Sober had a mod for uninterrupted ship smoke but I have noticed that this mod will also emphasize issue from your 2nd question, which can not be fixed.

Snorkel shouldn't be displayed in upgrade menu until 1943. Are you sure that you have installed everything correctly? Did you enabled snorkels manually using OFEW application?

Decoys are added intentionally from day one by the leading SH5 modder (TDW and his IRAI mod) intentionally and with a good reason, something about too effective escorts sonar early in the war...

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,

I recently took the opportunity to get SH5 in the Steam Summer Sale after enjoying SH3. I've played subsims since the 1990s and I'd liked what I'd seen from SH5.

Sadly, it seems I'm not going to get the opportunity to even be plagued by SH5's issues.

Whenever I try and launch SH5 from Steam the Ubisoft launcher kicks in and the update server doesn't kick in. So I'm left with a screen saying, "A ubisoft service is unvailable at the moment. Please try again later."

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the launcher which at least updated the launcher but it still stuck. I've asked for support from Steam and Ubisoft but as yet, nothing.

Not sure if this is a protection issue or Ubisoft being swamped by new players but it's infuriating. Any workaround appreciated. Thanks.

Code:

"A ubisoft service is unvailable at the moment.  Please try again later."

This becoming quite a common problem.
I have seen the answer to this somewhere but cannot remember where.
I am sure someone will come up with the answer.
In the meantime unistall your game launcher from the Control Panel Program & Features and download this new one.
It can be installed anywhere.

Post #157 How To Replace a Faulty SH5 Game Launcher

Thank you. I suspect that one of the reasons is that a lot of people took the opportunity to buy the SH series in the sale and perhaps Ubisoft are overloaded. Something I have seen is that I need to remove the launcher entirely from the registry so some CCleaner fun incoming.

As an aside the fact that it says, "A ubisoft," rather than "An Ubisoft," annoys me more than it should

Next up is trying to get GTIV EFLC to work. As a '90s computer owner, all this faffing about to get a game to play is reminicising I could do without.

is there a way to turn off the videos?

THEBERBSTER · 07-03-16, 10:06 AM

Hi macjim
You can 'disable intro movies' in TDW's Generic File Patcher, or press the Esc key.
Peter

macjim · 07-03-16, 11:48 AM

Thanks again Peter.

I don't think my radar or hydrophone is working? Suggestions? Should I try reinstalling the game?

THEBERBSTER · 07-03-16, 01:55 PM

Hi macjim
I am sure the hydrophone is ok from the sounds that I can hear.
The problem you have is you are still on the surface and have not started to dive yet.

No radar until late 1941.
Peter

macjim · 07-03-16, 02:23 PM

Thanks Peter, I think you are correct.

THEBERBSTER · 07-03-16, 06:24 PM

Hi macjim
I have an option to show the type of contact in the hydrophone station if it is any help in my tutorials?

Minor update.

So the first time I did the USoft update it didn't work. The launcher updated but SH5 still refused to load.

I tried again, used the launcher download link shown in this thread http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...ownload-Forums

The launcher updated twice, then updated SH5 files and finally tried to launch from Steam and I got the intro video.

Success!

I wouldn't want to have the game identify the contact for me. I'm using WOS Mega Mod and like the manual features.

Oh and is there a known issue with using windowed mode with SH5 WOS MM?. I had it working but it seems to have failed on me now. Can I set it in a configuration file somewhere?
