Try to UNINSTAll Zonealarm. Disabling is not sufficient. I've read this in the german ubi-forum.

Apologies if this has been brought up already, I just installed the game, when I walk up the ladders the watch's binoculars are flickering. Can see it from external view too. Anyone had this issue?

I tried fiddling with settings in the game and with my graphics card (ati 4870), makes no difference. It's pretty distracting. Apart from that I seem to be getting pretty good performance on high settings.

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.

Nobody else is experiencing this problem??? PLEASE HELP!

Bugs
 
1. Depth under keel - missing

2. Hydrophone - does anyone know how to operate it manually? it doesn't seem to rotate no matter what I do.

3. Level up system - When you add a + skill, make sure you click on 'APPLY' before closing the wondow, otherwise the promotion points are lost and they do not apply the level up.

4. A compass woukd be nice? or at least a compass rose on the TAI.

1 and 4 are being modded back in, check out the Mod forum.
Rotate the hydrophone with the mouse wheel, or home and end keys.

Filter buttons in scope
 
I tried using the buttons in the reco manual view to show me only the tankers with e.g. one large funnel but it didn't seem to work right. I was looking at a tanker with only one funnel and there were 3 choices: 2 funnels, one large funnel, and something else (one funnel?). Anyway I could see there weren't two funnels, but when I picked either of the one-funnel choices ALL of the tankers were filtered-out so I couldn't pick the one that matched the one I was looking at? Later it occurred to me that they might have done filtering the opposite of what I expected - maybe you can only "filter out" instead of "filter in" so I should have picked "two funnel" to filter-out all the two-funnel tankers? But then again, if that was true, then when i picked the one-funnel choices I should have seen some 2-funnel tankers to choose from and I didn't see any...

I sometimes, at the start or end of patrols, or both, get all harbour buildings not showing in game, except for the sub pens. It REALLY takes the atmosphere out of sailing out of Willhelmshaven or Kiel ready to rock the British shipping, when the at other times spectacular harbour looks like this:

Instead of this:

I don't know what's causing this, but I hope it will be fixed soon, it's a real mood killer.

Boat unable to maintain depth while silent running or while moving at slow speed in general.

- Navigator is announcing course to new waypoints not based on angle to north, but rather based on bearing to new waypoint. So a course of 270 degrees is depending on your actual course sometimes course 35, course 180 or something else.

- Navigator is saying "und dreissig - fünf" instead of "fünf und dreissig" (german language)

- Watchofficer is saying "Course" instead of "Bearing" ("Kurs" instead of "Peilung"). (german language)

- Observation periscope is raising to full when loading or entering a mission or career.

[EDIT: Solved]
Home base changes but does not say where.

After expending all my torpedos on my first patrol (I had already recieved the "mission accomplished" icon) I radio BdU and they tell me to continue patrolling at will or RTB. When I get back to Kiel I cannot end the mission (only Refit/Postpone). I checked all the messages in the log and the map, but there is no indication where my new base is. I suspect it's Wilhelmshaven?

indeed Karl
 
What karl said about the periscope is true, and come on. Those Romanians could like asked a German to give feedback on the German language, I can speak and understand it, while im not german at all. It is quite dumb saying und Dreissig - Funf

Hi all, new game but old ghost come back...

Does someone have the same problem ?

In SH4 I had some difficult to see sun glare effect... until I change settings in NVIDIA control panel : "Antialiasing - Gamma correction : OFF".

In SH5 I have the same problem, sun looks like this:

Can't set New Campaign Realism to 'Custom'
 
Hi

Just wanted to post a bug.

I've set my realism to 60% in the OPTIONS menu. Clicked Apply Changes.

Been in/out several times to confirm my options are there and correct. Even quit the application and reloaded it and confirmed my 'custom' realism settings.

However, whenever I start a Full New Campaign... I can only pick from the stock 4 realism options..

That sucks!!!

:(

Grrr
