TWoS 2.2.x - difference between exhaust smoke on submarine
 

Hi,


I use TWoS 2.2.24 and I have since more than 1 or 2 years the problem, that the submarines haven't any exhaust smoke anymore. I have this issue with and without adidonal mods but this problem still exist. I allready done reinstall of SH5 and TWoS but this issue still exist. I believe that it could have something to do with the drivers or with changes in past of the drivers from AMD, but I can't check this because I only use AMD graphics cards. Because if I activate as mod "Sub_Exhaust_1_0_5_byTheDarkWraith" I have and see the exhaust smoke but with this mod a got very often CTDs at starts of mission and campaings with and without other mods.
As far as I know TWoS uses "EUFv2_0_UBoat_FX_v0_0_6f_ byTheBeast" for the exhaust smoke.



So what is the differenc between the exhaust smoke mod from TheDarkWraith and from TheBeast and have someone the same issue with graphic card from AMD or with Nvidia too?
And if someone with an graphic card from AMD haven't this issue and have/see the exhaust smoke, with driver version is in use?

I have the same problem. I have also seen the smoke in many pictures here for TWS, but I don't have any smoke on my submarine.
Have you found a solution to the problem?

welcome aboard!
 

Hi Aktungbby,

do you know a solution or can you help?

I don't know what it's like with TWOS, but actually there is or was a Sub Exhausts.dat in the Library folder, then the file had to be adapted with .fx in the Submarine folder for the respective boot. and of course smoke textures for each boat type in the Textures folder! Only the modders at TWS can answer you what's actually going on!! With Sh 3 you could do all of this in the sim file, if I remember correctly!
