Make sure you're playing a legal copy of the game. This has been reported as what happens when you're not.

Anyone find the electrics just a wee bit too noisy?
 

I'm cruising along at 1 knot (periscope depth), silent running.. and i can barely use the hydrophone.

I've been coming to a complete stop to hear anything.

Yeah, I think so too. Plus, I'm not able to hear the engine when pointing the hydrophones aft.

Moved to the bug thread.

Wasn't sure if it was a bug or a glitch. Sorry for creating a thread for it.

Pariscope, Battle Stations & no deck watch
 

Well, I'm trying to get through the 'training' part of a carrear

I sink the first 3 ships but in route, I am lined up for a great shot at another ship omw to Kiel.. but cant access the pariscope.. so I can't put a fish in it. I've tried everything.. even logged out and waited until tonight and still I can't access it.

When surfaced, the crew stays below.. no deck watch comes up.

I cannot get the crew to battle Stations

Anyone have any help with these please?

I'm kinda stuck here and the documents I have are useless.. they are like "This is the pariscope.. bla bla bla.. use it to aim and fire at ships.." Oh.. gee, I didn't know that.. gads..

So far the game is frustrating.. what works once (access the pariscope to sink 3 ships) never works again. It won't even highlight as an option to use.

You're not supposed to hear anything, you are the mighty kaleun, leave such petty jobs to your crew.

Or if you really want to do something about it, go to the electric engine compartment and keep slamming the metal door shut for 15 minutes, that'll teach him.

(Don't do the same for the torpedo loader officer guy, he just stops talking to you. No, really, my officer won't talk to me anymore. :cry:)

the problem with the training mission is that if you deviate from what you're supposed to do, not every thing will work. You can cruise around and do whatever you want yes, but alot of things wont work correctly until you go Kiel. Crew on the deck is one, Torpedo Loading screen wont show.. crew management screen wont show.. and various other things.

Do exactly what it tells you to do.. if it says plot a course to keil.. do it. If it says travel to kiel.. do it.

Get through the training mission and you'll have a watch on deck (if you call 3 guys without binocs a watch crew :roll:) and some of the other options will open up for you.

The damage model needs tweaking. I put 2 torpedoes (one in the bow, one in the stern) into a Hog Island freighter, and it kept on steaming as if nothing happened. No list, no slowdown, no nothing. Put 1 torpedo into the one behind it and same effect. Or non-effect, as it were.

Decks awash isn't quite right either. I order 7 meters depth, shoot through the UZO and try to submerge. The hatch has been locked, and I have to surface, open the hatch, go down it, and THEN submerge. It blows the whole concept of decks awash.

Same here. My sonar operator just picked up two fast-moving warship contacts but there's no way I can hear them.

system crashes
 

hi there when i play SH5 even on the lowest res and graphic settings it still seems to crash my pc i have a 512Mb ATI HD 4600 video card i am running windows XP SP3 and all my other system requirements are matched to the games requirements and yet when i play SH5 and i start to go near a large taskforce to engage it my whole system restarts and i have to start all over again i have no clue what is goin on can any 1 help me out?

Cool, I just have to see my eye doc.

When I ran the game for the first time, it worked flawlessly. I have since been unable to play! The game runs and begins to load. The intro movie is played. However, when the title screen is loading, it freezes when the game is synchronizing the saves with the server. The lock up occurs and the menu never loads. The 1.1 patch log indicates this issue was fixed. I have the patch installed and am obviously still experiencing the problem.

I've tried removing my saves from my folder, but that did nothing. The problem is obviously with the save file on the uplay server which I can do nothing about. I've tried deleting and re-installing the game and I still have the problem. In searching the ubisoft forums, a few other people are having the same problem.

I'm a bit miffed.

has anyone gotten the Captains emblems to show on the boat? If so how? I tried choosing one in paint scheme area but not on conning twr.

Weird reflection behavior on gauges
 

This is certainly a minor thing, but a little strange nonetheless.

I was sitting at the hydrophone station doing a routine hydrophone check, and, since I still only have the GHB installed on my boat, decided to initiate a 90 degree turn to port. Upon glancing up at the compass repeater above the station, I noticed that the reflections on the glass of the dials were responding to the turn, as though the sun was shining on them through a window in the pressure hull.

When I stopped the turn, the reflections also stopped turning.

Apparently it's quite sunny at 50m. :haha:

"Du vill do vat du are told or I vill cut ze at the knees"

Lost voices again (and apparently when voice commands are lost so is the messages about commands) so what happens is you press "Hard to Port", your ship moves hard to port but you don't get ANY feedback at all that it's happened.

Makes things like Depth (which is text/voice only) impossible and you just generally have no idea what's happening with your boat. Sound and morale glitches need to be fixed. :(

Still not able to pass the "Ubisoft Update launcher" it just crashes after 10-20 seconds. I posted about 2 pages ago and was told to Reinstall it, but that made no difference. :damn:

Could it be a firewall issue or an anti virus problem ?
