Time Compression keeps dropping - Wolves of Steel mod

[maillemaker]

My Time compression maxes out at 128 and then drops to 1. If I run at 64x, it will stay there, but as soon as I bump up to 128, it drops back to 1. Sometimes I can finally crank up the TC, but normally not.

Any ideas why not? It's boring to crawl along trying to get home or out to the theater.

This happens to me near land It's an indicator of something close, like the computer telling me to "look around dumby!" Once you clear the land it should speed back up.

Well, I am running near Kiel. Maybe the water is not deep enough?

Expand the UI at the TC controls, there is another TC thing below. I dunno what it's for, but increasing let me TC faster.

The TC settings for TWOS can be seen on the threads post #1.

If you are not happy with these settings then just customise to suit your game play.

Some of the 1 settings I have changed to 4 except aircraft.

I do not use travel mode as it is intended but can be useful at times to have a second setting where only 1 is showing and can be switched on and off as required.

TC1 in a friendly area is like watching paint dry.

My TC is maxed out at 256,512 as I use real navigation.

I did a re-install. As I recall there were some TC settings in the options editor but I don't remember.

Anyway right now my max TC is 1024.

I miss SH3 and being able to jack it up to 4000+. I'm only really interested in the boat dropping out of TC when the watch has spotted bad guys.

Hello THEBERBSTER, thanks a lot for all the helpful stuff you have posted!

I just started SH5 TWOS 3 days ago, first time playing SH since around 2007-2008. I'm having the same problem with TC as the thread starter. I had a look in the pinned posts but cannot find the post you are referring to.

Please can you link me? I would like to change TC so I can use it when approaching harbors etc.

yep, shallow water ships nearby, land nearby, it all drops your TC so you dont end up dry in the middle of an island or sail right into a ships hull and sink yourself

That's really annoying when you're navigating at the baltic sea, which is full of friendly contacts. It makes me want to sink friendly ships just because they are stalling the time compression.

I got it resolved by changing the limit from 128x to 1024x in OptionsFileEditorViewer

****Hint Hint***

I have found:
If the TC drops to 1 and you are not near land, It usually is a sign that a Convoy is close by
