Hey gents. Recently tried installing TWoS only to be constantly met with this issue.

I've got the steam version of the game so i feel like that may be the issue but i've tried literally everything that i could find but haven't seen any improvement.

Every time i try a new method of installation i have 100% totally uninstalled all trace of the game so i honestly don't know what else to try.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Change game installation location and try again but with full administrations rights...Good luck!

I dont think Steam was the problem but anyway, I'm happy you've managed to solve the problem...

Barsy's problem looks like a video driver / windows issue, or maybe missing one of the first steps of the install. I can't really see his images very well, partially due to my eyes not being able to see smaller images so well on this larger screen I now have...

- oldmanitis. I am uglier than Jeff-Groves, btw... When I first went to do TWoS years ago on my Steam copy, I was attempting to update an SH5.exe file that was already updated. Similar to trying the same in SH3, that can "trash" the install and result in a failed mod install, though the game seemingly attempts to run. Doing the GFP correctly is imperative also. Read the "The Wolves of Steel X.x_Install instructions.pdf" thoroughly.

Playing Wolves of Steel Mod.

I'm on patrol. Spotted a merchant.
Began working on calculating distance, angle, etc.
Switched back and forth between the UZO and the attack periscope, and the bridge, and somewhere in between these switching of perspective, I lost my TDC dials. All the dials on the left (settings for torpedo depth, speed, type, etc.) and on the right (stadimeter, periscope orientation, etc.) are all gone.

I must have inadvertently clicked on something that hid all the dials, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what I did.

Is there a "hide/show tdc dials" button somewhere that I have to press to get the dials back?

EDIT: SOLVED

There was a recent autosave. I reloaded, and my dials and everything are all back where they should be.
