cameras without flicks" I love your soup I am never disappointed ... is it necessary to deactivate the camera while waiting for your precision ... because I know that "TWoS SM Interior_Food Stocks" poses problems thanks to you ...:up:

[NiceSub]

Hello there,
I am having the bug as per below:
1. Operating System, System spec?
Windows 10 x64 1909, system ROG G712LWS
2. Version of the game ? (DVD, Uplay download, Steam, other ?)
DVD
3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems.
Fully updated stock game

4. If you use any non-TWoS custom mods, remove them, reinstall your game/TWoS completely according to install instruction, start new campaign and make sure that the issue still persist!
I dont use anything outside TWOS package, however I did reinstall few times already

5. Confirm that the Generic Patcher is correctly activated and the snapshot is successfully restored (Install instructions, step 2).
AFAIK, yes and see screenshots:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/aSSRAX5oUYC3rEse6

6. Provide a screenshot of your main Silent Hunter 5 installation folder and it's content!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/aSSRAX5oUYC3rEse6
7. JSGME screenshot!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/aSSRAX5oUYC3rEse6
8. Make sure to provide as much details as possible when describing situation where problem/bug/CTD can be observed. What should we do in order to reproduce this issue?
I played this game before with this mod so I know what to expect but I admin I did not play this one in a year or so.

Anyway, I am doing training mission where I have merchant coming from east going to west and I am the boat will have nice 90deg firing solution.

Now whenever I use the stadimeter either via TDC dials or officer window and I take measure the distance to target that get set in TDC but all previous values that I may have entered such as speed and AOB get reset. This is very annoying especially when target is closer and you are doing final TDC update and then you find yourself you have to re-enter everything.

Quite annoying bug and I dont recall having this issues year ago. Is this new bug? I reinstalled everything and still I find the same issue.

I understand the range is not that important for firing solution especially if gyro is 0 but there will be cases where gyro will not be 0 and I will need range working.

I did some more testing around this and discovered the following:

After I input range I see the message in the message box that my navigator is trying to compute a firing solution. The input of range triggers that action.

once that happens if I go to my officer command and press button reset firing solution it restores all of my data keeping the range input as well.

9. Upload several screenshots and gamesaves on which problem can be observed.
I dont have any savegame as I did this in TDW Torpedo attack under historical missions. As for the screenshots nothing really to show other then TDC having AOB 0 and speed 0 when I set the range using stadimeter. The AOB and speed get back and range measurement is retained if I go to my officer and click reset solution button.

Hi NiceSub,

First of all, this is the example of a good report. I was able to quickly determent that nothing is wrong with game/mod installation which means that the problem must be in the procedure it self. :up::yep:

Regarding your problem, I think you're dong it wrong.
Make sure that your manual TDC input is off (red, like on the picture) while taking range measurements with stadimeter. Use manual input only to enter speed and AoB and then disable it again. :yep:

[NiceSub]

Hi Vecko,

I tried it again and you are right. user error is the problem.
I discovered when I unlock TDC to make this happens:
I input AOB
I input speed
Now when I take range the AOB and speed get reset BUT when I lock TDC to make that button green all my inputs return so nothing is really lost.

Oh thnx for praising my report. :)

[Bassel]

so, my game has been running fine with the mod for about a week now and i had almost no issues, but now when i load into any of my save files the game ui does, well... everything.
3358
including apparently some things i never even heard about until today like on the right hand side you see the icon for voice input


the only mod i am running on my steam version of the game (Win 10 x64) is wolves of steel and it worked like a charm for several days before this.


Anyhow the real issue that i am facing is that nothing is clickable, except for the sextant window, which can be dragged but not closed or otherwise interacted with. which is not all that surprising considering that i am at 39m depth in wilhelmshafen yet my submarine is floating at the dock normally, so its clearly just visual. (although most icons can be highlighted, but not clicked)

Beyond that there is a bunch of icons that i have never seen before like all the icons on the bottom left, which i think i remember from the good old days of working versions of the game (SH 2, SH 3, SH 4). Or the previously mentioned voice command icon, which i belive is a mod and if so its one i never downloaded, installed, activated or used.
I am not quite sure, what event may have triggered this, as i made no changes to my system or the game since starting the campaign and it worked fine so far through several restarts.

[Texas Red]

This usually occurs when TDWDraggables.dll is deleted. Can you please check your SH5 directory for TDWDraggables.dll?

Your SH5 directory should be installed in Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 5/ or in my case, Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/games/Silent Hunter 5.

[Bassel]

nupe sorry, that one is still in there. Although just the name sounds so suspicious for this issue that the file being corrupted shouldnt be ruled out.

And considering that, ill throw out there that i havent moved the game or really interacted with the folder in any way since installing the game and checking the boxes on "high dpi scaling" and "run as admin" on the sh5.exe
Is there any way to get a fresh dll without reinstalling the game? because my inner scientist just got triggered


Edit: I renamed my silent hunter folder to trigger steam to redownload the game and did a fresh instal of the mod, it worked, then i replaced the fresh dragables.dll in the new folder with the old one and it still works, so whatever it was, it wasnt an issue with the dragables.dll
i still have the old installation incase i need to do more science though ;)

I just completed the "Distant Waters" campaign chapter and I am trying to progress to the "Monsun Gruppe" campaign. I did what the instructions in the "Manual Campaign Progression" told me to. I made a manual save game in the bunker, I restarted the game and made a new campaign and used silentotto to go into the Monsun Gruppe campaign. I made another manual save game in the bunker and I exited the game. I copied the 4 files in the save game folder to my "Last DW Save" and then I edited the CareerTrack.upc to match the "Monsun Gruppe" flotilla changes.

Ok so now we get to my problem.

I try to load my "Last DW Save" but it crashes. I tried reloading a different save and it worked, I assumed my problem was that the savegame was corrupt. So I repeated the steps I did from the first paragraph and I tried reloading the second "Last DW Save" and it crashed, again. I'm not sure what could make my savegame corrupt a second time. Maybe a lot of units in the harbor?

Any help would be appreciated. :salute:

Hi :) so I have the following problem with the TWoS.

1. Operating System: Win 10.
2. DVD.
3. Game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and the vanilla game works without problems (also I followed instructions from this: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2568508&postcount=453). Also before I was playing the game with other mods loaded manually via JSGM and game was just fine.

The game is installed outside the Program files folder; it's just C:Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 5

4. no other mods

5. the Generic Patcher is correctly activated and the snapshot is successfully restored; I don't know if that makes a big difference but I had to select separately a path to every file (patch);

6. But the main problem is with the game after loading screen, because after several re-installations I always end up with this (pic) or just the CTD.

[Aktungbby]

PatKos17!:Kaleun_Salute:

[Propnut17]

When you have done several re-installations I would suggest running the CCleaner application to remove any parts of your SH5 after you have uninstalled it. Remember to select the Registry cleaning side of the program as well as deleting the SH5 directory you will find under "My Documents". You will also have to manually delete your UBISOFT directory and all that hangs off it.

Only after a computer re-boot can you sit down and do a complete re-installation of SH5. Any attempt of any Mods should be done only after running the vanilla SH5 to see that all is working. Now you can load the official upgrade to Version 1.2.0 and any further Mods like TWoS. Good luck.

I made a screenshots of JSGM and folder with the game.

I'd say that you have a problems with your administration rights, drive write protection or something similar. You are missing whole bunch dragables.TDW files in your main game folder which game should create automatically. Try to reinstall the game but this time use D partition and full administration rights...

[Kraft]

1. Win 10 64bit, i5 6600k, 16GB Ram, RX480 8GB Vram
2. Uplay SH5 1.2 with WoS v2.2.19_Full (I replaced the Uplay .exe with the disk one as told by the instructions)
3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems. I confirmed.
4. I have no non-TWoS mods.
5. I did install instruction step 2.

I also saved then reloaded from menu after the campaign put me in the bunker.
During install and every game launch I use admin rights.

I hope you can help me I've spent well over 2-3 days trying to get this game to work but to no avail so far.


8. My Problems:

! 1. The binoculars (Keyboard: B) stop working, ie they don't show up anymore when I press the button. The last time this happened it was after diving and coming back up, I do not know if that's important. This happens to me after about 30min/1hour of actual game time in the first mission. Binocs work perfectly up until the point where they don't show up anymore... my Kapitän probably lost them to the waves or something.. very annoying as I do not like to use the UZO.

! 2. Speaking of, my UZO often jumps from (x6?)magnification no zoom level and it takes a lot of agressive back and forth scrolling to get it back to its normal magnification, which is very annoying when trying to time stuff! Is there a way to stop this from happening??
The same problem persists with the periscopes which is also very annoying when trying to use the stadimeter(?) because it happenes atleast once that my zoom gets stuck in a back and forth with me scrolling against whatever the game is trying to do to put me back to no zoom. This makes engaging the destroyers in the first mission a complete nightmare due to their speed.

! 3. Probably my biggest grievance.. my ability to switch to my mouse cursor to select stuff, like the identication book, the officers, speed, heading and dive commands etc just disappears. I have to leave the scope and get back on it or open the map, close it again to get the ability back to switch to my mouse. The usual right click just does nothing at after some point and I do not know what causes it because it works other times. This also happenes when not looking through scopes etc but far far less often and it's not a big problem then because I do not lose track of something or miss my clock by opening and closing the map real quick.
This means getting data and putting it into the tdc is hardly doable without alteast 3-4 times going out and back into the scope to fix my mouse.

! 4. Something that also happens but that's fairly minor as I have a workaround is that I cannot go through the "horizontal hatches" in the uboat about 1/5 times, the vertical ones work fine.
The view "crouches down" as if it's working but I just look at the hatch opening and can't get through. Workaround that I have found that fixes it for some time: close and open hatch, after that going through it works again.


Reloading a save does not fix anything.

I have completely wiped the game several times and reinstalled but the bug(s) appear everytime and happen so often that it's fairly hard to enjoy the game when I have to fight it everytime I want to do something.

[petecaler]

So I was in the second happy time portion of the campaign finishing up tanker alley in late August 1942. All of a sudden I can no longer view received radio messages in fact if I click on the icon to bring up the messages window nothing happens at all. I backtracked to my earliest save (wasn't to far back as I don't let them build up but it was before the issue occurred) and still have the same issue. I only use the mods in the WoS download so I know it cant be a mod issue. Only other thing that may have caused it is before it happened I used the phonograph and radio options for the first time in game round to test out a new set of headphones. I did wrap up the happy times campaign with no radio (just sent reports every few days, that worked) to advance and see if that would reset it to no avail. Anybody have any ideas on what my fix may be? Thanks.

Hi petecaler :salute:


Do you alt-tab occasionally active game? Upload one gamesave in which problem can be observed...:yep:
What's going on in historical missions?

[petecaler]

Hi vdr, :salute:

I tried twice loading a historical test game (first time, I've always played campaigns) and it crashed to desktop both times. I never alt tab, I do a full restart before every session with nothing running in the background. I usually save every couple of game days, submerged with no ships around. Also I TC up to 256 only. I don't quite know where the save file can be found and what file type they are. Thanks for any advice you can give me!

This can happen sometimes but from what I know it's no way near your experience. In my case, one mouse scroll solves the problem almost every time...

These two problems are unknown to me and I never encountered them. You should be aware that binoculars can not be used while on "deck awash" due to engine limitations...

vdr, :)

Did a complete install and reinstall following your set up notes to the letter as I have always done because you've been spot on on how to successfully mod the game. (ubiplay was a pain to get around). It really surprised me that the radio icon is still unresponsive in both the campaign and historical missions which both load pretty quickly with no issues. Do you think it may be a registry issue? Im just flummoxed at this point.

Yes the mouse scroll thing seems to be a driver/hardware thing, it happens a lot more on my laptop than on my pc.

Hi Vecko,

I have this little recurring problem that persists through several reinstallations of TWoS on two different computers (so probably not specific computer related): damage decals painted by VisualDamage controller do not appear in my game. GR2 damage decals work fine.

Both laptops I installed TWoS on are on Windows 7, haven't tried on other systems, so might be Win7 related for all I know, or NVIDIA related (GT630M and GT330M on these laptops), or some mistake I keep doing during installation perhaps? Other than that, everything seems to work fine but no matter how many times I reinstall I just can't get these .dat damage decals.

You mean torpedo/gun shells holes? I see them occasionally on imported .dat ships but quite rarely. Not sure is this due to ship type or something else. :hmmm: IIRC, NC_Waziristan will show visible hull damage. If I stumble up on some more I'll let you know so you can then compare the files if you like...:yep:

My issue is that my watch crew doesn't inform me of spotting an aircrat or a ship until it is too late. My sub is blown to pieces. All I hear is the sound of a shell pierecing my hull and my crew screaming that my components are destroyed.

[petecaler]

vdr, :)

Did a complete install and reinstall following your set up notes to the letter as I have always done because you've been spot on on how to successfully mod the game. (ubiplay was a pain to get around). It really surprised me that the radio icon is still unresponsive in both the campaign and historical missions which both load pretty quickly with no issues. Do you think it may be a registry issue? Im just flummoxed at this point.

Ive spent the last week trying to fix this, I think at this point the the game is not recoverable at this point and I will just have to wait for the next mod version to see if it sorts itself out as a full reinstall does not fix the issue.

[kapuhy]

I never had them. I didn't even realize they were supposed to show up until I watched some Let's Play videos from others on Youtube and they did have those decals working.

Hmm... just fired a salvo of four torpedoes at NC_Waziristan today, three impacts, no holes. Weird.

I also placed today few fishes in Waziristan and nothing...Maybe it was some other unit but I'm not entirely sure.


Anyway, I really don't think that something is wrong with your installation (at least you know what you're doing ;)). Those holes don't even appear every time on regular and stock gr2 ships as well. I'll investigate this further after the next update...:yep:

Hello there,

I am having the bug as per below:
1. Operating System, System spec?
Windows 10 x64 1909, system ROG G712LWS
2. Version of the game ? (DVD, Uplay download, Steam, other ?)
DVD
3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems.
Fully updated stock game

4. If you use any non-TWoS custom mods, remove them, reinstall your game/TWoS completely according to install instruction, start new campaign and make sure that the issue still persist!
I dont use anything outside TWOS package.

5. Confirm that the Generic Patcher is correctly activated and the snapshot is successfully restored (Install instructions, step 2).
AFAIK, yes and it was not modified since my last bug report

6. Provide a screenshot of your main Silent Hunter 5 installation folder and it's content!
not modified since my last bug report.
7. JSGME screenshot!
not modified sicne my last bug report.
8. Make sure to provide as much details as possible when describing situation where problem/bug/CTD can be observed. What should we do in order to reproduce this issue?

I am at early stages of the war and I am yet to run into some major convoy and drama but when I find a mini convoy (2 merchants sailing together).
The issue occurs when I used UZO or scope to lock and follow targets. Here is how the bug occurs:
step1: lock and follow target 1. ID the target and release follow of the target 1.
step2: lock and follow target 2. ID the target and release follow.
Step3: go back to target 1 and press lock and follow. Now instead of game following target 1 the scope switches to target 2 and follows that one. I am unable to follow target 1 no matter what in this instance and it does not matter how many times I press SPACE to lock the target 1.


9. Upload several screenshots and gamesaves on which problem can be observed.
No screenshots to be provided as the problem is difficult to demonstrate by screenshot.

Hehe, I know that annoyance but it's a game problem which can not be addressed by the megamod.

What I do in these situations is to keep pressing repeatedly (like crazy actually :)) "space" on target 2 until the game "unlocks" it or to simply track targets manually with my periscope, which is actually more realistic after all...:yep:

[NiceSub]

Oh OK. Thank you for confirming, I just wanted to make sure that it's not some mod bug or user error.

Anyway, thnx for this mod. Having loads of fun and I see effort put in.

One thing that I really would like to see is some das boot sound effects and such. I know they were mods made for that in the past but not sure if those things can be integrated here. They would really improve ambiance.
Anyway, thnx for this mega mod.

I just updated the mod to version 2.2.20 yesterday and the game worked without problems. My last and most recent save game was when I was on the surface, and I was heading back to base, after sinking 40,000+ tons from a convoy. It was getting late so I saved the game and went to bed. Today, I tried to play my most recent save game, the game would load to the main menu, and I would load my save game, it would get to the black screen and the music would quit for a second, but then the game would CTD. I thought the save game was corrupted, so I reloaded another save game, but that crashed in the same exact manner as well.
I will upload the problematic save game incase you need to take a look.
Here it is:

I have no idea what I would cause it to work one day and make it stop the next day.

Should I mention that this link is taken from included TWoS documentation, "Solving issues" section to be exact? :hmm2:

Probably your mod list is causing the problems. Remove those water drips. It's a mod from 2010 and it's overwriting very sensitive submarine sim files...How did you came to the conclusion that it is compatible with TWoS after all? :hmm2:

I use Roboots's Water Drips 1.1 too but I did not start SH5 after Update TWoS from v2.2.19 to v2.2.20. I can have a try at the weekend and can tell if I get CTD with this addons too.
With older versions of TWoS I had not any issues with Roboots's Water Drips 1.1.

I have installed stock SH5 from Uplay. v.120 in upper-right-hand corner when I launch the stock game. Stock game launches fine.


Exited game, ran TWOS 2.2.20 installer.


Installer finished with no issues.


When I launch the game from inside Uplay, I get the splash screen with spinning wait cursor, and it has sat as long as 2 hours and nothing happens.


https://i.imgur.com/cDrA2cGl.png



I have installed to c:\Uplay\Games\Silent Hunter 5\


I have gone to compatibility settings on the sh5.exe and set it to run as admin and override DPI settings by Application.


https://i.imgur.com/U0TvOzYm.png



If I try to launch from the SH5.exe directly, Uplay asks me to go online, and when I do, it asks for an access code.

I had this issue before, originally it was the issue where my game would CTD if I tried to do a campaign or continue one or even do anything playable like the Museum or a Single mission. That took me 2 months to find a fix, then I had to deal with the BS you are experinicing with Uplay. That took me another month to fix. Then I finally got the game into a playable state but then I had another month of issues with my own custom modlist before I switched to TWoS and I haven't had a major issue since.

I believe you can view your product key even if it is a download by clicking on your profile picture while you are ONLINE and if you click "Account Information" and then you click "My games" you can find a list of your games and you should be able to click "Show Key" on Silent Hunter 5.

[maillemaker]

Yes, I have just discovered how to "view key" in Uplay. I am about to try that.


I have just done a complete uninstall of SH5 and Uplay, and re-installed.


The stock game now works, as before.


It is 1.2.0


https://i.imgur.com/sDomyjR.png


Steve

[maillemaker]

OK, I have it working.


I believe the missing piece was, first, I ran the TWOS installer as administrator. That might have been part of it, but also, the PDF of the installation instructions here:


https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=236598


does not match the installation instructions included with the modpack.


Critically, it does not tell you that you have to replace the Uplay/Steam sh5.exe with the DVD version (link to it on mediafire is included in the modpack installation instructions).


I did that, and now it seems to work. The game ran, I was able to save a game, and now I'm going to go open it and see if I can play.

Just a quick update re this issue:

I made some more tests and this time I had holes appear on two imported ships (Zinbu and Akita), so I think it might have been a false alarm on my part (sorry :oops:) - as you've said these holes don't always appear so I might have simply been unlucky before.

Hello Guys.

I had just install the game after a few years and TWOS last version (2.2.20). I just tried to run a historic mision before the first carreer. Indeed I dont init any carreer yet. To my surprise after playing during two or three hours I get CTD when I press F2 to see exterior view, in that moment I was in the map calculating the AOB to the target. I don't know why..... Please if someone could help. Thanks :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

[Herr Kaleun Suhren]

Hello Again.

The previous comment was playing an historical mission. Playing another historical mission I had another CTD and the same problem: It just was typing F2. In that moment I was into the periscope room.
I wanted to play before begin a new campaign to see the performance of the game with the new TWOS 2.2.20.
However, I have not waited any longer and I have decided to start a new campaign. The result is as follows:
I have saved the game in the bunker and closed the game. Then I reopened the game reading the saved game and started. The operation has been correct but so far I have encountered two problems, I don't know if they will be bugs:
1.- The XO executive officer displays the dialog box but does not let me enter the speed, distance, bearing and AOB data in order to prepare the torpedo fire.
2.- Upon entering Danzig bay, the harbor defenses detected the observation periscope. Destroying it produces another failure. If you accidentally press on the observation periscope, the scroll keys (A, D, W and S) are locked, preventing the player from leaving the observation periscope room, thus blocking the game.
I inform you of all this so that the developers can verify it and check if there is any fault.
Greetings. :Kaleun_Salute:

Are you sure you've installed TWoS according to install instructions? Step 2 and everything?

What was the mission in question?

If you accidentally press on the observation periscope, the scroll keys (A, D, W and S) are locked, preventing the player from leaving the observation periscope room, thus blocking the game.
Why don't you use teleport function then, or Shift+U to unstuck?

These functions work just fine in properly installed TWoS...:yep:

Hi guys,

I just came back to SH5. Unfortunately my game crashes as soon as I start a campaign. Clicking on start campaign lets me see the loading screen for 3 seconds and then I am back at the desktop.

1. I installed SH5
2. I launched SH5, exited.
3. Replaced the SH5.exe with the one in the pdf.
4. installed TWoS
5. Applied the patches

Did I miss something?

BR

[Texas Red]

You should finish the installation first AND THEN replace the .exe.

SO

1.Install TWoS
2. Install optional Mods
3. Replace SH5.exe
4. Have fun!

from TWOS Manual:


If you own Uplay download version of the game, you'll have to perform manual sh5.exe replacement before you proceed to TWoS installation

deleting everything. The previous version of TWOS worked perfectly
I have the UPLAY version and have installed everything according to the instructions.
(I have done it many times before with no problems).
Now, once the campaign has started (saved in the bunker at the beginning)
when I want to save the game I have CTD (crash to Desktop).

I have also noticed that it does not allow me to delete previously recorded games from the record screen,
it says "Delete file failed".
Please any help? I need to breath fresh sea air again !! :wah:

you may try to delete all SH5-related files in Windows (C/Windows/regedit), maybe something was left there, and prevents the correct TWOS usage...

Hi, please tell me if this is the wrong place.
I'm enjoying Real Nav with TWoS but it seems like when I request a celestial fix my navigator just waits a bit before giving me a weather update, am I doing something wrong?

Dead Reckoning works but obviously I'd like to be more precise.

That's normal. Navigator needs some time to calculate celestial fix. This can be adjusted in options file editor...:yep:

Thanks for the reply, will have another look. Didn't see any markers after a few minutes but will pay more attention!

It can take up to an hour...

[Herr Kaleun Suhren]

You should finish the installation first AND THEN replace the .exe.

SO

1.Install TWoS
2. Install optional Mods
3. Replace SH5.exe
4. Have fun!






Hi The Beast
Which is the correct order to install Optionals mods? JSGME shows the optionals mods in alphabetic order......
Thanks :Kaleun_Salute:

[Demon777]

Hi captains!


I don't know whether it is a bug or glitch, but noticed there's no bow wake of Z Ship in TWOS. Any suggestions how to add it?
p.s. ship's name in SilentHunter5/data/sea: NLGH

Light ship is always static in the campaign so she doesn't really need any kind of bow wake IMO...

Ahoy kapitans I'm not sure if this is a bug or something but since I woke up and played this morning, pressing the E button only showed the recognition manual. It doesn't show the other box where I can select charts. Though im pretty sure i know where I put it last night. And i never changed anything. Any ideas?

[Salvadoreno]

My nautical grid chart disappeared :(. I have been using it a lot during my current patrol and finally caught a small convoy with it, but now its no longer there when I click the option. Any idea how to bring the nautical box back?

edit: Every other window comes up when prompted, and i searched around my screen and do not see the nautical chart hiding anywhere.

Yes or in other words, I do not have any issue with SH5 with TWoS on Win10 20H2 Build 19042.661.

Would it be possible to include the MD5 / SHA256 in the description of the download? Not foolproof, but decent protection to check you've got a legit file. Thanks!

Ran into a weird crash.

Sunk a steam troopship.

The first CTD was when it was blowing up and seemed to be going down..

2nd CTD was when i checked the hydros to verify its sinking.

3rd is when i click the captains log to verify if it registered (each time my WEPS office did not say it was sinking)

Saved a bit later after hitting the troopship and didnt touch anything but my map hotkey and my dive icons. No CTD. But no registering the ship was hit. Clicked the captains log and CTD again.

Basically seems like it gets overwhelmed when trying to register it sunk a troopship in my patrol zone as the objective?

Any way around it? I sunk a troopship earlier in this save too so its a great start for me, really dont want to lose it.

::edit::

Looks like i lost that campaign unless i start over again. I saved when in contact with a ship so I am sure that was the problem.

::double edit::

I was a French ship apparently, Friendly. Ack!

I'm afraid that if you don't have gamesave prior your friendly sinking your campaign is now effectively over...:yep: Be more careful next time. :salute:

I am wondering whether this a stock-game bug or the side effect of some mod? I seem to remember that New UIs or some other mod by TDW had something to do with it, but I am not 100% sure about that :hmmm:

[Newinger]

I don't know if this is known, but I noticed that the text labels on the electrical engine in the interior are wrong. The labels seem to be related to Torpedo attacks, not anything engine related.

Same here, but IIRC modders decided to keep that unexpected "feature" probably because in the stock game there weren't any penalties at all for friendly kills...:hmmm:

Hello!

I'm sorry for bothering you, I wish to ask, is teleporting to somewhere then leaving it unsafe?
Like in this video (I ended up in the water below the submarine upon leaving the observation periscope)?

It happens after 11:20 in the video - used official installer from mediafire: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dpdi1uczn1ycn/TWoS_v2.2 , version 2.2.20, installer has been uploaded on 2020.11.28.
:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-E8T5QkhTA&feature=youtu.be&t=680
Or do you think it happens because I use other mods too like Dark_Interior_V1 and RUSTED GLORY and EcoMod?

Thank you in advance and thank you for developing TWoS. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up::Kaleun_Applaud::Kaleun_Cheers:C amera glitches are "normal" in SH5 to say so. Stock Shift+U "unstuck" command have been added especially for situations like that...:yep:

Not really IMO since torpedoes are mostly - free. Player technically doesn't need any renown to play campaign normally...


I remember that In SH3/4 if you kill friendly unit your campaign will be ended when you get back to port. This is how it should be...Was it like that in stock SH5, I really wouldn't know...:hmmm:

[Texas Red]

Was it like that in stock SH5, I really wouldn't know...:hmmm:


Actually, in my younger years of playing vanilla SH5, everytime I left Lorient or some other harbor, I would always sink a friendly submarine or vessel just for kicks. I never received any penalty that I can recall of. Though maybe my game crashing every time I pressed "K" for the captains log was a punishment of sorts. :hmmm:

Well, yes and no.

For sure killing a friendly ship shouldn't candidate you for the iron cross, but on uboat.net there are several accounts of this having actually happened. In most cases, the friendly victim had incurred in one or more infractions which had made her a valid target, but there are a few cases where the attack was the result of mere mistake on the U-boat side. IIRC, in those cases the captains were ordered to falsify their log of the "problematic" sinking, and their career continued as if nothing had happened. During WWII, U-bootwaffe captains were too a rare resource for kicking them off due to a blunder, however tragic or embarrassing that was :yep:

As far as the game goes, I think that an heavy renown penalty would be a much fairer and more realistic penalty than... a shortcut to the desktop and possible career end lol. IIRC in some cfg file there are renown multipliers for the killing of enemy, neutral and friendly units but, since we don't know what makes the game to crash when neutral or friendly ships are sunk, my remarks here are purely speculative... :doh:

Well I know what would I want to make, something like friendly kill - a warning, second - another warning and third kill- court martial and the end of career. :yep: Unfortunately, as far as I know this is not possible in SH5.:wah:

Oh, that would be very nice indeed, but I am afraid that it places us in the field of daydreaming. The maximum I can imagine - and I am not even sure that it can be done - is narrowing down the "friendly sinking ctd" bug and trying to fix it.

After the removal of tonnage requirements, TWoS campaign is heavily based on renown. Indeed, deck gun shells and the most basic torpedo types don't cost any renown. That's fair, as there would be no point in sending a toothless steel wolf out in the ocean. Nonetheless, the most advanced equipment is not cheap and, IIRC, even the assignment of new U-boat commands is based in part on the renown of each captain. Loosing a conspicuous part of their hard earned renown, thus being condemned not to use the newest technology advancements for a long while, would be an harsh enough punishment for our inattentive comrades to induce them not to repeat twice the same mistake :salute:

I recently attacked a small convoy of two destroyers, a tanker, and a troopship, all travelling at 14 knots in March-April 1941. I sank the troopship, but the destroyers completely ignored me. Is this normal?

TWoS version? I would need a gamesave if possible.

Was it American destroyer? It could be special destroyer from the 'replenishment' category which I created in order to avoid some convoy leader related CTDs. Basically it's a destroyer with merchant AI which will only engage targets with guns if visually detected. They are quite rare though...

Hello,

Been doing manual navigational fixes for my newest patrol started with the new patch. When select to set a nav marker on the map it comes out fine. But when I adjust using the "C" key to move the fix as close as possible to my predicated position, it freezes the game.

Has happened multiple times now, I could just not use the nav markers but I was really hoping to see how close my REalNav skills came to the navigators positions.

side note: I always move the markers in view of other navigational marks.

HI Salvadoreno,
I heard about that problem before but I could never replicate it on my system...What is your game version, Ubisoft connect download? Do you run your game as administrator always?

[Salvadoreno]

Thank you for the reply as always VDR

Running SH5 1.2
TWOS 2.2.21
Encrypted BDU Orfers
Real Nav
SM Interior Food
Wooden Lifeboats
Officer Icons as Stations

Using UBISOFT Connect
Don't run as admin but ill start doing that again.

If i use SH5 Commander, do i have to run that as admin too?

[vdr1981]

Yes, Ubisoft Connect as well. Not sure will it solve the problem for you though...

[Salvadoreno]

May be a long shot, but does the freeze occur when you possibly put the nav marker where your uboat would be shown on the map? Causing some type of error within the coding of the mark and your actual position?

I could be giving myself to much credit with my precise marks:Kaleun_Applaud: but, seems to be anytime i mark my position exactly where i think it is, it freezes.

[Drakken]

I just saved my game around midnight, September 3rd 1939. On my KSD it states that I was transfered to Kiel on September 2nd, but I did not receive any message telling me so.

Is it normal? Or have I an issue with my Campaign transfer?

[Salvadoreno]

I know i am missing this somewhere, even though i've checked the forums over and over again.. But what is the deal with planes never dropping bombs? They just pepper my uboat with MG fire but never drop their visible loadout.

[kapuhy]

Could you specify which planes, and at which date this happens? That, and whether you use any mods besides TWoS at all.

Aircraft generally do drop bombs in my tests, though they sometimes need several passes to aim (if a plane misses its approach to target, it pulls up without dropping bombs).

[Salvadoreno]

I am in 1943.

Dauntless Dive Bomber
And i believe a Whitley British aircraft with the radar antennas on the nose.

I redownloaded TWOS and have been playing for past few weeks, not one airplane has dropped bombs and i have been detected more than a few times.

0 mods besides

TWOS
Real Nav
Wooden Lifeboats
Interior Food Stocks
Encrypted BDU Orders (all of which came from TWoS download)

I tend to dive but i wanted to test the most recent encounter (with the Dauntless).

It passed (had a great 90 degree angle on med) spraying my boat. I manned the flak, watched it come around for another pass, and shot it down and it landed 10m away from my uboat. So i did not get to see if it would drop bombs again.

I'm gonna fire up my save and just watch the planes next time.

Whitley's not in TWoS (that must have been VLR Wellington), but I just tried to test Dauntless and it did drop bombs in second pass. If you can, try to reload the save and see what happens if you don't dive/shoot it down.

I have this little graphic problem. I know there is a fix somewhere in the TWoS thread, but I can´t find it.

The antenna is down and moving...No way to restore it to the normal position.

TWoS 2.2.21, but I have the problem from 2.2.20, in my actual campaign with a VIIC.
