Any feedback regarding this quick test?

Hi All,

It's been a loooong while that I've been out of commission. Started SH5 back up after watching Greyhound.

Installed it fresh from Uplay, installed the TWoS file as per instructions and ran the Generic File Patcher, followed instructions, but got this error:



I carried on through and completed the patching and instead of 9 patches, I only got 8:



I tried removing everything, clearing cache etc. and reinstalling, and the same thing happens. And when I try to start the game I get this error:



Please help!

Thanks

Good day
one of the problems may be that you have Ubisoft connect activated when generating the Generic patcher. Try turning it off.

Open Ubisoft Connect, select being offline, as well as shutting off it being allowed to auto update ANY thing at all.. then see to reinstalling & running TWoS to set up to the fresh install of SH5 from Steam.

This should resolve the issues your facing.

Yep yesterday I've done all the requested tests but today I was very busy ( and I'm arrived just some moments ago at home ) so I didn't have the time to upload/edit the images.
Tomorrow I'm at home, I'll report all the requested material

Here they are. ( I've uploaded them now I do not like to let wait people )

Notes

- No mods activated
- SOAN disabled for quick loading
- Same flag behaviour and same single mission reported previously. Faint navigation map markings. ( No black ones by default )
- SH3 Hud ( Enabled via OFEV )
- In OFEV several options changed following my game preferences ( Mainly about hotkeys and visible HUD stuffs )
- Patcher vanilla ( Completely untouched )
- TWoS Mod vanilla ( Completely untouched )
- Click on the images to enlarge them

JSGME



In-game, Ahead Standard, Both speed dial modes, Surfaced





In-game, Ahead Standard, Both speed dial modes, Persiscope Depth
*Images in sequence from top to bottom exactly as I've pressed the switch button below the speed dial after that I've initially ordered " Periscope depth, ahead standard ".

During/before the installation of TWoS, as indicated in a tutorial I've found on Steam, both Steam and the Ubisoft Connect were both fully closed ( Double checked also the tray icon several times before starting the installation procedure )

In addition I've noted that if you have already installed on your PC Ubisoft Connect the old U-play is not installed at all on the PC ( That is good IMHO ) even when downloading/install the vanilla game from Steam for the first time.

Hey, I selected being offline, then installed TWoS and the generic patcher, and the same thing happened.

I looked at my GP in the game for comparison and I have to ask. Why do you have all patches turned off? Did you do that or is it like this after activating GP?

The question is absolutely in place. No wonder that your game is not working correctly Viktor. All of your generic patches are disabled from some reason?? Did you read pdf install instructions? You have to restore the snapshot in order to properly activate GP...

Same for you Sir...Install instructions, especially "If you own ubisoft connect/digital download version" part...
Happy hunting!

You have the game stored elsewhere. You have modified the GP path to the game in cfg. files? Looks like no.

Not really. TWoS installer has a small app which will automatically recognise sh5 install path and generate apropriate gp cfg file with correct game location...

Done as indicated. I've restored the patcher snapshot and everything looks normal now ( Patches enabled in light blue ).
Strange somehow that also if officially disabled they were all working as per normal. ( At least in campaign missions )
Somehow, at least on my pc to let it work as planned ( Patches enabled in light blue ) I have to restore the snapshot manually otherwise, by default, after the fresh TWoS automatic installation, they are instead, as you have seen in my previous screenshots, all disabed ( but all working for some reason )

[Viktor_Prien]

...somehow some of the patches options seems to be still disabled. Can you double-check if they match with your? ( If no please indicate to me which one/s I have still to enable, thanks )

Here are mine current ones, I have opened only the still disabled ones, everythink else is enabled ( Click to enlarge the images )
In particular I'm interested about the one enabling the aircraft carriers and air bases able to spawn aircraft because in the readme file it says: " Place the folder SM_Carrier_Aircraft_Testing in your \MODS folder and enable via JSGME to test carriers spawning aircraft.
Place the folder SM_Airbase_Testing in your \MODS folder and enable via JSGME to test airbases spawning aircraft " but I do not know if they have been already included in TWoS or not and the ones about the 0 and 60 meters per second wind speeds. ( Are there any bad effects enabling this ones both or just one must be enabled? )

Don't get me wrong but that's not how GP work and I really can not see how could that be possible. Patches are enabled or disabled, they either work or don't, there is no third option...

Of course they are the same.That's the whole point of the snapshot...

[Viktor_Prien]

Ok thanks mate but so the aircraft carriers and the other stuffs indicated above can be enabled or not???
