It's a common knowledge which every sailor should know...
Google a bit Latitude, Longitude and Coordinates ...
Also maybe, this picture with example coordinates can help you a bit...

Hello,

I have a question: Can I change the campaign mission objective (e. g. between 'British supplies' and 'German blockade') on the fly via editing? Or do I really have to end my patrol and request the new order from the blue dude on the docks.
Thank you.

Best,
Brett

Hi Brett

Can I change the campaign mission objective (e. g. between 'British supplies' and 'German blockade') on the fly via editing?

That is a good question, but not one I can answer unfortunately.
vdr1981 with his TWOS would I am sure know the answer. to your question.

An option you do have is to select any of the Campaign by starting a New Career.
You cannot transfer your old crews abilities or keep any promotion points.
Any Campaign you select starts with a novice crew.
If you select for instance a 1943 Campaign your inexperienced crew will be up against a much more experienced enemy until they have completed some of the missions.
Your selected Campaign will end and the next Campaign will start at the appropriate date and time.

When you start a New Career you see the default Campaign 'Coastal Waters'.


To select any Campaign just type in silentotto in the area where you see my mouse curser.
You then see all the Campaigns.
Select your realism setting.
Click on the Campaign you wish to use.
Press Start Game.


Remember to do your bunker save before starting the first mission.

Thank you.
For now I play the game without the Wolfs of Steel mod and it works surprisingly well. I now changed the objective to 'Blockade of Germany' in port and raided Scapa Flow for armed merchant cruisers,

Best,
Brett

How to roll back your GPU Driver to a previous version.

If you have just experienced a black screen when starting your Silent Hunter game then a Windows update will have changed your GPU Driver to a later version.

This tutorial will show you how you can get your game back.

Picture 1 > Go to the Windows start Icon in the bottom left hand corner.


Picture 2 > Click on the Settings Icon.


Picture 3 > Click on System.



Picture 4 > Click on Display Adaptor Properties.
This will show the Adaptor Tab.


Picture 5 > Click on Properties.


Picture 6 > Change from General to Driver Tab.
The Driver Tab shows various options available to you.
Update Your Driver is worth considering as it may fix the problem.


Picture 7 > Option 3 is to Roll Back Driver.


If this is not greyed out as in the picture then this option is available to you and recommended.
The Roll back process takes less than a minute to do this.
Click on ‘Close’ to finish the process.
Restart your system.

You now need to make changes to your GPU settings as these will have been removed in the roll back process.
Got to Tutorial Post #239 to do this.
Post #239 Changing The Nvidia GPU Settings > Essential Settings

How To Change Your Games Renown

This tutorial will show you how to increase your Renown so you can buy more equipment without having to earn it.

This is not cheating in my opinion as new equipment would have been fitted to existing U-Boats at a convenient time as it became available.

To make these changes you need to have 2 saved games 00000000 the master and your last one.
Your last saved game means the one from your last gaming session by Date and Time.
The changes are done in the Notepad.

Follow the paths until you find each Notepad.

Follow the instructions as showing in each of the pictures.
The amount of Renown you choose to enter is entirely down to you.

Picture 1 > Example of existing Renown.


Picture 2 > Zero entered to increase Renown amount.


Picture 3 > Close the File


Picture 4 > Save the change.


You need to make all 5 changes in the same format as showing.
