Well first of all Thank you very much guys for the mod on this long weekend. At least here in Germany :D..

Secondly a question to the guys who are already playing it.
Could you upload some screenshots? :arrgh!:

I'm still waiting for my new computer to arrive, which will hopefully be tomorrow:woot:

cheerio

First of all i have the steam version, and after some frustration i managed to install the mod (something like Cbeck139 suggested, but a little more time consuming...).
I also had problems (CTDs at naval academy), with Hsie enabled, and i found that with everything on except for the Crashdive fix (NYGM), the Night Vision Fix (GWX), and the Diesel Damage Fix, it worked flawessly.
All the other submods gave me no CTDs at all, but i do not know if Hsie is properly applied. It says V16B1 at the main menu, but i do not know how to verify that it is actually working (i have never installed the patch before). For example submerged and moving with aprox 7 knots, i could clearly see with the periscope (but i have read that there is a blur if you use the periscope at high speed with Hsie enabled).

I also installed some additional mods and they are working flawessly if anyone is interested:
Carotio_SH3_Seafloormod - 256mb
Rubini's Underwater dust&plancton v1
TheDarkWraith_Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage_v1_4_SH3 (awesome mod...)
Thomsen's Sound Pack V3.2gc

I also want to try MEP v5, because this mod desperately needs it. Has anyone did it yet?

Edit: I just ckecked the compability with the following mods: M.E.P v5
Sh3_volumetric_clouds&fog_V2.2
New_clearsky_clouds

The Flak artillery tutorial loaded flawessly and oh my god, after 10 years this game looks amazing (after 24xEQ Edge - detected, supersampling AA, forced via CCC)

Finally, the 4GB patch must be applied, because i loaded a test career and the RAM usage reached aprox 4600MB.

Report back, please!


I tried all your suggestions and neither work.
My settings are at exactly 60 Hz
I did try the notepad trick and that didnt work.
I couldn't try installing the DirectX 9 series since I'm running Windows 8.1
The display changer didn't assist either.

Try to disable any wide screen / hi res options and try to start the game. And try the compatibility mode for XP in Admin mode as well.

What is the trouble with DX 9? Are you in Admin mode? Is your Windows User Account Control (UAC) protected? DX 9 is WIN genuine, the one from Microsoft directly, so it should work. Here is some useful information:

I do think we get you started....

Naaaa, LSH is eventually made in Germany. UBoats were made in Germany. Dönitz was German. Which language would you speak? :O:

Go to the settings screen in the game. There you should be able to change that...

First Thank you so much for taking time to help me.

You were on to something, I never thought about deactivating the mods and trying them one by one. The Widescreen mod is where the issue is occurring and I'm not sure why, this was one of the major changes I was looking forward to. Any Ideas?

danasan 05-22-15 02:29 PM

It has to do with the versions and settings of the d3d9.dll and / or d3d9.ini flying around, AFAIK.

EDIT: Some guys here are playing around with the different versions of said files. There will be a workaround.... Hopefully....

AFAIK? Not sure what that means.

Does the old 'delete german.tga's' trick still give us Swastika flags?

(I know I'm lazy as I didn't try it out, but don't want to ruin installation)
