I felt like I had completed the campaign chapter way to quickly. So I reloaded and reloaded the game only to get the same results.

Any way to fix this?

TWoS campaign chapters are date controlled. They can not be ended "way to quickly"...

Hello

I got some problem with sound.
Game is working without any problem most of the sounds are working too.
Just when i'm changing(static/magnetize)/firing torpedoes. I don't hear them speaking in German

I have a really annoying problem with mouse. After loading
my save (brand new campaign, saved, exited to main menu, reloaded);
and after a while, I can't move the map any more. If I ignore it, eventually
I can't use mouse 1 anymore. If I'm in mouse view, then I can't get out of
it. Only way to fix it, is to save, exit to main menu and reload about every 10 to 15 minutes. This is my 3rd attempt to play a campaign with WoS, and so far
I have yet to fire a shot in 6 weeks of playing.

I am about ready to bin WoS! Which sucks cause I really wanted the Manual TDC.

2. I got it on Uplay and steam?
3. Aye

My Auto target ID isnt working, it worked before but after a new patrol or loading of my save, it just stopped working. The entire option isnt there.

1. Windows 10 Home Edition, Acer Nitro 5, 8 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 1650, Intel 15-9300H processor, and 512 GB SSD

2. I use the Uplay download version of the game. Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic Gold Edition

3. The vanilla game works without problems and my game is patched to version 1.2

To the issue.

One day, I was playing SH5 with TWoS and I had just finished a patrol and was heading back out of Wilhelmshaven and I clicked on Dieter to talk to him to try and raise morale when this appeared:


I ignored it for a while before it started to get annoying so now I am looking for help.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Looks like problem caused by incompatible and outdated mods. JSGME screenshot?

[Texas Red]

Sure


The NCKME mod I just enabled today. I have had this problem for a while now.

No idea, sorry. I don't think that problem is part of normally installed TWoS. Did you mess up before with some old crew abilities mods, in your current installation?

[Texas Red]

No, I don't think so. What is more strange is the fact that the dialogue box is fine in a single mission, but messed up in a campaign.

EDIT: Maybe the restore captain's icon thingy messed it up?

Does anyone knows what to do if you encounter too many trawlers? I am in coastal waters/first campaign at the moment and encounter way to many of them, some move in a way merchants (3 in a row lets say)

Hello,

I was playing in the Happy Times campaign when the automatic campaign transfer came up. When it came up to ask me what campaign I wished to switch to I decided to type 'silentotto' which I'm guessing messed up the game. I decided to reload the save I was at but now each time I play it fails to initialize. JSGME and everything are correctly installed so would I have to manually do the campaign transfer or is there some way to get the automatic transfer to work.

Yes...Activate campaign advance verifier addon and load some older gamesave. Also, follow instructional campaign transfer radio messages and the transfer will be probably initiated when it's time...

I've just reinstalled the game from Uplay on my recently formatted PC, so everything is clean. I followed all the instructions, including the workaround for Uplay with the various options disabled, including cloud synch, the game loads with no issues, however when I want to create a new campaign I get the "The internet connection experiences problems, and the current game session was saved. Please wait until the Internet connection is restored or press OK button to return to the main menu" error. I don't have the Campaign advancement verifier activated. Game is installed in a separate folder in C:, Uplay is installed in Programs (x86).


What could it be?

BdU is confident that you can solve the problem of too many enemy ships of any kind by being more aggressive.
