Firewall, anti virus or similar crap maybe?

I do not have my glasses on, is that a Steam install Admiral Lutjens? You have to start the game in Stock once so that you can input the license key, then you can do TWoS, but be sure and use the Steam conversion when you get to it...

In first mission, TWoS 2.2.9 with Real Nav enabled - it's 8:30, Sept. 01 1939 and the war has not started... or at least my sub didn't get the radio message about start of hostilities.

While I am happy for the world to avoid all this unnecessary bloodshed, I suspect there might be something wrong with my radio settings. Haven't really changed anything except for disabling the checkbox in Journal for crew messages appearing (to avoid cluttering my KTB with 99 reports of sighting the same fishing vessel and STILL being in shallow waters).

EDIT: Re-enabled the checkbox and it seems fixed - next radio message from BdU has appeared.

Hi Vecko
Had to give up on real navigation.
Re-installed SH5
Downloaded v2.2.10 full version
Still the same problem with the navigator not performing his automatic map plotting.
I only get the first plot when the game starts the rest I have to do myself using the navigators icons.
I might go back later and be prepared to do it all myself.
In the meantime I am going to try the new version out using "silentotto"

Have you tried disabling/re-enabling the auto-plot script?

THEBERBSTER · 02-24-19, 02:21 PM

Hi gap
Thank you for the answer. It has been awhile since I played with real navigation and the script should give me the second plot fix from the navigator when enabled.

Did you match script time index with your current in-game time?

Just tested Real nav "Position on patrol" scripts in my and game and everything was working fine...

I think I've found a little bug in radiomessages.txt for month 08.1939:

The "to" field in all messages in this file is left blank, and it seems to cause them not reaching the player. Since we start campaign on 31.08 only the last message from this file (Instructing German forces to start operations against Poland at 4:45) would ever be received, but it's kinda important one

I changed the "to" field to "player" and the message now appears at correct time when I start a campaign.

TWoS version 2.2.9

dark270 · 02-25-19, 03:59 PM

hey, I do have a question, the game started out fine, running the disc version, all updated and started a game with 2.2.9 and updated about early 1940(in-game)
now I got the message to not dock,(base change till June 7th, 1940) game seem to crash whenever I look at the captain's hat (right top menu) so I avoided it and made a few saved games along the way, now I can't even reload saved games, only from between dates, I can go back farther, and its ok

any ideas? maybe an issue with 2.2.9 going to 2.2.10?
running windows 10 and a computer i built, no issues any other place.

bstanko6 · 02-25-19, 09:16 PM

You cannot update mid campaign. I’ve tried on many ways to do this. If you update you must start new campaign.

THEBERBSTER · 02-26-19, 04:29 AM

Hi Vecko
Not a game problem, I just simply forgot about running the script.
