I'll try again then. It's probably the update you mentioned, as I assumed the game would be updated by Ubisoft when I reinstalled it. I gather it isn't?

No need to assume anything. Game version is shown in the upper right corner of your main menu...

Also: go to your sh5.exe in the main folder of the game. Right click on sh5.exe. See the "Properties/Details" of the file. You should see "version: 1.2.0.0".

Best regards.

Hi Guys and apologies if this has already been covered.

I love this SH5 Add-On but it takes me 20 minutes or so to access the game. I know you have to be patient and there's a warning about getting a blank screen for 5 minutes or so, but 20 minutes!!!! At first I thought the game had crashed but not so and the game interface eventually appears.

I've no idea what TWoS is up to during that time but there's very little HDD activity as far as I can tell.

My PC isn't the latest and greatest but it's a Core I-7 (3.40GHz) with 16GB RAM and an NVidia GTX1070 graphics card.

Is there anything at all that I can do to speed up the TWoS loading time?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

If you really are desperate to speed up load times you can disable SOAN (TWoS ship recognition manual) - this will make game load very quick but you lose all useful info that comes with SOAN. To try this load OFEV application, open TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py, find SOAN and change it from true to false.

Duke748 · 04-15-19, 01:41 PM

Hey Guys

Thanks for the speedy responses, much appreciated

It's sounding like 20minute loading times aren't uncommon then.

How do you disable the SOAN thing?

Crikey!!! Disabling SOAN makes a hell of a difference, loads instantaneously now

Thanks for the tip.

bstanko6 · 04-15-19, 02:12 PM

What is SOAN?

Just ship recognition manual?

Ships Of All Nations aka the recognition handbook as it appears in TWoS though I have no idea if disabling it doesnt also turn off some targeting related functions. I have it off because at the moment I'm modding the game rather than playing it, so it makes no difference to me except for fast load times.

For my game, black screen when loading game is 4 minues with SOAN on, and like 5 seconds with SOAN off.

Hi Vecko,

I stumbled on a little error in TWoS roster:

Polish destroyer ORP Wicher is inaccurately represented in game by Type 34 model, which it didn't resemble at all. Real ORP Wicher was copy of French Bourrasque, which we fortunately also have in game - replacing current model with Bourrasque clone would give Wicher its historical appearance:
WW2 ORP Wicher photo

I guess using Type 34 might be result of confusion with post-war, Soviet-built ship of the same name which did resemble Type 34

Photo of post-war ORP Wicher

--------------

Similar situation with another Polish destroyer ORP Grom, which uses Tribal class 3D model, when real ORP Grom (photo) was more similar to (also present in game) R-Class destroyer (photo). And again, the only ORP Grom with two stacks like Tribal and similar bow shape is post-war ORP Grom from 1950, also built in USSR (photo)

After quite a few years I've finally returned to SUBSIM and after installing SH5 and TWOS I must say.....I'm totally dazzled! With so much time away from Uboats the learning curve is pretty steep but I'm loving every second of the challenge.

My one problem, so far, is that I can get almost no markings or Icons to show on either the TAI or Navigator's Map for than seconds.

If I ask the navigator for our present position after a brief wait it will show in the TAI chart. If I have my map tools marker in hand and mark the the small circular blue dot showing my position then that mark will remain; if not it disappears in about 30 seconds.

Can anyone tell me how I can make marks, icons, etc. remain on the map for a usable amount of time? If it might be involved in the problem I'm using Real Navigation

Thanks in advance shipmates,
Quink
