The Wolves of Steel: Bugs, glitches and issues thread

It takes a week or more to load an external torpedo into the sub, this is with the last version of TWoS on a clean install. Even clicking the torpedoman and turning on that ability does nothing, is there a value in a config somewhere I can check to see where this is based in?

This is probably the better place to put this.

The game crashing was fixed by using the DVD sh5.exe

However now, when I get on board the boat, and set slow ahead
it crashes. Very wierd.

I set up a brand new campaign, took my mission, boarded the boat, checked the TDC was fully manual now (yay); and set slow ahead to leave port and crash!

[EDIT - 1]: So I tried again. Started a new patrol in new campaign, periscope went up in the Uboat pen, I pressed PgDn to lower it, and the game crashed
to desktop again. Does this mod actually work at all???? I'm just having no luck at all with it.

[EDIT - 2]: I removed all mods from TWoS_JSGME app, and ran SH5 again. Splash screen showed WoS. Started new campaign again, set to Happy times.
Took the first mission, started patrol. Lowered the periscope, and started to plot a course. I got as fat as laying the course to just outside the harbour and
it crashed. No mods! I'm at a complete loss!

Read carefully description of the "external torpedo reserves transfer" ability...

Yeah, I figured out the REAL bug with loading external torps, and will go back to pretending they don't exist.

I still need help with this:

I am using the DVD sh5.exe from the forum, and installed exactly as recommended. It still crashes though. even if I remove all the TWOS mods from JSGME it still crashes.

Hi NS
Have you installed the gps file in the patcher?
Stock game runs ok?
Updated game to v1.2?

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. The game is 1.2. The stock game ran fine before I put WoS on, though it had no manual tdc which made it crap. I don't know what you mean by GPS and Patcher? I have the DVD sh5.exe that u put me onto.

Hi NS
Part of the TWoS installation is to restore the gps file from the Snapshot Folder from TDW's Generic File Patcher.
TWoS would have installed a desktop shortcut for you to install the (GFP)

Thanks. I hadn't done that, but it is done now, and it still crashes the moment I try to leave port. Also the hud is missing.
