Don't get any sight warnings

[Aldarean]

Hi,


I have a problem with my guards on deck. They don't report any sighted ships. In one moment I am swiming in endles lonlieness and in the next I am surrounded by torpedo boats. No message in the box no TC 1.

I am using TWoS in 2.2.12. Can anyone help?

You must deactivate travel mode so that you get alerted and get TC1 on aircraft or ship sightings. It's the last upper icon on the right in your picture.

You should also get a voice message 'Rauch am Horizont auf xxx' and the English message in the box when you first approach any asset.

That's strange because TWoS doesn't have German texts and especially doesn't have the problem you've just described, regardless of travel mode...Check your modlist, don't alt-tab the active game, check TWoS quick start manual...Cheers!

Thanks for your answers. I'm using a german translation mod for WoS.



After ending my patrol all my gaurds are fresh at work and are reporting again. But now my sonar guy isn't able to detect two fast running passenger ships on closest range . I have the feeling that these problems appearing and disappearing as they want.



The sight reporting has nothing to do with the travel mode as I know.

You have dived and are on slow speed, right? Because on surface: no sonar contacts.

Yes, sure. My sonar man only reports if I tell him to follow the nearest contact.

He should tell you without your intervention, unless after a very tough stressed game sequence where the crew loses morale, in this case crew could perform poorly (thus the sonar man NOT reporting contacts he could otherwise.) Also every time a crew man gets injured, his behavior is bad...


But even with no 'stress', my sonar man will report contacts for merchands or warships in a fairly long range (often more than 20 km away if you stop all engines or go not more than 3 knots), so this means something is messed up with your TWoS installation. The doc states clearly that no external mod must be used with this megamod, if you infringe this then you are on your own and nobody can help you...
After TWoS 2.2.9, it is required that you start a new career after updating WoS, did you do that?



The best you could do is re-install the game and TWoS. Your savegames should still be usable, and if not (when you encounter problems) then start a new career.

Has Travel Mode any function in WoS then? What if you deactivate it?



I guess OP is using the 'Deutscher Sprachpatch' which translates all menu.txt into German text. I don't use it because it messes-up with the names in the ID Book, but it will turn all messages and menus into German.
