Well, yeah! I even just now reinstalled it to make sure I had the right path. Same thing.

I tried reinstalling the game from scratch. Now I can't even get in-game in vanilla before it crashes. I knew this game was a buggy mess, but I never expected this absolutely hellish experience lol


EDIT: OK, All uninstalled now and gone with the wind. Never touching Ubisoft/UPlay or their games again. Ima wait for UBoat instead for my WWII itch. I'm never touching this disaster area of a game again. Geez!

Thanks to you who tried to help me at least. Cheers.


Edit2: So I didn't give up after all. Because what would Churchill have said about that! I tried reinstalling it a third time. And now, all of a sudden it works like a charm. With Wolves of Steel and all. Never give up lol

Hello All,

I'm having an issue where my attack periscope and UZO will not zoom. Attack periscope is stuck in 1.5x zoom and UZO at 7x. Using the mouse wheel does nothing when using either of those two. The mouse wheel zoom works for the observation periscope and binos on the bridge, so I'm unsure why it won't zoom in with the attack scope and UZO. I've searched around and could not seem to find anyone with this issue.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

And I guess you did everything exactly the same this time...Must be Gremlins, human factor is never the issue when it comes to modding. I learned so much by now...

The UZO is not zoom-able, but scopes should be...

Ok, that explains the UZO, user error But I still have the issue with the attack periscope. I'm still not 100$ familiar with everything TWoS mod changes with regards to UI, but I compared my game with some Youtube videos to try and catch any issues. I noticed my periscope still has those green crosshairs in addition to the black ones. They overlap so I'm assuming they're not supposed to be there which leads me to believe there's an issue there that's causing my problem? I'll post screens of periscope and UI along with my mod list.

Additionally, should I have more depth/control options in the bottom left corner? Currently there's only "decks awash", "snorkle depth", and "dive" as quick options.

You've got to be kidding me? Good by to you Sir and happy "bug" hunting. This is a thread for TWoS and not for messed up modlists...

Ouch.. Wow ok, well I'm fairly new to modding this game with TWoS mod, so sorry I'm not up to speed with how everything works...

That being said, all I did was load "sobers 1421 23012017" mod profile into JSGME and disabled real nav/map to highlight another issue I was having... So as far as I knew, there was no issue with the mod list.

I'm approaching this with honest ignorance and after trying to research the issue myself decided to reach out to the community, my mistake.........

Download TWoS 2.2.11 FULL VERSION, install on SH5 1.2 via the autoinstaller, use OFEV (Option File Editor Viewer) to adjust your tastes in gameplay, add the included addon mods for TWoS and that is all. If you want to play with TWoS, don´t make your own modlist. TWoS is an independent compilation of mods and tweaks; you can´t mix apples with eggs with SH5

Regards.
