The Wolves of Steel: Bugs, glitches and issues thread

Boche · 03-29-21, 08:14 AM

Hello there fellow captains. ive been trying to switch over from sh3 to sh5 to test out TWoS mod, and ive been trying for days to get it to work but i just cannot.

First here are my pc specs:

I am using the Steam version of the game. I have done several clean installs following the exact path the TWoS mod install guide dictates.

I have the game installed in C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 5
Outside of Program files (x86).

The only thing that differs from the installation guide is that when it comes to the generic file patcher i have to manually input the location of the files its looking for. After that i get mixed results. Sometimes it doesnt let me restore the snapshot. it mostly happens when it says that "sh5.exe" cant be accessed because its being used by another program (i always have steam and ubiconnect off).

Honestly i dont know what else to try...id apreciate some guidance...jaja thank you all!

Hello, before I go ahead with this mega mod, can someone please explain what this means from the TWOS mega mod install instructions? I DO have the Ubisoft connect version of the game. Here is what I would appreciate some advice for:

If you own Digital/Ubisoft Connect downloadversion of the game, you'll have to perform manual sh5.exe replacement before you proceed to TWoS installation.

On a new note it appears I have BOTH ubisoft and steam version, I had forgotten I had the steam version before. NOW when go to play the steam version, its asking me to Link the steam/ubisoft accounts and reinstall the ubisoft connect, Im not sure what to do, as I read there is a seperate step one must perform prior to installing TWOS over the stock game, depending on which version one has, be it the Steam or Ubiconnect version. I went ahead and deleted the Ubiconnect version of the game, but still getting this prompt, maybe I need to uninstall Ubisoft connect? Any help please?

Oops, looks like a missing texture on this merchant in Kiel:

I'm running version 2.2.24 of TWOS.

Below are my other mods and load order:

TWoS Env Settings - Brighter Nights
TWoS Map Contacts Colors
TWoS Remove Map Plastic Cover
TWoS Ship Auto Recognition
TWoS SM Interior_Food Stocks
TWoS Wooden Lifeboats
TWOS restore captain's icon by Torpedo
Balus Stuka LOD fix

Let me know if there's any other info I can provide that will help.

Hi, i downloaded the latest version and installed.
i have only added brighter nights,
flooding via zones,
chimney smoke,
food stocks,
wooden lifeboats and missing map coordenates fix via jsgme.
i have an issue with hidden icons.
within the yellow area on my pic there are various hidden icons that i can select but do nothing when i click them. it looks like the jump to stations menu when i hover the mouse over them.
is there a fix or is this normal?

Just finished some objectives in Western Approaches and put into Lorient on the 6th of March 1941 (per the instructions for smooth career progression).

My question is....when looking at the campaigns.........Western Approaches continues until December of 1941......are there any other Missions I"m missing in Western Approaches between March 41 and Dec 41? None are populating when requesting a new mission in the bunker.....only thing that showing is the same career progression check mark....and it's not selectable.

If I must do the career progression Hack........do I modify my flotilla to match my current situation....aka 2nd Flotilla and Lorient.....or put in what it tells me to which is 6th Flotilla and Kiel? My CareerTrack.upc file also says South Indian Ocean for my current objective.....I never selected that mission...and that mission isn't available when selecting missions.....

Edit: Happy Times goes until March 41....I was mistaken. The Campaign Transfer Hack works fine.

Guys Icant get any new sub like VIIB. I am stuck with VIIA. I never got massage to get new sub in bunker.

So i bought SH5 through ubisoft. Installed The Wolves of Steel 2.2_SH5 Expansion Pack_v2.2.24_Full

and my list of mods is this:

Twos Fy incr flooding via zones
Twos env settings brighter nights
Twos ship auto recogbnition
Twos campaign advance verifier testing
Twos remove map plastic cover
Twos missing nav map coordinates fix

First save is this (i messed some shots on neutral ships and i thought it was about rating. Its already 1941.)

After that i started new campaign

and second save is this (i have positive rating and nice tonnage, no neutral ship sunked, only enemy):

Still no new uboat
