Hi SgtPotato
Only the ship upgrades and new shader for better caustics.
Have you tried antilag

Hi Forensicman
No - it does have an addon to increase tonnage requirements.
It is not like the stock campaign - try it and see

Thanks Bidou and welcome to subsim

I think the tonnage requirement missions should be completely removed. Just a patrol order or some other mission types (spy insertion etc.) should be left in, to make it more realistic.

I'd also like to know how you're supposed to hunt in a wolfpack. I have no map contacts so I don't know when there is a wolfpack nearby. Shouldn't there be some kind of a message that tells me to be somewhere at a certain time in order to link up with a pack?

Yes that would be good - but hard to do
It would require the removal of the star/cross achived syatem and be replaced by date only.

I will have a think if this could be done

try looking in my profile - I have made a thread with pics how this is done.
With no map contacts - do you not still get radio contacts

I am testing a new layer where when you enter a map zone a trigger is created.
This will cause a few events to occur.
Radio message
Spawn wolfpack
Spawn convoy
Spawn convoy shadow (u-boat following the convoy)

Progress is slow

I do, I forgot about that, sorry.

the antilag fix doesn't seem much help. However, here's my mod list:

Hi Sgt,

1. Make sure you have patched the SH5 to 1.2. You see the version in the upper right corner of the Main Menu in the game. It should say 1.2.0
If not run the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe

2. Make sure you have put the Antilag d3d in; C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

3. Set the antilag.cfg to RenderAheadLimit=3/FPSlimit=36 and let's see what effect it has on your FPS.

4. Replace the ' Open Horizons Full v1.5' with ' OPEN HORIZONS II_base v1.5'. The 'Full' version can be very demanding and is heavy on your CPU and RAM.

I've made a few changes to the load order - added recommended other mods or taken some of them away just because the features are included in other mods eg. the OPCF (Filters can be set ingame in NewUIs TDC).
