So guys any news on the latest Magnum Opus version to be released? I've had sh5 uninstalled and sitting on the shelf collecting dust awaiting the release of the updated organised mod "magnum opus"

Not being an impatient person or anything, just would like an estimation if possible thats all...

Thanks!

Hi,

The only one who can answer this is TDW, the wizard himself.

Uninstalled? Why?
Are you having some problems running the MO or why are you waiting for an update?
If so - have you tried a fresh unzip of the MO?

Or run SH5 without the MO but with the New UIs TDC 6.8.0.

Yeah hopefully TDW lets us know soon then..no hurry though. As for your question about why i have it uninstalled (well just stopped playing it all together) its just theres too many good mods that all have to be properly installed one after another in perfect order or risk something going wrong and causing endless CTDs which just kills the sim for me...so im just being patient until TDW puts all these mods into one big install so i wont have the headache of mod soup configuration etc..the good thing about this game its not like theres going to be a silent hunter 6 and this one just keeps getting better and better so im sure when i come back to it again it'll be like a new sim all over again!

Heyoo, new member here! First I have to say I enjoy MO very much and I'm waiting anxiously for the new update. At the moment I'm wondering if it's possible to use Open Horizons campaign mod with MO? Can I just install them both or will they conflict?

I wish that there would be also this really basic "megamod" which would include only the finest, most updated and finished gameplay changing mods: NewUi's, IRAI, FX update, More Crew commands, and Mighty Fine Crew mod, R.E.M., for example.) There could be three useroptions already edited for different UI styles. Already with this pack, you would be ready to try the game. Campaign and graphical mods would be installed separately.

My complaint with MO was that it changed too much things, and it was a pain to try to get back some of the default things I liked (I even like the eye patch!). This kind of modpack could with few patches even form into a kind of un-official patch 1.3., and become a base for all the new mods. And it would attract new gamers and new modders to SH 5 which is crucial to the future of the game, I think. The game is already fun and exciting but I can understand the frustration that new players will face with all the mods.

I installed this mod with the patch the other day and enabled it when I was in port on my campaign. But in my Campaign or even in just a Historical mission I just get 1 FPS...

So, I downloaded it again and just tried the first version 1 of the mod, without the patch. I though I might have installed the MODS patch incorrectly since there are no instructions. But even with just v1 only, I get 1 fps.

Are there any known mods that cause this problem? One that I could just remove. Even with just 1 fps I could see that the graphics look much better with this mod, but unplayable..

I also installed this mod (awesome BTW) but now im having some CTD problems. I think I did it right. I put the magnum opus folder in the sh5\mods folder (same with the patch folder) and activated them both. Mod then patch. It crashes all the time now. Its so bad when I start a new campaign it crashes shortly after I sink the first ship. Also my radio man still has blank dialogue. Shouldnt that be fixed with the patch? Im wondering if I didnt do something wrong.

Oh yeah patched in port saved in bunker and reloaded too.

I don't see a readme with these downloads, but there is a text folder and I think that has a lot of speech text for something... not sure what, but maybe that is supposed to fix that issue?

I haven't been able to get more than 1 fps with this mod, so I cannot test it. I normally get about 65 fps without any mods...

Hi Snacko and NipplesTheCat,
I can reccomend you to do the following steps:

1. Delete the game and all its traces from PC, reinstall the game

2. In 'support' folder you'll find 'gu'-folder (game updater). Launch it and the game should be patched to v.1.2 automatically. It is not a quick process so just follow all the instructions. The patch is installed when the activation window will appear (account name + passport).

3. Play the tutorial without any mods installed, you'll be autosaved in bunker, exit to Windows, install JSGME into Ubisoft/Silent Hunt 5/

4. Study thoroughly video tutorial by STOIANM, where all the information re. MO and few more important mods usaged explained perfectly. The link is here
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...9&postcount=27

5. Install mods as recommended in this videotutorial
NOTE:
a) Some mods mentioned by stoianm (NewUI, IRAI, FX_Update) already have new versions, which could be found on this forums in the first posts of the threads
b) d3d Antilag is applied not via JSGME, but with copying the .dll, .cfg files to the game directory Ubisoft/Silent Hunt 5/

6. Load the saved in bunker game, resave it one more time, exit to Windows and then load again, and everything should work perfect (if you done all the steps properly)

Roger, Thanks!

PS:
After installing v0.0.1 of this into the MODS folder, are you then supposed to just copy the Patch over top of the v0.0.1 files in the MODS folder and overwrite them?
