Cool, but don’t forget to do it each time you go back in bunker during your career.

That's really not necessary...

1. Operating System, System spec ?
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
2. What is your version of the game ? (DVD, Uplay download, Steam, other ?)
DVD
3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems.
Installed the game form the DVD, ran the updater to v1.2.0 and tested the vanilla game and all worked good.
4. Provide a screenshot which will show all content and installation path of your main Silent Hunter 5 install folder.
5. Describe briefly your mod installation process and specify any error messages you've got during the installation.
Installed The Wolves of Steel 2.2_SH5 Expansion Pack_v2.2.7_Full exe and fired up SH with admin rights. Game stopped working after few minutes. Bitdefender quarantined sh5 exe and a bunch of other files associated with SH claiming Atc4.Detection threat.
6. Confirm that you have checked for solution in provided install instructions and other documentation?
Searched the forum but did not find any related posts.
7. Specify mods you're using and state your mod order (do not type the list manually, use "Export activated mods list to" JSGME function).
The Wolves of Steel 2.2_SH5 Expansion Pack_v2.2.7_Full
8. If you use any unsupported mods, remove them, reinstall your game/TWoS completely according to install instruction, start new campaign and make sure that the issue still persist.
9. 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?
I know the game stopped working because the sh5 exe and other related files were quarantined by Bitdefender, but is this a false positive?
10. Upload several screenshots and gamesaves where problem can be observed.

I know the install instructions strongly recommends deactivation during the installation. I did keep Bitdefender running during the installation with no issues. My issue began while running the mod for the first time.

Absolutely false positive.

Probably your AV does not react very well on a "new" SH5 executable which has been modified by TDW Generic Patcher. You should talk with Bitdefender support and submit the files for the analysis so that they can update their database...

Until than, it's up to you will you ignore the warnings and play the game or wait for official bitdefender confirmation about FP detection.

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm to old to talk to Bitdefender but still young enough to play SH. I must figure away around the AV now. I have already made a clean installation of the vanilla and excluded the entire Silent Hunter 5 folder from any future AV scans plus fired up the game and started playing the intro campaign.
I have deleted all the quarantined files the AV, so I should be able to restore any files blocked by the AV when I install the The Wolves of Steel mod again.

I assume as the author of the mod that you don't take any responsibility should my rig explode?

SubmarinerJoe · 10-27-18, 01:10 PM

Just tried to install this and apparently did something wrong since I am still getting put into the tutorial when I start a new campaign.

Dumb initial question, do you still start the game through steam after you've installed the mod? That is what I have been doing and I'm not sure if that is the problem.

8. If you use any unsupported mods, remove them, reinstall your game/TWoS completely according to install instruction, start new campaign and make sure that the issue still persist.
> No additional mods

9. 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?
Reproduce: Start the game in 3440x1440 resolution.

Description: Map on starting screen (in the boat hangar) is on the top left of the screen. As it's only possible to resize the map to the top and right, there is no way to get the map opened in a reasonable size. I can't move the map as well.

In another thread the same problem is described, but in-game. In-game you have a button to toggle the map (TAI visibility). This toggles the map to the bottom left which means you may resize it as needed. Works as described. But this button is not not be found on the starting screen.

Also this makes navigating the main map (where to pick the missions) pretty hard. As the small map is controlling the main map, navigating in the main map via mouse is not possible. I can use the arrow keys and I finally succeeded in accepting the first mission. But it was not funny...

(I messed with all resolution related settings that I could think of: fullscreen/windowed, VSync on/off, 60/75Hz etc. Issue always the same.)

This behaviour does not occur in game where the main map works as exptected and the mini-map may be toggled with the button, so no issues in-game.

10. Upload several screenshots and gamesaves where problem can be observed.

Save Game(s): http://bernhard-schlick.at/images/SH5/sh5.zip

I started yesterday (Feb 9) with the vanilla game completing the first (tutorial mission) and stopped in the first official mission. Today (Feb 10) I installed WoS mod and started new campaign. I saved this new campaign right at the very start using "WoS1" as file name.

Thecoroner · 04-12-19, 11:15 AM

Hello, I just did a fresh install of the game + Twos mod 2.2 and I cannot use the hydrophone. At hydrophone station isn't not possible to turn the wheel to listen.

I didn't find any thread on this. Maybe too old.

Can anyone help?

Everything else looks to work great.

Ivanhoe03 · 06-01-19, 03:03 PM

When ordering silent running the crew keeps talking loud and doesn't whisper. This is not a huge gameplay problem bu it really breakes some of the immersion. Is there any way to fix this?

Baraa22 · 02-12-20, 01:32 PM

2. I got it on Uplay and steam?
3. Aye

My Auto target ID isnt working, it worked before but after a new patrol or loading of my save, it just stopped working. The entire option isnt there.

NiceSub · 06-26-20, 03:09 AM

Hello there,
I am having the bug as per below:
1. Operating System, System spec?
Windows 10 x64 1909, system ROG G712LWS
2. Version of the game ? (DVD, Uplay download, Steam, other ?)
DVD
3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems.
Fully updated stock game

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!
I dont use anything outside TWOS package, however I did reinstall few times already

5. Confirm that the Generic Patcher is correctly activated and the snapshot is successfully restored (Install instructions, step 2).
AFAIK, yes and see screenshots:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/aSSRAX5oUYC3rEse6

6. Provide a screenshot of your main Silent Hunter 5 installation folder and it's content!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/aSSRAX5oUYC3rEse6
7. JSGME screenshot!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/aSSRAX5oUYC3rEse6
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?
I played this game before with this mod so I know what to expect but I admin I did not play this one in a year or so.

Anyway, I am doing training mission where I have merchant coming from east going to west and I am the boat will have nice 90deg firing solution.

Now whenever I use the stadimeter either via TDC dials or officer window and I take measure the distance to target that get set in TDC but all previous values that I may have entered such as speed and AOB get reset. This is very annoying especially when target is closer and you are doing final TDC update and then you find yourself you have to re-enter everything.

Quite annoying bug and I dont recall having this issues year ago. Is this new bug? I reinstalled everything and still I find the same issue.

I understand the range is not that important for firing solution especially if gyro is 0 but there will be cases where gyro will not be 0 and I will need range working.

I did some more testing around this and discovered the following:

After I input range I see the message in the message box that my navigator is trying to compute a firing solution. The input of range triggers that action.

once that happens if I go to my officer command and press button reset firing solution it restores all of my data keeping the range input as well.

9. Upload several screenshots and gamesaves on which problem can be observed.
I dont have any savegame as I did this in TDW Torpedo attack under historical missions. As for the screenshots nothing really to show other then TDC having AOB 0 and speed 0 when I set the range using stadimeter. The AOB and speed get back and range measurement is retained if I go to my officer and click reset solution button.

Hi

so I have the following problem with the TWoS.

1. Operating System: Win 10.
2. DVD.
3. Game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and the vanilla game works without problems (also I followed instructions from this: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...&postcount=453). Also before I was playing the game with other mods loaded manually via JSGM and game was just fine.

The game is installed outside the Program files folder; it's just C:Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 5

4. no other mods

5. the Generic Patcher is correctly activated and the snapshot is successfully restored; I don't know if that makes a big difference but I had to select separately a path to every file (patch);

6. But the main problem is with the game after loading screen, because after several re-installations I always end up with this (pic) or just the CTD.
