Loading troubles...

[nonnobit]

Hi everybody and thanks to who worked and is working to make nicer navigation and more playable game at all!

Except for SH4 I played all SH games, using your mods experiencing any kind trouble and solving thanks to other players and developers in this site.

Actually I'm sinking Britsh again in SH5, putting on and take off modded dials by Dr. Jones, TdW, Stoiamm etc. for little...remodding with new compass, broken glass..,By the way I ask permission to do it to everybody know "The CODE" to make masterworks like these...

Nothing ever happened ,no troubles about saving in dock or not, till to Yesterdayne month ago in the game in 1942,I started a mission like Arctic convoys -50 ships to sink , I completed usual sub-mission in a specific zone,and I continued to dock in Trondheim and Narvik for 3 o 4 times to refuel and rearmy my VIII C , pushing over convoys day and night to catch target into 16 August, but now my U-boot needs dock very much and I went to Bergen for reparations and to "complete" trip in base dock.
Choosing a new mission, click on Start Mission and after loading " Dock autosave" or something like this (I'm from Italy and I don't know English SH5 version), game runs at one frame every five seconds?!?! No crash. Game is very slowed and Pc' fans are at minimum, that's not normal for SH5....
To exit game ,I have to go in task manager.
I reloaded last autosave and worked, but after docking Bergen, load game and 1 frame for seven seconds, other savegames worked, but too old to play lots of months again , and then my crew wouldn't be so happy...
I tried everything I know, reloading last working savegame going back for hundred km, resaving and coming back to Bergen, start game without choosing a mission by the officer, but nothing change, reading all autosaves readable in Pc, but I did not found anything I think is useful to solve the problem. It's obvious that SH5 Campaign progress system writes something wrong in Dock's savegame
The question: do you think it's because of docking too many times in other ports before complete mission in Bergen?
I touched some scripts and navigation map.ini but after lots of savegames,I reloaded original Dr Jones files, except for Magui Old Dials.
No changing in structure games's files, omly a bit in dial's graphics, everything works perfectly.
I hope to have put on paper the problem and to find a solution , no wish to return in 1941...Thanks for reading and writing any idea

I forgot that same issue happened in navigation, same patrol,but I reloaded close working savegame and I could go on in campaign, till to Bergen, in which I can't progress in campaign anymore...
Any ideas?

Stock campaign? Have you modded your game since when you started playing your current campaign?

[nonnobit]

Yes Sir, Always stock Campaign.
Yes,I modded after beginning of Campaign; now I tried to start game without any mod but it's the same.
Something tells me it would be better to reinstall SH5 using sinchronized savegames on Ubi, but will this solve the prob?

[nonnobit]

I just reinstalled ATI drivers abd the whole stock SH5, using same savegame synchronized from Ubi, but nothing changed.
Wrong data are saved in last savegame, but I don't know where and why..

[nonnobit]

I solved loading last savegame, docking in Bergen, choosing new patrol, loading Dock's bad savegame, walking for five minutes to officer in base, and choosing Dido's Mission and relative patrol, all with a impossible framerate, till to new loading mission and everything magically came back to normality.
With SH5,I saw things that's very hard they happen in other games
Thanks for help

Again,
december 1942 , docking in Bergen, I accept command of a new u boot,
I upgrade it and start mission: ten seconds every frame,impossible to go on or exit the game
If I don't accept command of u-boot everything works fine, but I could not
upgrade my old smg anymore ;
and if I do another patrol with old u boot, then when come back to dock, they don't offer you U-boot's command anymore!

Framerates may be slow due to a tie up with processing taking forever. (FYI -Framerates can be fixed with Antilag when you want to limit framerates.) I do not suspect that limiting framerates (CTRL + F8 key=Frames per second, FPS) is your problem yet.

A good rule is to start a new campaign everytime you change mods; I interpret from your posts most of the time you are trying to reload old game saves that may or may not be synched properly from Ubisoft.

Since you have changed mod conditions so many times 1,2, and 3 plus having problems with savegames are not synched with Ubisoft; I would make sure all mods (if any are enabled at the moment) are disabled. Click on my signature link below and try post #3. Anything help there, especially from the !BACKUP folder errors perhaps?

Some captains will delete the SH5 documents folder completely. This folder has caused loading problems. IIRC from others, the game will recreate all necessary data for the SH5 document folder. Please have others reverify this.

Once you get the game up to speed, most of us captains play the game offline, your harddrive will save game data locally. ....Unless you like playing the game on different computers; therefore the synching game saves is needed.

Perhaps your two different modlists shown here may help, for future consideration to solve the problem.
Let us know any other details or if fixed.

Installing a major mod during the patrol/mission can cause this problem too

Yes it's a good idea, it means that you have to choose to mod or to play...
After lots months of patrols and depht-charges, I woun't to restart caimpaign

Ubi savegames don't affect my pc savegames at all: usually I'm offline,just saving online sometimes helped me to reload very old savegames after reinstalling SH5.

No errors in backup folder.

Not my case

I'm quite sure it's because I played with mods; I can't realize it's no crash but framerate is affected such way.
Define major mod plz

However, since if I don't accept new u boot command, I can't upgrade sub devices -like enemy will do instead - I saved , and I started new campaign...

I would make sure all mods (if any are enabled at the moment) are disabled

I didn't think about it, I will try

Thanks everyone for help
