Hi hunninghorst

By the Tutorial Mission are you referring to the SH5 one or the Baltic one in OHII?

If your game save is coming from your local saved games folder on your own computer then there are no servers involved as well as being off line.

If you are on line and you are using your local game save then although that saved game is synced it is only a back up and not used.

We still do not have an explaination why when a loaded game is being played the tonnage bar does not fill.

When exiting that save and the same save is loaded again but has not been over written by an automatic AIG save the tonnage bar then fills when sinking the same target that previously did not count.

Peter

Hello Peter,

I am referring to a stock clean installation of SH5 patched to V1.2.
There are no Mods used in it, so it is the stock tutorial mission which has no tonnage bar filled an still shows up on the mission screen.

Cheers

Hunnenhorst

Hello, no solution for me. :wah:

Old missions deletet. Baltic Mission can not be done. After sinking the ship, and for sure it will not fill the bar, I can not enter to (K) (log). Need to close game over Task Manager!

Absolutly frustrating. Just can start with happy time! To edit carrer.cfg is not working at the Moment:huh:. No new missions.

In the log file of U-Play is an update from Dezember..........?

Hi Hunnenhorst

I cannot remember seeing a tonnage bar in the stock tutorial.

You have to shoot the target or 4 torpedoes from the Observation scope which is the first task.

You then use way points to find the other targets on you map.

You sink a few of these and then you are ordered to go to Kiel.

You end the patrol, and have a conversation, With the Captain and Flotilla Leader.

You go to the Flotilla Leader and you can then Start your Mission which will take you to the navigation map where you can request the mission.

You can then start your patrol.

Peter

Hello Peter,

yes that is exactly how the tutorial mission went.
It is marked as completed in the list of missions when you end the patrol but if I move the mouse pointer over the cross in the map it does not have the tonnage bar filled.
That leads me to the conclusion that even in the tutorial mission no progress is recorded as well as in any other mission available right now, nor any of the 50.000 tons at the coast or any of the cruisers sunk in the north.

And since I do not use any mods, this bug must be in the stock game.

There has been no more launcher updates so i guess SH5 is abandoned for ever . Cannot even play the game without tonnage bar filling up .

welcome aboard!
 

Welcome hunnenhorst :sunny:

Hi guys

The tonnage bar problem that seems to have occurred over the last 6 months or so is totally ruining, and putting off users, and are abandoning SH5 in increasing numbers.

Unfortunately none of us can definitely state where the problem is, if only?

Is everyone having this problem or only some of us that are reporting the problem?

Is the silent majority having a problem?

So to finish, just how big a problem is this?

Peter

I've got it too. New install. Nothing helps. You and the other guys have done a great job investigating and working out work-arounds and I thank you for that, but now I want a game I can switch on and play. I've reinstalled SH 3.

It must be a bit embarrassing for Ubisoft to hear that people are turning their backs on their 5th. game in the Silent Hunter series in favour of a game produced in 2005.

Some type of mod combination, I agree this is a game-killer. Hopefully it gets sorted.

I have this problem too, and haven't found a solution that works. Maybe its a conspiracy by Ubisoft to make everyone play Silent Hunter online. :hmmm:

Thanks for the welcome!

Well, for my part I am now playing SH3 with LSH3 V5.1.
The gameplay there is awesome with this mod.

Ok, in direct comparison the graphics are kind of outdated.

With that tonnage bar bug SH5 is not really interesting for me anymore since I can not achieve any progress in the game since I can't even edit the save games when I have finished a mission.
It is a pity because I like the graphics in SH5 a lot, also I do like the idea of running through the boat and the limited interaction with the crew.
That are nice features added to the game which in my eyes is now wrecked due to that tonnage bar bug and the cease of support.

Ok, money wise it is not such a loss for me, just some wasted time.

Thanks to sober, could this be the breakthrough we have all been waiting for?

To sober, please can you confirm whether your next kill, fills the tonnage bar?

Unfortunately I have been in the situation where the first kill registers and the second and third does not.

The second kill is always followed by an in game save and should register on the navigation map in the first position Coastal Waters.

Peter

Unfortunately the troop transport didnt register so unless ubisoft decides to fix the drm then i wont be playing SH5 anymore . Or buying any ubisoft games .
