So I got the newest Cheat Engine version 7.1,
Placed the SH5_FOV_Fix.ct in the Root Directory for convenience as you suggested, started SH5, loaded my save, tabbed out, made sure no other cheat engine was running, then ran the script. That prompt greeted me and I selected to not show itself again.
When it loads, it seems either stuck, or something, I do see the 3 FOV's, I also see the Hotkey menu, but there are no hot keys assigned or at least this is how it looks:

The Open menu is glowing as well not sure if one has to select the game afterwards manually, but looking at it in notepad++ I can see that it should do the getAutoAttachlist for "SH5.exe"


I do not know if it makes a difference but I do have the Steam Version of the game, I checked task manager and it does show up as sh5.exe though, so it should be fine.

Edit: If I load SH5 Manually, using the SH5_FOV_Fix.ct, it seems to be loading forever.

Make sure SH5 is running and you are in game before you alt tab out and open the SH5_FOV_Fix.CT file. The flashing attach to process button, don't worry about that, don't touch it, as long as the bar at the top says 'sh5.exe' with some numbers in front of it, that's good to go. Don't worry about the hotkey dialog box just move it off to the side, but don't close it either cause it will close Cheat Engine and it won't work. Click on the open Cheat Engine screen to make sure it's focused. In that screenshot you posted, you've got the 3 FOV boxes at the bottom. Hit the NUMPAD (the regular asterisk key won't work) asterisk key and you should see the boxes turn into circles with rotating scans in them. After a moment (takes about 5 seconds), one or more will lock in and change to an 'X'. Alt tab back into the game. If you don't see your FOV fixed, hit the NUMPAD (very important) asterisk key, wait a moment, if nothing, hit the NUMPAD 9 key, then hit the NUMPAS asterisk key again, your FOV should change.

It's very important you don't close Cheat Engine before going back into SH5 cause it won't work if you do close it.

If still no go, open and edit the script file and find where is says Cheat Engine 7.0 and change it to 7.1, I don't think that's an issue but worth a shot if you're still having problems. Let me know and we'll get it sorted. I had an issue when I was running it on 7.2, it wouldn't work at all. I haven't tested in 7.1 but it was created in that version so it should be OK. If still no go, uninstall version Cheat Engine 7.1 and install Cheat Engine 7.0.

Let me know, we'll get it sorted. Just tested on mine and it works, but my screen goes black cause it's way outside of my resolution.

That dialog box you select to 'not show again', you chose to always run unsigned scripts right? it looks ok cause in that screenshot I see the 3 FOV boxes in the lower left of the main Cheat Engine screen so it should be good. Hit the NUMPAD asterisk Key and see if the boxes change to spinny things. They should lock in after a moment. One or two boxes will change to and X and the others go blank. That means the script found the date and performed the operation on it. Don't forget to read my previous post.

Also take note, it can take around 5 seconds for the script scan to finish and the FOV to change after you hit the NUMPAD asterisk key, so press it and be patient.

Don't forget to read all my previous posts, I posted like 5 of them. Yeah, I know, I have issues. And I'm running The Wolves of Steel as well so no worries, it doesn't effect the FOV fix.

Its not effecting it?
Huh good to know, I'll deactivate everything else then and see if it makes a difference, I have some minor additional mods, maybe real navigation?

I'll report back after running the game just with TOS and nothing else.


Edit: Unfortunately the Black Map Still Remains.
My guess is that its probably IO_StrategicMap_7_5_0_for_TDWv750, I'll have to mess around with it.

Edit 2: The Map Turns Black with or without using the FOV Fix. It changes to Black when I tab out. I have an Idea though, I can tab out in the main menu and run the Script, then tab back in load the game and then activate the script with the hotkey. I'll report if this works.

Edit 3: It works this way, just means you cannot tab out but everything else works fine.
Its the Yellows on the map, where earth and land is that gets bugged out.

Yeah, no, whatever works for you, I just suggested tabbing out 'in game' to get you going as pain free as possible. Yeah, I've done it myself at various stages of the menus, while loading, all over the place, it really doesn't make a difference as long as the sh5.exe is running before the CT script tries to attach to the process. The same guy who gave me the script also gave me an Autohotkey script that would load sh5 and then a delayed start of the FOV script. Not sure why he made it in Autohotkey (another program that would have to be installed) it seems like you could do it with just a batch file but I think it's actually because of the 'sleep' command you can utilize to delay an action. I'm not sure that batch files can do that, I'd have to look it up. Point being, it's possible to automate the startup of the programs so you can have just one Silent Hunter Icon/Shortcut/whatever that does it all for you, no tabbing out or anything.

Well, awesome, so glad you got that working. Yeah, the map, not tabbing is a workaround, and that's fine, but it'd be nice to know what's really causing it. I don't have the issue, I'm running just TWOS and the FOV fix. Could be a mod, could be an option you selected during the TWOS install, could be a option you have selected in the game itself. I don't use 'real navigation' or some of the more really hardcore stuff. I play on about 68 percent realism. I do use manual TDC targeting, I just like having map updates and the like, stuff that makes life easier, time savers.

Got it working
Getting Cheat Engine 7.0 did the trick.

Now all that is in the way is the Black Map, renders tools pretty useless in its current form.
Its definitely the mod.
Now the issue is that The Wolves of Steel Mega Mod is a large combination of Mods, and the more recent WOS comes with an installer not using JSGME.

Last thing I want is to meddle with it, as its been a pain to set everything up, but if I could get the original map files and overwrite the modded maps, perhaps it would work.
