Ran into a weird crash.

Sunk a steam troopship.

The first CTD was when it was blowing up and seemed to be going down..

2nd CTD was when i checked the hydros to verify its sinking.

3rd is when i click the captains log to verify if it registered (each time my WEPS office did not say it was sinking)

Saved a bit later after hitting the troopship and didnt touch anything but my map hotkey and my dive icons. No CTD. But no registering the ship was hit. Clicked the captains log and CTD again.

Basically seems like it gets overwhelmed when trying to register it sunk a troopship in my patrol zone as the objective?

Any way around it? I sunk a troopship earlier in this save too so its a great start for me, really dont want to lose it.

::edit::

Looks like i lost that campaign unless i start over again. I saved when in contact with a ship so I am sure that was the problem.

::double edit::

I was a French ship apparently, Friendly. Ack!

I'm afraid that if you don't have gamesave prior your friendly sinking your campaign is now effectively over...

Be more careful next time.

I am wondering whether this a stock-game bug or the side effect of some mod? I seem to remember that New UIs or some other mod by TDW had something to do with it, but I am not 100% sure about that

I don't know if this is known, but I noticed that the text labels on the electrical engine in the interior are wrong. The labels seem to be related to Torpedo attacks, not anything engine related.

I recently attacked a small convoy of two destroyers, a tanker, and a troopship, all travelling at 14 knots in March-April 1941. I sank the troopship, but the destroyers completely ignored me. Is this normal?

TWoS version? I would need a gamesave if possible.

Was it American destroyer? It could be special destroyer from the 'replenishment' category which I created in order to avoid some convoy leader related CTDs. Basically it's a destroyer with merchant AI which will only engage targets with guns if visually detected. They are quite rare though...

Same here, but IIRC modders decided to keep that unexpected "feature" probably because in the stock game there weren't any penalties at all for friendly kills...

Noted, this is known problem...

I'm sorry for bothering you, I wish to ask, is teleporting to somewhere then leaving it unsafe?
Like in this video (I ended up in the water below the submarine upon leaving the observation periscope)?

It happens after 11:20 in the video - used official installer from mediafire: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dpd...1ycn/TWoS_v2.2 , version 2.2.20, installer has been uploaded on 2020.11.28.
:

Or do you think it happens because I use other mods too like Dark_Interior_V1 and RUSTED GLORY and EcoMod?

Thank you in advance and thank you for developing TWoS.

Camera glitches are "normal" in SH5 to say so. Stock Shift+U "unstuck" command have been added especially for situations like that...

Isn't reward penalty a thing?

Not really IMO since torpedoes are mostly - free. Player technically doesn't need any renown to play campaign normally...

I remember that In SH3/4 if you kill friendly unit your campaign will be ended when you get back to port. This is how it should be...Was it like that in stock SH5, I really wouldn't know...

Actually, in my younger years of playing vanilla SH5, everytime I left Lorient or some other harbor, I would always sink a friendly submarine or vessel just for kicks. I never received any penalty that I can recall of. Though maybe my game crashing every time I pressed "K" for the captains log was a punishment of sorts.
