The Wolves of Steel: Bugs, glitches and issues thread

LMD · 11-17-19, 06:02 AM

Hi 2 all!

It's been a while since I played SH5 and now I'm trying it with new TWoS. So far everything seems to be good except 1 disappointing message I have when in the bunker before campaign start.
But let's follow the treads rules before:
1. Operating System, System spec?
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
I7-6700K 4.00 GHz, 32 Gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 8 Gb GDDR5

2. Version of the game ? (DVD, Uplay download, Steam, other ?)
Uplay

3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems.
Yes, it's v1.2.0 and plays well wo mods

4. If you use any non-TWoS custom mods, remove them, reinstall your game/TWoS completely according to install instruction, start new campaign and make sure that the issue still persist!
No custom mods are installed

5. Confirm that the Generic Patcher is correctly activated and the snapshot is successfully restored (Install instructions, step 2).
Confirm and snapshot was restored successfully

6. Provide a screenshot of your main Silent Hunter 5 installation folder and it's content!

7. JSGME screenshot!

8. Make sure to provide as much details as possible when describing situation where problem/bug/CTD can be observed. What should we do in order to reproduce this issue?
When I start new campaign I make a fresh savegame, then quit the game, reload the savegame and the message with campaign advance problem appears. See step 9 for screenshot.

9. Upload several screenshots and gamesaves on which problem can be observed.

Previously I read here on the forum that it's still in a test phase so not to worry about https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...postcount=2245
So the question is it still in testing phase and I really don't need to worry about? Or did I smth wrong with installation and can I fix it?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you in advance!

It's OK. That will happen sometimes with enabled " Campaign Advance Verifier Testing" addon.

Read it's description and disable it for now...

Ok, guys, thank you for replies. You helped me to get rid of that annoying message

So I re-installed game with non-Uplay exe file (thank you so much THEBERBSTER) and ready to go sink'em all

Edit: So I found a copy of the DVD SH5.EXE. It must have fallen off the back of a truck. Here's what I notice. In file properties all three SH5.EXE files I have show the same version. All three files are not the same. Not the same checksum, not the same size. My old SH5.exe is from Jun 2018, well before the problems cropped up but it is not the same file as the dvd version of the SH5.exe. I'm gonna try the DVD version out and see what happens.

Has anyone see this before? Hours long sessions result in the corruption shown in the image, almost always followed by a crash when I try to save after the corruption starts happening. My initial SH5 install is from a a backup I had the foresight to make. It's completely clean (never run) copy downloaded from UBISoft with the 1.2.0.0 sh5.exe. I extract it to a directory, then "locate install" from UPlay. Then I run it once to initialize it and decline the update, entering into offline mode.

Would it be a better practice if I just downloaded the game again from ubisoft and then replaced sh5.exe with my 1.2.0.0 version?

I'm approaching my first patrol area and I fear I will not be able to actually complete a patrol in one session. This doesn't happen if I restart the game periodically.

Maybe I should try turning GSYNC off and disable my second screen when playing? My system runs it at over 100 fps unless im in Kiel.

Hello, I have a problem with the sounds in the game, that is, they are not fully played, they interrupt in the file, they work as I need, I have Windows 10.
In addition, why I, as a captain, have to get under the deck sooner than the crew. Every alarm draft must be under the deck
