The Wolves of Steel: Bugs, glitches and issues thread

[maillemaker]

OK, I have it working.


I believe the missing piece was, first, I ran the TWOS installer as administrator. That might have been part of it, but also, the PDF of the installation instructions here:


https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=236598


does not match the installation instructions included with the modpack.


Critically, it does not tell you that you have to replace the Uplay/Steam sh5.exe with the DVD version (link to it on mediafire is included in the modpack installation instructions).


I did that, and now it seems to work. The game ran, I was able to save a game, and now I'm going to go open it and see if I can play.

I know and I use this and also other additional addons on my own risk and I had not any problems with it until now.
I just want to give a short feedback about my test and experiance.


So, everything is fine.

Anyway, I really don't think that something is wrong with your installation (at least you know what you're doing ). Those holes don't even appear every time on regular and stock gr2 ships as well. I'll investigate this further after the next update...

Just a quick update re this issue:

I made some more tests and this time I had holes appear on two imported ships (Zinbu and Akita), so I think it might have been a false alarm on my part (sorry ) - as you've said these holes don't always appear so I might have simply been unlucky before.

I have recently bought SH5 on steam. While I was installing TWoS, the steam conversion tool is giving me "There is an issue with the SH5 REGKEY". error.

Is there a certain step I need to do? Did I do something wrong?

Steam and Uplay are closed during the installation.

Try to reinstall your game but use full administration rights this time...

i tried hitting the e key but it didnt open anything, neither the manual or the personal chart box

i tried opening the manual manually but pressing the yellow corners on the book doesnt open it

addons installed:
TWoS Campaign Advance Verifier_Testing
TWoS Encrypted Bdu Orders
TWoS Harbors Chimney Smoke
TwoS FX_Reduc. Fires and Expl._Incr.Flooding via Zones

Hi, when using Fat Torps i used to be able to change "Leg" "Pattern Angle" amounts on the dials, but only the "Straight Run" Dial is working. Would restore snapshot again fix this? Clutching at straws here! Using 2.2.18 at moment because i am in Tanker Alley across the pond off USA coast, will upgrade to 2.2.20 when in bunker. Thank you Vecko and team for this brilliant mod

I have a question regarding the Engima machine.


Any Idea what would cause a half decpichered Engima Message?
I decoded an exact similar message on October 3, but got 3/4 through it before it started going gibberish.
I used this tutoiral:



Is it possible that the tutorial is outdated?
TIA

Cheers gents,


I have a problem with maps & map tools.
Lately, nautical lat/long chart and grid tool are missing.


Anby other of the tolls found under "E" ist where it shall be, just these two.


I'm playing with:
- encrypted bdu orders
- real navigation
- wooden lifeboats
- env settings brighter nights
- interior food stocks
- remove sub flags
nothing else.


Restarting the game did not work.


Any idea?


Thanks,
Skyworm

Delete all dragables.tdw files from your game folder and start the game. That should do the trick...
