The Wolves of Steel: Bugs, glitches and issues thread

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.

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!

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.

Hi NS
The DVD fix is this one.

Changing the SH5.exe will not make any difference as it is the DVD one the same as you have installed.
This fix needs a different game launcher.
The missing hud is a game installation problem or the L key has been pressed.

I give up! I spent all day 1pm to 7:30pm installing, reinstalling trying to get it to work. Only once did it
work, but all the in game menus were in german. Reinstall again and again and again,
now when I spawn in on new campaign there's all these black dialogues over the screen
in the sub pen and 1/4 of he screen is black and I can't get rid of. I correctly installed
it for the umpteenth time and it just keeps ****ing up. I have to say the installation method
is very buggy. I give up. Going back to SH4! Now I've got a bitch of a migraine!
If I was a noob I could understand it, but I did computer science at University!

Suggestion for future update of the patcher. Tell the patcher once, what folder to install in,
then just do all over them in one click.

thanks

Cheers
