The Wolves of Steel: Bugs, glitches and issues thread

[GrenSo]

Hi,


I done today a small update of my fix/mod to make the date of awards for TWoS visible again. In the new vision I remove also the yellow border when clicking on the awards.

The dates are hidden because it's quite dumb and unrealistic IMO that one Captain receives same medal multiple times (someone please correct me if im wrong). In-game award system is quite broken and I don't think that it can be repaired.



Just take a look at your example. It's not even 1940 yet and you have already been awarded with two iron croses 1st class.


Luckally, we have KSD commander and it's realistic medals/awards system...


I think I'll probably remove completely this menu from the game in some of the future updates...

I am not realy sure if KDS works realistic and use a correct award system, because in KDS if got other awards like ingame:





Or i am wrong about this?

Hi there! First of all, thank you in advance for your help.
I am having this bug:
1. Operating System, System spec?
Windows 8 x64 (6.2, 9200)
2. Version of the game ? (DVD, Uplay download, Steam, other ?)
Uplay
3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems.
When I open the game, at the top left corner it says "The Wolves of Steel v2.2.20" I hope that's the version...

4. If you use any non-TWoS custom mods, remove them, reinstall your game/TWoS completely according to install instruction, start new campaign and make sure that the issue still persist!
I don't have any other mods apart from WoS.

5. Confirm that the Generic Patcher is correctly activated and the snapshot is successfully restored (Install instructions, step 2).
I installed everything correctly, so I guess it's correctly activated. Anyways, I don't know how to check that...

6. Provide a screenshot of your main Silent Hunter 5 installation folder and it's content!

7. JSGME screenshot!

8. Make sure to provide as much details as possible when describing situation where problem/bug/CTD can be observed. What should we do in order to reproduce this issue?
So, I've seen another guy with the same problem as me in this very same thread, but the solution given to him doesn't seem to work with me.

My issue is that when on the TDC, I have all of my data already set up. Now imagine that I want to make sure I hit my target by doing a last moment distance check, or maybe I just want to change to a different target on a convoy: I need to adjust my distance as It's not going to be a 90AoB shot.

So, when I click on the stadimeter so I can select the new distance, all of my dials get messed up (speed, AoB, bearing), so It's impossible for me to make a last moment adjustement or to make several shots on a convoy as all of my data gets deleted and I have to input everything again.

A solution was given: try using the stadimeter while manual TDC is OFF. So I tried it, when that button is red, but it happens the same way as when it's on (gray button).
You can see everything I'm saying on the video I link below.


9. Upload several screenshots and gamesaves on which problem can be observed.

I've uploaded a one minute video on YouTube so you can clearly see the issue.
I just randomly found a DD, I locked it, and made a random firing solution, with random data. You can see that when I select what would be the new distance, all the dials get messed up.



Thank you SO MUCH for your help, I'm sure you will be able to help me!!!!

Hi PiedrA1650,
TDC data aren't really resetting like that in correctly installed game/mod. I don't think you have performed step 2 from install instructions correctly... Update your mod to the latest version as well.

Small bug noted while playing the single mission about the test of German Jet engines ( Playable sub: Type VIIC/41 ). The flag displayed on the bow of the submarine instead of waving in the opposite direction in respect to the U-boat course, it waves in the same direction ( So in brief the flag is waving the wrong way )

And if you turn the boat to the opposite direction?

I'll never get to know how you guessed it right in the first try. Absolutely correct, I ran the Generic Patcher and just like you said, it looks like, when installing, I clicked "Yes" in every but one of the messages. A new window appeared showing something where you could read "stadimeter". The moment I saw it I knew everything was my fault.

My game works properly right now. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!

Totally agree with you. I'll try in the next incoming weeks to check if there's a way to fix this via scripts or game files.

For updates about it check the thread below ( So I'll don't mess with stuffs specific to this thread )

Hi vdr1981,

it was poosible to get the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class more than one time. I am not sure how often a soldier got the Iron Cross more than one time but for this case it gave the repeat clasps.

repeat clasp Iron Cross 2nd Class:


repeat clasp Iron Cross 1st Class and repeat clasp Iron Cross 1st Class with Screw washer:



So if someone got the Iron Cross twice, that he wear the repeat clasp.
