Frustration with SH5

j_o_nn_y · 11-12-11, 05:52 PM

I wonder if anyone can help. I recently installed SH5 and installed nearly all the mods that Sober has because I didn't want to mess around for hours/days trying to make the game work. My list is this :-

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[F:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS]
Accurate German Flags
RemoveLogoIntroTheDarkWraith
sobers green spinning thing SH5
NDB,NDH OM#1 - No Dialog Indicator
MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Alt w beards
MCCD_1.04_MFCM_1.2.1_compatible
Speech fixes and additions (english version)
U-Boat Ballast Tanks SFX
Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod (normal ) V2.1
Dynamic Environment SH5 Waves (normal version) V2.1
sobers best ever fog SH5
Capthelms SH5 Audio Mod
sobers silent hud
sobers multi color mod V2
sobers see thru wake fix
sobers_realistic_underwater_FX2
MightyFine Less Annoying Footsteps 1.0
sobers smaller water drops V4
sobers 3D deck spray mod V7
Window_Lights_Redone_V1
SAS special abilities simplified V1 (MCCD) SH5
FX_Update_0_0_19_ByTheDarkWraith
IRAI_0_0_30_ByTheDarkWraith
NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith
NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_alt_officer_wounded_by_Torpedo
TDW_No_Hydrophone_On_Surface_1_1_0
Manos Scopes-patch for 16x9
Trevally Automated Scripts v0.6
Trevally Harbour & Kiel Canal Pilot v2.8
OPEN HORIZONS II_base v1.4
OPEN HORIZONS II_New_Ships v1.4
OHII v1.4 Patch2 Base - New Ships
OH II Campaign Radio Messages v4
sobers green crew training V3 SH5
sobers chimney smoke V2
Church's Compass Dials Mod v2.2 - Option Two
Grossdeutscher Rundfunk
TheDarkWraith SH5 Patcher

I then loaded the tutorial mission and soon realised there was no help on how to finish this and figured that it was due to OH II. I found out from these forums that you can skip the tutorial and so I did this.

I then went into the bunker to get ready for my first proper mission and came to screen that looked like this :-

Im not sure whether this is right where I have that box in the middle of the screen and all the dials around it. If it is right I dont know who to go to about starting the mission.

Also Im not too happy about the loading times when Im going into a mission. They seem alright when you reload it but when you exit out of the program and go back in the loading times take quite a few minutes.

very simple answer uninstall it and put
SH4 or SH3 on and take it back to the shop

Well Im not taking it back just yet.

. Ive got rid of all my mods and just played the tutorial fine. Ive got into base and that issue I had in the screenshot isnt there. Im going to test the mods bit by bit and see what was causing the problem. Probably the UI had got messed up.

Your list of mods and their order is the problem, here is mine so before de installing try this set up and it should work perfectly-

This is just wrong and not helpfull

Your screenshot is a common problem caused by something wrong in TDWs options.py
Replace that options file with an unedited one diretct from your TDWsUI download

j_o_nn_y · 11-13-11, 01:25 PM

Im not sure where that file is cos ive done a general search and I think that I have discovered 3 of them called Thedarkwraithuseroptions.py. If this is the file where is the one i should replace?.

I have realised, with Sobers setup the bunker screen fps is really good. I just have that problem with a messed up UI.

When I tried another Mod setup I noticed that the bunker environment is painfully slow and is unplayable. I tested the mods I had and finally just tested it with Magnum Opus on its own. It still is slow with this so this must be the culprit!.

Has anyone else experienced this?.

I would also like to know if there is a nice setup without Magnum Opus that people use?.
