I downloaded the installer 4 times, and always get the same error: "Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation." This always happens when the installer is extracting TWoS Env Settings - Brighter Nights. This happens with the DVD and the Steam versions. Any ideas?

Hi drexvil, do you have winrar installed on your PC?

nonnobit · 04-13-20, 04:03 PM

Oh yesss...
For anyone who told me to read transfer instructions, sure I read it, but I learned yesterday by myself that during transfer , u boat stops even if engines are ahead flank, till to the end of transfer, and it means when transfer icon disappears...so u have to wait end of ability ,not only when u see torpedoes are inside sub...sorry for my impatience...
However gameplay stability is very delicate, so I mention another thing I noticed: I navigated to English coast to sink ships in port, and as soon as second torpedo sinks a particular ship, CTD occourse...because after target identification , game marks that ship as leader of a convoy...
We are here to learn and enjoy, and that's even for fantomatic teachers...

That shouldn't be happening in TWoS. Are you sure you didn't corrupt your installation with some custom mods?

Hi Vdr!
I changed nothing or custom anything, just changed some TDW options,of course in port, about ship's identification, to have ship and speed model in the right bottom as soon as my officer identifies ship. "Item notes enabled"
So I have an idea of speed before AOB.
By the way, I've just closed SH5 with a message of " Failed transfer orders" :
I'm in patrol for more than a month, sinking enemy, fighting against airplanes, refit in Heligoland and waiting to come back to Willemhaven NOT before 7 June of 1940, as recommended by BdU.
I saved progress as recommended and tomorrow I'll tell u what Doenitz wants to do about my 90.000 tons of ships sunked...
I hope everything goes well, because if I should use "silentotto" , seems to me that I can't keep any crew skill and boat's upgrades...
Maybe in that case should I restart from the first Campaign?

Ciao from Genoa

I don't think I understand you well enough Sir. Can you tell me what should I do exactly in order to reproduce that torpedo hit/sinking CTD you've mentioned in your previous post?

No I don't, is winrar necessary for installation? I have the superior 7-zip.

It shouldn't be necessary. Try to open and test the archive with 7zip, see what happens.
