I have removed the download for those old mine reduction mods

Sorry but you will have to start a new career also.

Edit: at SilentSteel :up:

Much obliged. I also noticed that adding the Kriegsmarine Grid Map mod caused the game to CTD within a few seconds until I took it off.

I will try the layout you suggested and see how it works. I'm only on my second patrol, so no harm done really.

EDIT: @Silent Steel, I'm running an AMD Phenom II X2 3.1 Ghz dual core with 6 gigs of RAM and a GeFore 9800 GT video card. I doubt it's my hardware causing the problems. I've also tried the Dynamic Environment mods but for some reason they were causing crashes. I uninstalled them and the crashing lessened.

EDIT 2: I have no idea how to use the migrator app. >_>

I love this game, but trying to get a stable set of mods in it is quite the frustrating experience. There needs to be a GWX kind of thing for SH5.

EDIT: Tried it again, without that extra IRAI bit. The Kiel Harbor Pilot took me through the first harbor you pass in the canal. Actually through it. My sub went through the docks, through the land behind it, back into the canal, then crashed into the side of the canal.

Hmmm...

The 'IRAI_0_0_30_TheDarkWraith.txt" let's us know this;
'This mod is fully compatible with my UIs mod. You have to install my UIs mod first then install IRAI and then the add-on mod for no hydrophone on surface if you want that. Say yes to all JSGME warnings.'

Or? :hmmm:

I tried Silent Steel's load-out. It seems to be more stable, though I'm going around Denmark now instead of using the harbor pilot. The Dynamic Environment (realistic) mod gave my sub and crew a very strange glow, but the normal version of it seems to be working well.

About that 'glow' - PM Stoianm or Gap

recon manual disappear....

Hi all,

it' a long time I've got a problem, after installed MODs Mgnus Opus e UI TDC 6.5.1 the Dark Wright, I 've never been able to find the recognition manual.
obviously I did switch on the toggle chart visibility, but nothing manual it's missed!! I looked at any part of the screen in every angle, but nothing (see picture below)........:cry:
I also checked in the game directory trees (shown below), and everything seems to be ok......at least in my opinion (SOAN Directories...)
maybe some DLL or something, it's missing ?What happened?
Anybody can help me?? Pleaseeeee:wah::wah::wah:

Thanks a lot in advance!!
Bye

A strange behaviour with the savegame.

I was submerged in front of a port, and i sank 2 tankers at 2 different places, i have 2 torpedo left. During this shooting fiesta i do several saves.
After that, i slowly escape the area and paf my first CTD; no worry for me, it's a modern video game :haha:.

So i came back to SH5 and reload my last save game.
I discovered that my last sunk tanker was no more counted in my hunting result, and i had always 2 torpedo left. More strange, a tanker is still floating in the port but a the same place at the first i sunk lol. It's like the last one i sunk, was no more sunk but the torpedo used were really used.

As i have a savegame just before sinking the 2nd tanker, i loaded it. My torpedo stock come back to 5 :), and the tanker is still here, but at the same place of the first one. Si finally i sank twice time the same tanker. Strange.

Perhaps i due to the fact i was submerged when i saved it, but with 5 destroyed around me :D, i could not surface to save :haha:.

Game crashed, and now every time I try to load the last save, it crashes right before loading. Even when I load a save from an hour and a half before the last one. Grr.

Have you installed or removed any mods from when the problem started:06:

Thanks oakdesign

Have the same kind of problem with my version, Steam wants to instant framework 2. Has it not necessary on my vista 32 bits i found a "dirty" workaround.

In the "48110_install.vdf" at the SH5 root directory, i delete all reference to the framework installation:

Quote:

"WindowsInstaller_x86"
{
"Requirement_OS"
{
"Is64BitWindows" "0"
}
"Process 1" "%INSTALLDIR%\\redist\\WindowsInstaller\\Win32\\Ne tFx20SP1_x86.exe"
"Command 1" "/q"
"NoCleanUp" "1"
}
"WindowsInstaller_x64"
{
"Requirement_OS"
{
"Is64BitWindows" "1"
}
"Process 1" "%INSTALLDIR%\\redist\\WindowsInstaller\\Win64\\Ne tFx20SP1_x64.exe"
"Command 1" "/q"
"NoCleanUp" "1"
}

Maybe I am not clear about the title of this thread !!!!!
After reading pages after pages of posts I see people posting about problems and then listing half a page of mods on the stock game. Then 2 posts later they figured out that the mods were improperly installed.
Well I thought this is a thread with the stock game. Yes we all know there are lots of problems with it. Nonetheless I want to play with the stock game.

IRAI
FX Update
New UIs

The New UIs thread is out of date, has been for a while - and this confusion keeps popping up. Can't find the post to link to it, but this is correct for now, at least until TDW says otherwise. :up:

Im sure the order should just be by date release. Oldest first, newest last:up:

Thanks Orpheus,

One of the trickiest things around here is to stay updated on all mods.
New versions, bugs and more. All the time. :yawn:

Still, it's so inspiring being a member of this active community.
Actually the most 'living' one I've ever seen.

BTW. IF activating MO - Activate before IRAI.

:DL

There are a few bugs needing fixes fast.
Ability shortcuts stops working from time to time. Have to reload game to get them working.
Also when ordering a crewman to use ability i.e sonarman they always say "Cannot perform action" but do it anyways.

Some orders doesnt work correctly when giving commands. Man the deckgun and secure deckgun for instance. Often it just gives "Man gun" not "secure gun". This goes for other orders to.
"Deck Gun" commands really need an overlook. It's a mess.

Animations needs tweaking. Some turn their backs to you when talking. Some odd behaviour from time to time.

I went to Scapa Flow. Met task force in entrance. 2 Destroyers stuck headbanging the shore.

A boat upgrade not working correctly. Ordered Zwilling FLAK guns, started mission with standard 2cm FLAK. Upgrade not applied.

Radio and Grammaphone not working. No access.
Checked the files on DVD. It's the music and radio files from SH4... lol?

Manual states that escorts can be requested by radio within reach of a German base. How does this work?... there's no radio command for it.

Several crashes to desktop with no errors whatsoever. I suspect this to be the OSP doing connection checks.

I also have a couple of requests. Please add "Return to course" command. (I haven't found it though). And where is the depth under kiel gauge?

i also don't understand why you didn't add rudder icon for mouse like speed and depth. It's only 1 degree left/right or full left/right. Makes steering manually a biatch ;)

And last... Since SH3 one could never flood all the tubes in a chosen Salvo. And we still can't. Tried doing some changes in command.cfg but no luck so far. Setting salvo spread is also missing as far as i can see. I hope i'm not blind here:88)

I havent gotten through the thread as of yet , there are 50 pages of entiries . SO far the best of the series has to be SH3 With GWX expansion pack .. SH5 , I think I ordered the software last year , but since than up graded my home p/c so all the graphics would look cool ,

I miss so far the Following

1 A fine tuned gauge for manual steering . Why cant you just get 1 degree to starbord in SH5 ?
2. Why dont the sonor guys and tha deck watches fail to call out contacts and why doesnt the sonor guy give up dates on contacts?

3 . Its a painin the ass to plot a soulution for the torpedoes .. I missed alot now iam always keeping my fingers crosssed .. annoying !!

4 and all the crew that are you talking to are always spinning around like a buch of faggots trying to show you there asses LOL

5. Iam not sure how much I need to ctach up on mod wide , But I hope GWX mod is included in the mix for SH5 ..

6 . I dont exactly when a patrol ends . Damm small load of torpedoes I have to keep running back to whilhesaven to re-arm - etc october 10 1939 , comon germany invade france so I leave out pf brest or something ! :salute:

Iam still hooked on SH3 AND SH4 ,, alot of more control in things witha crew that helps you . So far every thing in Sh5 I have to listen to the sonor . I have had to use the deck gun . I have had to ID targets .. Iam the freaking captain . Were is the dummies that are saying that theya re the crew . So whats gonna happen when my boat gets a hit will I have to damage control also?

Why dont you use the compass found in New Uis mod.
http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5637/compassok.jpg

So I accidentally completely trashed my SH5 folder.. I went to go and redownload it as I had to do earlier this year when I reinstalled XP... and I can't find anywhere to download it. Ubisoft doesn't even acknowledge that I owned it at any point in time. uPlay is uPlay and shows that I've done thing WITH silent hunter... but no dice for downloading it. This is quite flipping annoying. I saw somewhere about Ubisoft keeping downloads available for two years if you pay an extra five dollars.. which is just goddamn retarded. Besides that I'm screwed I think.

About 30 seconds from just torrenting it so I can play. Any alternatives?

:nope:
