Try this only if you have at least 2 GByte of RAM and at your own risk and using Vista/Win7 32 bit version.
First download the explorer from http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php
Next make a backup copy of SH5.exe. Then start "CFF Explorer" and open the orginal SH5.exe file.
Now go to NT Header/File Header and click File Header. There you will find a button labeld "click here". Click it and select the mark at "App can handle> 2gb adressest "
Save the modified EXE, overwrite the orginal one (You do have your backup of it in a safe location right?).
If you run Windows Vista 64 or Windows XP 64 or Win7 64 you're ready and didnt need to read on. The rest is only for Windows Vista 32/Win7 32 or maybe Windows XP.
Now make Windows Vista/Win7 (32-Bit) ready to support more than 2 GByte.
Open a command prompt with Administration rights. You find it under "Programs->Accessories->Command prompt" click right and select "run as administrator".
Enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" (without quotes) in the command window and press enter.
After that restart windows

To reset back to 2GB limit:
to reset the Increased User Adressspace just start the commandline prompt with Admin right again and enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2048"

See if the above helps at all

Another idea is to install previous version of DirectX ( < v11). I have Win7 64bit but ALWAYS install previous DirectX versions for compatibility reasons. Go to Microsoft's website and search for DirectX. Run the DirectX web installer from their website. You can have DirectX9 AND DirectX11 installed on Win7.

EDIT:

just checked the sh5.exe file and it's large address aware so enabling the 3GB switch in 32bit OSs should help:

Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 9.00.30729.01

Dump of file sh5.exe

Thx stoianm and Trevally.

Hi TheDarkWraith!
Once through the free camera there was a strange situation with IRAI: when a plane plunged into the boat immediately, but the plane continued to see the boat and fired its machine guns, although the boat has long been located at a depth of 90 m.

Yes this is a problem with the plane AI. There is only one function available for whether the plane has a contact or not. This function says yes or no as to whether it does. I cannot determine the depth of the contact (like you can with ships) and thus if the plane has a contact it will attack it (if it has bombs or torpedoes available). Doesn't matter if the contact is at 3000m or -300m the plane will still try to attack it This can only be fixed by the devs via a patch.

I'm running this with TDW's UI/TDC mod and the "U-boat Historical Specs" mod.

My order is this:

1 NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7_TDW
2 U-boat Historical Specifications
3 IRAI_0_0_30_TDW

I noticed that IRAI overwrites some files in the historical specs mod. Is this going to be a problem?

I had a strange problem with this mod (it was in MO) but i guess its the same AI mod. sometimes the escorts ignore me. One time i made a submerged attack and i struck a couple of targets. The escorts where in the back of the convoy and just kept sailing at slow speed with no interest in tracking me down even though it was good weather. The other situation was when i was attacking on the surface when fog. I could barely see the ship but attacked a few. I killed 5 ships and there was 1 escort . But the escort just kept sailing in the front of the convoy and also showed no interest in finding out what was happening behing him.

IRAI assigns escorts duties randomly. It's quite possible that these escorts in the back were assigned to guard convoy or protect convoy and as such they have to stay with the convoy until you come within a certain range of it.

If an escort is leading a convoy and it's the only escort then yes it will just keep leading the convoy. Beware airplanes though as it will be radioing for help via air cover and from other warships in the area.
