Stange bug upon starting SH5 TWoS

nelsondx · 08-06-18, 04:18 PM

Hello there.
I tried installing the TWoS patch and it worked, however whenever I try to start the game, I get hit with these 2 UIs and I cannot get past this! I pressed Yes/No/Accept many times, reinstalled the game and the patch, did everything but for some reason I cannot remove these 2 UIs.

This shows up if I get into the action game.

I would like some assistance! The game does start and seems to work however I have these small bugs that are preventing me from playing!
I can play the vanilla game without mods and it actually runs.

You must do a complete clean re-install that means remove the folder from documents library the SH5 folder in your documents library . and any traces of U-play saved games . I suggest you use CC cleaner to completely clean your comp read these post from the Berster

Do you have other MODS enabled besides twos -- this will also cause this problem -- what is your MODS list as is with these problems now .. copy and paste the list here !!

nelsondx · 08-06-18, 05:03 PM

No I have not. I did a fresh install a few times.

Captain_AJ · 08-06-18, 05:05 PM

including your documents SH5 folder?

nelsondx · 08-06-18, 05:10 PM

I had this same problem before TWOS and when MOD soups were enormous and the reason why was because of duplicate files. I suggest you download CC cleaner read bursters post, remove the game and any traces of it then run cc cleaner and re-install -- Follow Direction's completely on setting up the option py after install and how to to do it properly than start doing this

) I am feeling so guilty after killing 7 ships in one nite

Start your game by running SH5.exe directly from your install folder with full administration rights.

The solution with grafic glitches in WoS is this most of the time:
Quit game, delete all xxxx_draggables.TDW in your main game folder and restart.

The very first time after install, or next time you make changes in your mods you must also delete these ones and restart game if glitches show-up. And always with Admin Rights as said above.

The problem is that he probably doesn't have those file in his main install folder...

If it's that then I guess the Generic Patcher and OFEV are not pointing to his install and Menu directory and he must redo it.

I don't think so. This has something to do with write protected install location or administration rights. It's a system problem commonly encountered with people who don't understand their OS quite well...
