Weird High Angle Bow issue
 

So.... The bow of my boat will not lower, just sticks up. Because of this, the boat will not dive properly, resulting in either being surfaced, or just the Conning Tower and Bow surfaced.

Have restarted campaign already. BTW What kind of game is it, that that is a standard fix.

No damage whatsoever to my boat.

Running Following Mods in this order

Reworked Morale
Sub-hyd-fix
Environment 15 MOD

Mine is hopefully a simple question and just an item I missed. I loved the ability to lock the view on our sub when underway. With SH5 I can't find the option to do that. I'm running with TWoS and just learning how to use it. Have I missed the option to activate that function in either TWoS or the options file editor?

That's FAR from being enough to avoid all sorts of mal-functionning in SH5.:yep:


The minimal modlist for SH5 should be something like that (you can skip the OH2 campaign mod):

(Preliminary): SH5 updated to 1.2.0 + TDW Generic Patcher applied
FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith
Torpedo Circle FIX (adequate torp update from mod above)
NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith
NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_FIX_Message_English_XOTDC_Auto_Ma nual_TDC (self-made not available, skip it)
NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_TheDarkWraith_FIX_Destroyed_Ship_ Marks (self-made not available, skip it)
NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_Sjizzles_Charts from TWoS
NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_New_radio_messages_German
IRAI_0_0_41_ByTheDarkWraith
Accurate German Flags
DeckGun Friendly Waves
No_Damn_Bubbles_No_Damn_Halo_Mod_ADJUSTED (use the original one)
Automation Scripts from TWoS (skip it if you want)
Trevally Harbour & Kiel Canal Pilot v3.1 (a must or the harbor pilot for Kiel will not work)
OPEN HORIZONS II v2.5
OH II v2.5 Grid Request fix Patch SH5
TWoS_ADJUSTED_Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 Basemod (can be skipped, better crew sound, only the sound, without keyboard changes and without AI scripts)
TWoS_ADJUSTED_Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 additional crew sounds beta6 (can be skipped)

You can also skip all TDW 7_5_0 and dependent mods, but then you have no advanced crew commands, no useful additional maps and no automation features.

Then you will have to use my mod to advance in the campaign if you are using OH2 with the tonnage bar (not published yet).

I propose that you load all this and we speak again if you still have trouble...

Hi friends,

I had a problem after install twos 2.2.7 and update on clean SH5 install.

Hi Q
Your first picture is showing one of the map options corrupted that you can make changes to.
Both pictures show obvious corruptions.

After installing your game must be updated to v1.2.0
Post #5 Update SH5 From v1.0.5.0 To v1.2.0 Immediately After Installing > Pictorial

This could be a Direct X problem.
You must have the correct Direct X version for all Silent Hunter games which is version 9c.
This should come as part of the installation which you usually have to acknowledge for it to be accepted to be installed.
DirectX 9.0C > Download Link > Essential Application For All SH Versions

You also need to check that your gpu is setup correctly.

Your SH5.exe should be set to run as an administrator.
Post #417 How To Run The SH5.exe As Administrator > Pictorial

SH5 does not need to be run in any compatibility mode for Windows OS.

Here is another fix worth trying.

You may be just unlucky that your installation was corrupted.
You may wish to re-install.

Before enabling any mods a new career will take you to the SH5 tutorial so check that you can enter this alright and all looks well, if so use the ESC key and exit to the desktop and enable your mods.

I have been runing a few test games with 2.2.7 and found the following issues but they might be game related and not mod related.

When a lot is happening in the boat and outside of it the game has a tendency to get extremely slow in framerate as well as unresponsive to mouse click input. Especially if, say for instance your zentrale is full of smoke and water is coming in from all sides or if and when a large convoy is being attacked by multiple subs.

Also when loading a savegame the captains log gives no date at previously sunk ships but a series of numbers like -211889--75--24 or 0-000000--00--00 , this while the sunk ships do register as tonnage and promotion points still count.

Can you tell me whether this is game or mod related?

Thanks in advance !

Did you launch stock v1.2.0 game at least once before TWoS installation?

Silent Hunter 5 stops after sinking Aircraft carrier
 

I have sunk the Aircraft carrier as part of the "sink 5 AMC's and one aircraft carrier".

The problem is that my game stops working when I try to leave the area.

After sinking the aircraft carrier I immediately saved the game(so I would not have to wait for the ship to come along again) then resumed the game,thinking that that may work,but it didnt.

Can someone please help me with this,its getting really annoying.

Thanks in advance.

Hi CA

That is most likely the cause of your problem.
Making a game save and then "Resume" can cause problems.
Making a game close to the sunk ship can also cause problems.
Making a game save submerged can cause problems.

With the stock game I personally would move 60k away from a destroyed mark before making any game save.

I'm playing TWoS Mod. To switch to the new campain i have to sail around from 10 May 1940 to 7 Jun 1940.

Allright so far.
Now i have sighted a big convoy without escorts. After sneeking in the right position, picking the best targets i fired all torpedos. 2 big ships (passenger liners) go down, two other (tankes) are heavely damaged an will sink in time. Bow sinks more and more in the water.


--> NOW: Very proud of the amazing success I make a savegame.


Only to do some testing and do some funny stuff i went surface right in the middle of convoy and open fire with the deckgun to the two damaged ships.

After one blows up in a huge explosion i took some damage because of been fired from other ships.



So I want to take it seriosly again and load the savegame.


And: no damage to the ships but all tubes empty


What the ****!

Welcome to the Silent Hunter world, where only your damage can be saved but not for the other units as well...:)

You should avoid any save game when close to ennemies...and harbors.
It’s mentioned in the TWOS documentation...otherwise it can gives you some issues :yep:

Radio messages problems
 

I have SH 5 with WOS modpack. When I receive a radio message, the date of the message didn't correspond to the current date of the patrol. I see 12 sept. 1940 and in New mission orders of the radio message appears 0655/20/06/1940 - in captain's log. Also the U-46, but In ship's log appears U28.
So I cannot decode the message with Enigma...
pls help!

Thx
