How did you know that? When applying 'Sub Exhaust' mod via JSGME no conflicts are spotted. But something is really wrong because I get CTD each time when it is activated in my modlist (doesn't matter where it is positioned in the order) Chto za lazha, blin

I need to comment this . TDW's FX update gives a boosted funnel smoke also, but I still find the 'Enhanced Funnel Smoke' better. I get sometimes weird graphical glitches with TDW's smoke (floating smoke balls in the water and smoke that sometimes skips frames and shows in the wrong place.

I switched back to 'Enhanced Funnel Smoke', and all these problems were gone, everything works perfect. Don't know about the compatability though, but everything seems to be ok with 'Enhanced Funnel Smoke'.

Hi thanks, i will take on eye on this order.
I've rapidly tested Dynamic Env (and real env.), but not fully satisfied for the moment, perhaps i will test one of the other optional mod .

Right.
What you say is correct, that 'boosted' funnel smoke might be better and I've seen those 'balls' as well but -
IF you really want to run the FX Update I've found it runs better without smoke improving mods.
Why?
I can't say but that's what it's been like here for me.
In this case I've found it necessary to make a pick and as the FX Update adds so many immersive features the FX Update is the one to choose.

Hi again Loltak,

You say '... tested Dynamic Env (and real env.)...'
- Do you mean you've tested them both activated with JSGME at the same time?
- By 'real env.' - are you referring to the 'Real Evironment' mod by W_clear?

If you want to test the Dynamic Environment I recomment the 'Basemod (Realistic version)' followed by some of the optional add-ons. And NOT combined with the 'Real Environment' mod.

My best advice is you should go for the Dynamic Evironment



Please tell if you're satisfied with that or not.

Best regards

Hi, yes my answer is not very clear Answering a little bit fast...
Yes real environment is Environmental Mod by W_clear.
i reassure you , i use the two mod separately .

2 beautiful mod, if i have to choose i also take Dynamic Environment as it is more "complete".

At this time for Dynamic Environment, i just tested Base mod and optionnal wave mod both in realistic version. I am not very sure to know exactly what did not totally suit to me (color, wave mechanic); it's more a general feeling.

I see that in optional mod, there is a Realistic Color version, so i suppose it's different than the color of the base mod.
I"ll test now and tell what i think .

Also with one mod (don't remeneber which) the seafloor was bugged, huge stone and algae floating in the sea.

Bye

1. Completely right, if you ask me

2. Yes, again well done. The 'Basic' version is the best to start with as the 'Full' one is heavier on your CPU and can give stuttering gameplay.

3. Waves - try this one to get more realism - Stoianm's Pitch & Roll Mod

4. Color - I prefer the 'Realistic'. You can even try to tweak your GPU/Screen settings to get colors more to your taste.

5. You don't really need any under surface mods, do you? What captain would occasionally take a dive outside his sub?


As you run the Antilag set to 3 pre-render and 40fps I'd suggest you try 3 pre-render and 33-37 FPS. You should get an even better, smoother gameplay without any negative visible changes, just better gameplay. Just to check.

Regards

BTW. I've even tried a mod that improves weather and makes it less static - Stoianm's EnvWeather Mod

Salut Lesec,

I think you get these CTDs because the OH II 'Full' version is too heavy on your processor and RAM - takes a lot of capacity.
Change to the 'Base' version.

I've done a few changes and included some suggestions.

I also suggest you install the Antilag d3d mod; Antilag d3d
It will improve your framerate and give a smoother gameplay.
N.B. You can't enable this with JSGME >> Read the readme.txt !!!

à bientot

Hi
After many test and thanks to your comment i probably use:
***8226; Dynamic environment realistic version.
***8226; No optional color mod, i think that the color with the realistic color is a little bit too "white" if i can say.
***8226; Normal wave mod, i like the behaviour of the Realistic version but there is to much "foam" at the top of the wave. Hard choice


3 - Yes i have dl it, but forgot that it is compatible, and like the author wrote, a great match to TDW ui and Dynamic Environement Realistic wave. i will test. EDIT: in fact the author write that it is useless (?) if using TDW ui lastest version, so i did not use it!

5- in fact i did not put a mod for the undersurface mod, but the vanilia (?) stone and algae were no more put on the floor but suspended/floating in the water just below the surface . A little bit dangerous for my sub.

For anti-lag, i have tested 30 perharps 35 (don't remember) it was laggy. With 40 it was ok, but i did not fine tune it so much mod to test

Okay here is my mod loadout/order:



I am having the following problems, and its driving me nuts making me feel like not to even play anymore because it's so frusterating:

1. I have bands/lines in the sky especially after I speed up time. At night it looks like a painting.
2. When I am in my u-boat, I can see black that replaces the textures further down in the doors.
3. I can't even play the game completing anything. I tried patroling right in the area it asked even sunk an enemy ship (outside the lines) of costal waters, and have NO progress? Is the game broken? What do I need to do in order for the kills to count on the Costal Waters mission in Total Germany. Keep in mind i have UI-boat and OHII and I want to keep these.
4. I have no idea why the hydrophone still picks up contacts on surface! I have the sub_hydrophone_fix, and the no hydropphone_on_surface mod! It drives me nuts.
5. I see textures such as lights through waves. I tried sober's no see-through wake mod and it screwed up the graphics, wake. Is this an Nvidia problem, it looks terrible!
6. I would like some more realism. Ui-boat is buggy meaning it gives you sonar ping which is un realistic, along with some other options. And it says it in english when you order a command through the icons. however I know reaper's excellent mod he was forced to stop adding on it, so left for what we have oh well. However, it is beyond silly I come up to a DD about 8k away and he doesn't even see me. I would like how it was back in SH3 GWX 3.0 Gold, with the realistic damage and everything. I had some mods but I can only be compatible with so much.
7. I thought travel mode would allow you to skip radio messages, but it doesn't, so it gets annoying after a while. Also, the radio messages that come up are with English, and sound affects unrealistic!
8. Isn't the fuel value way to high for a U-boat? Seems like I could cruise forever.

Anyways I know that was a lot, all of these problems just kill my immersive experience and frusterate the heck out of me.. If you all could jump in and help me get it to where its a stable realistic experience I would be very grateful. Also because of everyone's magnicifant work with mods, I plan to come out with a few of my own in the future, to give back to the community.


For all these strange graphical distortions I'm getting, here are my system specs:

Windows XP Professional
Intel Pentium D CPU 3.00 GHZ
3.5G Ram
NVidia Geforce 9800 GT (1 gig DDR Memory) NOTE: <---- I have latest drivers
Direct X: 9c

Can you confirm that you have updated to v1.2 and are not using a fixed exe

Good question

Not needed ;
Unterseeboot II SFX
Sober's Smaller Water Drops v4 >> included in Dynamic Environment
FX Update should be activated before IRAI and Irai before NewUIs - but this is the instructions for NewUI.
IF it's the case even for the Ui-boat as well I don't know. If so the FX Update and IRAI should be activated before the Ui-boat. Maybe Reaper can help us with this?
In the mean time - try this loadout. I've run it with the Ui-boat and it works fine.
Miss some mods? Google their name + the word 'subsim'
If you'd like I can try to help you out tomorrow with some links.

Plus run the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe to check if you're updated to v1.2.
