Weird. Perhaps something has gone wrong with my installation. Even thought I did follow the instructions.. that's odd.

Link to a screenshot of the map.

I drawed an approximation of a zone with deeper water over it so your know what I mean. The map gives no indication if certain zones are deeper than other.

Is this intended or a bug on my end?

Fifi · 01-25-20, 02:50 PM

You are right, something happened...can’t believe a file could change by itself

Many things i don’t explain with windows 10 and those damn updates.
I’m 100% sure i didn’t touched the nav map files, and it’s changed!

I’m not home tonight and not tomorrow either, but I’ll fix this on Monday here, and post an other Patch.
It will be V4 Patch 1, with the escorts visuals + Nav map fix

...and will delete other patch download.

Sorry for this strange issue

THX for your continuous work.

Yet,there is no ship traffic at all in Baltic Sea.No neutral or enemy.
Could you add ships like there was in OM?
Baltic Sea Flotilla without ships too boring.
No realistic too.

Best regards,Paroni

Did you empty your Save folder before using v4? You could also copy and save it elsewhere if you want to keep a v3 career going for later use...

Just in case it might be due to some odd interaction with SH4. I'm going to do a complete clean re-install and see if the issue is still there.

dashyr · 01-25-20, 03:58 PM

Yup. It is still there.

If anybody else got the same problem. I found this mod: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=3197

I booted it up and everything seems fine. Until Fifi is able to fix it we can use this as a workaround.

Of course, backup your save. I know nothing about modding in this game and I have no idea if this could make your save unplayable post fix.

It will...i have it too.

@ Paroni: for Baltic traffic, only propbeanie could look into it...i know nothing about campaign files...yet.

propbeanie · 01-25-20, 04:04 PM

Yes, the Baltic traffic is "thin", comparatively speaking, but it was thin in real life also... I do have plans though for more, because this is a game, not real life... lol

Agreed. Realism in simulation games is always nice. But, it has to be done to work with the gameplay and not against it.

Probably keep the historical routes but make it so more ships goes through them. Especially when limited to 1024 as TC... It's quite a lot of waiting. xD

Fifi · 01-25-20, 04:53 PM

Silent Hunter is a game for patient players

Perso i don’t like to score thousands ships, rince and repeat ad vitam eternam.
It’s more rewarding to get kills when it’s difficult and rare.
But that’s only my thought

Sorry again you have to wait till Monday for regular nav map recover

Fifi · 01-25-20, 05:32 PM

Thanks. Also, I understand patience but I try to do short patrols. Not high scores.

Perhaps leave the number of ships as is but maybe include an optional addons for people like me who prefer short ones.

Hi there,

I'm returning to the SH games after a break of many years and have had to buy the games again on Steam. Would love to try this mod but will it work on the Steam version and what is a Large Address file and how to activate it?

Thanks in advance for any help.
