Don't get any sight warnings

That's strange because TWoS doesn't have German texts and especially doesn't have the problem you've just described, regardless of travel mode...Check your modlist, don't alt-tab the active game, check TWoS quick start manual...Cheers!

Thanks for your answers. I'm using a german translation mod for WoS.



After ending my patrol all my gaurds are fresh at work and are reporting again. But now my sonar guy isn't able to detect two fast running passenger ships on closest range . I have the feeling that these problems appearing and disappearing as they want.



The sight reporting has nothing to do with the travel mode as I know.

You have dived and are on slow speed, right? Because on surface: no sonar contacts.

Yes, sure. My sonar man only reports if I tell him to follow the nearest contact.

He should tell you without your intervention, unless after a very tough stressed game sequence where the crew loses morale, in this case crew could perform poorly (thus the sonar man NOT reporting contacts he could otherwise.) Also every time a crew man gets injured, his behavior is bad...


But even with no 'stress', my sonar man will report contacts for merchands or warships in a fairly long range (often more than 20 km away if you stop all engines or go not more than 3 knots), so this means something is messed up with your TWoS installation. The doc states clearly that no external mod must be used with this megamod, if you infringe this then you are on your own and nobody can help you...
After TWoS 2.2.9, it is required that you start a new career after updating WoS, did you do that?



The best you could do is re-install the game and TWoS. Your savegames should still be usable, and if not (when you encounter problems) then start a new career.

Hi,

thanks for your replies.

The hydrophone-man is not injured and has enough moral points atm.

I‘ve also startet a new campaign after installing TWoS.

Yesterday I was on route to hunt at night into a british harbour and my crew spoted an escort when we were at a range of 1500m. A sunked escort and a few minutes later my crew „spotted“ a torpedo boat at about 500m. This is a ridiculous. This situation escaleted in a hunt for me with two destroyers and the torpedo boat. I told my sonar man to listen around: nothing, told him to report closest contact: I got the dates for the torpedo boat. Listening around is useless for me.

Today I will try to reinstall the game and the TWoS Mod without my german translation mod but I don‘t think that this mod is the reason for this situation.

Backup your savegame folder before re-installing (give it another name than SH5 in your Documents folder).

Has Travel Mode any function in WoS then? What if you deactivate it?



I guess OP is using the 'Deutscher Sprachpatch' which translates all menu.txt into German text. I don't use it because it messes-up with the names in the ID Book, but it will turn all messages and menus into German.
