Hydrophone display all blurry
 
Hi guys, first of all it is great to meet such a huge community of fellow simmers.
So after a few months on SH3 GWX 3.0 Gold, I decided to try Silent Hunter 5.
Ubistore has it at a bargain price with WELCOME2021 voucher if anyone is interested, just 7,89 euros.

Anyway, thanx to THEBERBSTER's detailed info about... well almost everything on SH5 :up:, I successfully installed the magnificent TWOS from vdr1981 (many many thanks for a superb job :Kaleun_Applaud:) .

The ONLY 2 problems that I have is that the fonts on the various instruments on the control room plus the hydrophone is almost unreadable. Especially the hydrophone's fonts are really unreadable the others are mostly blurry.

Also, I have a great aspect ratio distortion on the sides of the screen. So when a round instrument is at the center of the screen, it looks well ...round but close to the edges is highly elliptical.

I have already tried to experiment with different resolution settings and also the DPI settings on the compatibility tab, but nothing changes on either problems.

So the mods and spec of my machine are:
Windows 10
Intel HD400 Integrated graphics
Resolution of screen 1920x1080
Resolution in Game 1600x900, but I have also tried it on 1920 x 1080 and the problems are there.

Mods:
TWOS 2.2.21
plus:
TWoS Campaign Start_VIIB_UFlaK
TWoS Encrypted BdU Orders
TWoS Env Settings - Brighter Nights
TWoS FX_Reduc. Fires and Expl._Incr. Flooding via Zones
TWoS Harbors Chimney Smoke
TWoS Real Navigation
TWoS Remove Sub Flags
TWoS SM Interior_Food Stocks
TWoS Wooden Lifeboats

Any available help is highly appreciated.

The problems are really not game killers, but mostly on the annoying side.
Many thanx Kaleuns

Hi danaos75 :salute:
Hit us with few screenshots...:yep: Did you follow official install instructions PDF for Wolves?

danaos75 12-21-20 06:46 AM

Hi vdr1981,
yes to the letter. I had no problem at all from the installation! The game seems to be working great besides the 2 issues I mentioned.
Below are the pics ...I hope

Ok got it.
On 1 and 2 you can see the ellipsis on the instruments.
and on 3 the hydrophone's fonts
Hope it helps.

-====edited===-
ok now that I think of it I don't how important it is but during the installation of TWOS on step 2 of the pdf on the second bullet "Now, click "File" - "Restore snapshot" and double click TWoS 2.2_Snapshot.gps file.", I received an error that sh.exe file is locked by another application and cannot proceed with the action. I realized that the antivirus was on so I disabled it did the action again and completed successfully.

Yes, I can't see anything wrong on your screenshots, that's how we all see SH5 world...:yep: SH5 is an old game and not very well optimized for wide resolutions. probably field of view is little bit up scaled to simulate RL persons FoV.


You can read hydrophone needle bearing on the notepad in upper left corner...:yep:

many thanks vdr1981,
i thought as much.
It was just a nuisance anyway!

Thank you for making a decade old game super playable!!!

Hi there!

During my third patrol, I have a problem deciphering the message from my second zone.

I made a screenshot of the message in question:
https://i.imgur.com/vVJVqB7.png

The first grouping of 4 letters is good, but the rest is not.
There must be an error that has been introduced in the code .

Is there a way to find the unencrypted message ?

I don't think that is really the case...

Anyway, your next patrol order should be "Reposition. Patrol zone AM0285 radius 200 km. Time of patrol 48 hours. BdU"...:yep:

Thank you for your help.

I'll see if this is the right area.

This is the first time I have a wrong result with an Enigma message.

Did you manage to decode everything directly or did you have to guess some letters?

Hi,

i was submerged for a while and now just wanted to see if the problems with the latest Ubisoft Update are somewhat fixed or at least we have a work around.

I tried to get my old Version with TWOS running but no joy so i decided to do it again, right from the start. So i uninstalled SH5 and did a fresh install.
I run sh5 in Admin Mode and also tried Win 7 compatibility.

But every time i start the Game it happens the same thing again and again.
No matter if i start a new Campaign and hitting the Bunker or if i load a historical mission or anything else.
Everytime i enter the 3D World there is only a Black Screen, saying the Game is paused.
If i hit ESC to get into the menu, it took a few seconds then i see something.
If i then go back to the Game it looks normal. The Pause is ended but nothing moves. All the people, the sea and the boat are frozen. I can move aroud but everything else is frozen.

As i said its a clean Stock Install so i can be sure no mod causing problems.
I run as Administrator, Win7 Compatibility and excluded the SH5 Directory from the Antivir Software but cant get the Game to work.

Did i miss something? Any Ideas?

If he were a bot I'd have removed him a long time ago.

That gives me an idea :hmmm:
