SH5: Bugs, glitches, and issues thread

[Pififtyone]

So I just got Silent Hunter 5 Gold edition, because I had it with an old account, and after I downloaded it and tried to play it, no icon appeared on the task bar. But a window opened up and started playing the opening titles and intro video, upon reaching the end of the video the windows closes and Uplay says that the game is not running. Any help? I run it off GTX 950M

Try opening the game file and clicking on the exe.

I know I'm late and I've been trying to work my way through the mods and get a stable version of 5 up and running. I've seen this issue, but it's usually resolved with "don't get a pirated version." I bought mine off steam but still have the issue; I can sink a lot of ships and the tonnage shows up in my captains log, but the bar doesn't fill and I can't complete the missions.

I'm running the basic essential list found here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=203711

I don't really care much about a lot of the mods I just want to get a stable version running.

My computer runs windows 10 but I don't know how to check other specs; I know that it's a powerful computer that doesn't have issues running games. If you need more than that I can try to find it and instructions would help. I've installed JSGME and am using it to enable the mods and think I'm doing it right (moved the mods i want over to the right, hit close, then started SH5) but I haven't noticed any difference when I run SH5. Any help you could give would be appreciated; I feel like this game has a lot of potential it's just unplayable for me right now.

The tonnage bar and campaign icons are broken in SH5.
Use this fix so you can use TDW's Generic File Patcher and then follow the tutorial on post #2.

When you have done this I would suggest that you use one of the following mega mods for game stability.

Just installed Wolves of Steel on Windows 10.
When I go to load any game even a new campaign I get the message:

The internet connection experiences problems and the current game was saved.

I only get the option to continue.
If I continue it creates a save and then throws the menu back at me.
If I hit escape here I go direcly back to the menu.

It will randomly load Wolves of Steel correclty (I've only got it to load corretly once) I don't know what took place to allow me to load this correctly but it did so.

Please help me get this going. I love the little bit of WOS I have been able to play.

Thanks in advance

This is becoming a frequent problem after installing.
Try using the > Esc key.
Alternatively, uninstall the game launcher from the Control Panel's Program and Features and replace it with this one which will allow you to install on any drive and in any folder.

Hey all ! Beautiful mod ! Really.

However. I have scoured the forum and cannot find solutions for two big problems I have atm.

1. The Compass image on Map (the see through one with which you make
course plots) as well as the protractor and ruler is the WRONG WAY
AROUND. That means the 0 (N) is at the bottom !!! And I am not on the
Southern Hemisphere for sure ! I would like to change the image by
rotating (flipping) it up. how do I mod that ?

2. Rotation speed of Deck cannon is way too slow for a proper '88. This has
not much to do with its crew though since they are at 80% now. Would
like to change those settings too but where ?


If I have put this in the wrong topic please help me put it in the right one

I am not an avid modder but have tweaked games before.
I am a regular veteran of IL2 CLOD Team Fusion Mod and SOW (Storm of War) server. Some of you might have seen me in the air there as the commander of KG54, flying my Ju-88 and He-111.

So basically I would like to solve the two immediate problems I encountered at this time.

Some minor issues

(I would like the event cam to work, changed in the main.cfg but at any event happening it does not function/start. I use it mainly in a cinematic manner [making a mini series of my SH5 game] )

(I would like to add more commands to the keyboard if possible, where do I tweak those settings)

(Speech control does not work because of Win 7 home Premium 64 bit Dutch version. (only some versions have it and not mine) Vistalizator gives problems so I am not using that. And since Win7 refuses to download updates these days basically i am ****ed)

That is all for now. Changed the ruler colors etc. via the TDW Generic patcher which worked. Just do not know where to go for that other stuff.

MAIN PROBLEM !

You can use the navigation maps draggable compass that is on the right side partially hidden by the icons.
The outer compass rotates.
The inner compass is the u-boat's
Right click with the mouse reverses the bearings.
The picture shows the reversed position.

Epically Awesome !!

I totally overlooked that disc !!! Thanks in a million !!!




For my other problems tweaks in the game should I ask that in a different thread ?

Best wishes

Hi Ashikaga
Yes, unless it is a bug or game glitch.
