Also my next mission was to patrol the north passage and I cant find any ships , I have stayed surfaced and have been repositioned by BDU three times and told to be more aggressive, but absolutely no other traffic around. Is this normal?

One other thing is I spotted many enemy aircraft and have yet to be attacked. This was far from the case in SH4.

Im running no mods on a D2D download patched to 1.2.0
My system is 9850 Phenom with 2 x 2gb pc6400 , ATI 4870 1 gb,Win Vista 32 bit sp2, dual Raptors in Raid 0.

Thanks for any advice you guys have.

Regards Matt:)

It's such a shame that ubisoft dont want to create more patches for this very fine game. Its a scandal. The game is awesome and still have very competitive graphics and gameplay. The game isnt even finished.

I have discovered at least 3 new bugs the recent 2 days and had about 10 crashes in the same duration.

I can't say it many times enough, its such a huge shame that ubisoft wont fix this game. Imagine what we could do with this game if they cared to just tweak it a little bit more, optimize it, kill off the crash bugs and other annoyance bugs.:woot:

How much problems does it produce for ubisoft to even put a single man on this project?

Hi,

Yesterday, i bought SH5. But, when I want to start a new campaign or an historical mission, my game crashes after the loading. Before the crash, i have a black screen. The game crashes in the two versions and in all of the video setup.

My configuration :
-Windows 7 32 Bits
-3 GB of RAM
-Pentium Dual-Core E5200 2.50 GHz
-Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT (Drivers updated)

In advance, thank you for your help

PS : Sorry for the mistakes but I'm french.

Help!!! unplayable!

I have SH5 which I obtained via Steam. I am having problems where, after returning to base following the first patrol, the game crashes upon trying to load a game. Whether I load or choose continue mission. This happened to me in stock SH5--i uninstalled and reinstalled via Steam. And is happening now after having the MO mod installed with patch.

What gives? I presume other people are playing farther than just one patrol...

you have the CTDs after you installed the MO?.. if yes than i think you should to start a hole new campaign.... it is not working to load an saved game or to continue after you installed the MO... just start a new campaign

No, I also mentioned I had the CTD before applying any mods as well. I RTB after first patrol, try to go on second patrol... crash! I relaunch, try to continue and... crash. I relaunch and try to restore a save from before I event RTB'd and... crash.

Just bought the steam copy today....been having a bit of fun but have found a serious problem:

Basically the first time i did a crash dive i was hit before by a destroyer's gun - my u-boat sank after constantly diving - i thought maybe it was just a lucky hit

Turns out not....

Next patrol i crash dive again....supposed to stop at 70m....destroyers coming in so while its doing this i drop to around 80m....for some reason my the sub keeps diving....then i notice 120 metres....bollocks....and i sink! is this a bug other people have come across?...because it effectively means i can't crash dive atm!

I'm not sure if this is a problem or not or how it is supposed to work. But, when I crash dive, I se my depth back to 30m or 40m and reduce speed to a standard bell. Maybe I have been preventing this.

Do a search in the mod section for "Depth Keeping Fix" There are several mods that address this. Yes, it is a bug.

I may have some more info on this. I restored a save from while still in my first patrol. i RTB and was able to go on second mission without CDT. This was odd. I sat and thought about it and the ONLY thing I did differently was, the first time, when the game became unplayable from that point forward, was I added an emblem to my conning tower.

Huh?

Hello everyone... newbie here, been playing sh5 for a few days now, and really love it.

*Clean install -> Update -> installed mods in the order listed -> new game*

Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 *including update*
nVidia missing lights *since i use a gtx 295, figure i need this*
Original map colors
Shadow Improvement Mod
NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith
Manos Scopes-patch for 16x9
FX_Update_0_0_15_ByTheDarkWraith
FX_Update_0_0_15_UHS_Fix

Re-Magic_Skills *self made, restore skills & dialog removed from magnum*
-----------------------

To the point... I have developed a habit of saving every 5 mins, or every time i destroy a ship/plane.. because i keep getting this annoying crash... i have tried looking for info, and several things to fix the crash before asking for help. but i have had no luck.

sometimes it happens just randomly.. but 95% of the time it happens while in a fight, usually surfaced and using the cannon while taking fire, although i think it has happened submerged aswell. when it does happen the game might freeze for up to a few seconds at a time, or just become really choppy. also the graphics *explosions* seem really odd... for instance after a explosion there will be a bright ball where it went off, making me unable to view any ships around me due to the extremely bright light. also water splashes seem to freeze mid-air.

can spend so many hours crashing/reloading trying to destroy a convoy. sometimes i get lucky and don't crash

well that explains it all, down to the actual error.

ALWAYS the exact same timestamp, code and offset

Code:

Problem signature:

  Problem Event Name:    APPCRASH

  Application Name:    sh5.exe

  Application Version:    1.2.0.0

  Application Timestamp:    562b9a96

  Fault Module Name:    SHCollisions.act

  Fault Module Version:    0.0.0.0

  Fault Module Timestamp:    4bce9a3a

  Exception Code:    c0000005

  Exception Offset:    00037104

  OS Version:    6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3

  Locale ID:    3081

from the looks of it, none of the mods touched SHCollisions.act, i tried to look inside this file but its encrypted/strange format.

there has to be something really simple to fix this.....

anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and why?

my pc specs:
Intel cpu i7 920 @ 2.67ghz *stock*
nvidia gtx 295
6gb ram 3x ddr 1600 i beleave. *eventually get 24gb lmao*
asus p6t deluxe V2
running windows 7 home premium 64bit

*EDIT*
just got this one, all the same except this time ( Exception Offset: 00037034 )

I'm getting freezes requiring a shutdown via Crtl-Alt-Del when i try to take a screenshot using the Shift-F11 key combo.

I'm running only IRAI version 0.0.30 and NewUIs with TDC version 6.4.0 (default SH5 enhanced). My system is a Q9505 at 3.2ghz, GTX260, 4gb ram, Vista 32.

When I take a screeny the screen freezes with repeating engine noises and when I hit Crtl-Alt-Del the capture sequence is running but not responding. SH5 is installed to C:\Ubi, so no issues with UAC. I can use Fraps for screens, but any hints on what might be happening and a fix?

I had the MO installed (JSGME) but I got constant shutdowns of SH5, so I disabled it.

Thanks in advance
