[BUG] Tonnage bar won't fill up (what mod)

[jscharpf]

Every time I save my game and come back it seems like my tonnage bar is at a different value??

I love the feel of SH5.. but.. I dunno... I think it's time to go back to my little IIA U-boat.

Hi js

Sounds like your local game and the cloud are not synced correctly.

Try going off line.

This will only use your local saved games and will not sync with the cloud.

When you are on line you start and finish the game by seeing the cloud syncing.

When you start and finish off line you will not see this happen.

At some point you should see a Uplay message asking you to choose to save to your local save games or to the cloud.

Select local save games.

If you do not see this message go back on line.

With the local save games selected you can then play on or off line ok.

You may need to play on and off line a couple of times before you see the message.

Playing off line or on line doesnt make any difference with this bug

Hi test

I am not convinced that that is the case.

I have spent a lot of time testing over the last couple of months including 10 Baltics before I had a tonnage bar result.

After a while I realized I needed to start to keep records of everything that was happening and then using the changes I made to get on top of the problem which seems to have made a big difference.

I am sure in my particular case there is a link between local saves and syncing as well as other in game save issues whether they are automatic or manual ones.

I even replaced my dvd and did a pure installation with a new Uplay account, email address, password and still had tonnage bar problems.

I am currently playing the NWA patrol offline with 90% results going my way apart from 2 ctd's one of which was starting the game from a manual save.

NWA is based on 13 playing sessions to date.

One thing that is noticeable from the posts is that our own experiences of the tonnage bar not filling are not all the same.

I have a sunken feeling after reading this thread this morning.

I have (nearly 'had') the intention (after watching "TheNorseCast - Gaming Done In Norway Silent 5" series and re-watching Stoianm's tutorials) to try and play this subsim on 100% reality using the Wolves of Steel mega mod.

However with the mystery of the tonnage bar not working properly I am drawn yet again to Sh3 with GWX and SHCommander (along with all the mods I've added to it) because of the career free-play.

What are my submariner comrades' views?

Why not just fill it manually?

Go to my documents/SH/data/cfg/SaveGames/00000005(or similarly called last save)/Campaign-2014-04-11_1547/Campaign.cfg


[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 5.PersObj 1]
PersObjType=0
Name=Hunt_around_the_British_Eastern_Coast
Description=Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 5.PersObj 1.Description
RelatedMapLocations=Line_BCW
IsCompleted=true

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 5.PersObj 1.Amount]
IsTonnage=true
Tonnage=70000
NumOfShips=0

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 5.PersObj 1.CrtAmount]
IsTonnage=false
Tonnage=XXXXX (your tonnage)
NumOfShips=0

I think we should start bombarding Ubisoft Technical Support with the error reports, this really seems to be a problem in the stock game as well.

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 5.PersObj 1.CrtAmount]
IsTonnage=false
Tonnage=XXXXX (your tonnage)

This is another really good work around solution as an alternative option to Comvas'es one.

This is a very good idea.

Now do I trust myself not to take advantage and make phantom tonnages and receive an oak leaf from the Fuhrer?

[test_m4a1]

I dont know if it is gonna help anyone but i noticed that tonnage bar fills up if im not loading saved game.

For example im turning game in off line mode - im starting in bunker - playing

If im loading game when im during patrol then bar isnt filling.

If destroyers or anything else are gonna destroy my u-boot - im simply turning off the game and again turning it on, loading save My point is - do not load saved game after death. Just turn off and turn on game and play

[Pandur]

in my short time playing i observed following;

i have steam version!!!

1st try with patcher, bar wont fill up
2nd try new install with no patcher, bar fill up
3rd try, same install, patched with patcher, new campain, bar wont fill up again

that tell me the ubi thinks i have cracked exe, which i have cause i used patcher

hm? at least that what i see, not sure what online or offline mode could have to do with it, i did not change online/offline mode at all. save sync also disabled all the time.

[test_m4a1]

I surrender - dont know what to do because its not filling. Offline or online, after bunker or loading the game, its completly random.

Stoping playing SH5 till someone finds solution of this bug...

Hi Test

I know how you feel and what you are going through.

We all have the same problem of how to fill the bar but it seems to affect some of us in different ways.

I have spent days and days working through my problem and my success rate is now very high.

Completed Baltic

Completed EBCW

Now on NWA only need possible 1 or 2 kills to fill the bar.

I even changed my GFP 168 back to 165.

There is an answer and it can be found.

Someone sorting their problem out however may not sort out yours.

Luckily I had the time being retired and fortunately the patience as well.

Hi THEBERBSTER,

I envy You time to look for solution, law student of 4th year has little bit less free time

I just can't understand one thing. I see many threads, many people here playing SH5 but only small part of us is talking about this problem. Is it only us or its all community with this problem??

I completly surrender, maybe someone smarter then me, authors of OH or TDW are gonna fins the solution it has to be somewhere...

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Test

I totally agree with you, why is it that only a few of us that are having this problem?

I played for nearly 2 years without any problems and then suddenly for whatever reasons this tonnage bar problem arises.

I remember also having Game Launcher problems with a Windows error that would not let me connect to UPlay.

My suggestion to start with is

New Career

Stock

with GFP

Then without GFP

Use the FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith (in Folder 1)

And also the FX_Update_0_0_22_Stock_Torpedoes (modified for torpedoes failure patches) (in Folder 5)

Folder 1 and folder 5 are inside a Folder called Mods.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=174511


You will need these otherwise your torpedoes go beserk.

If you already use the FX Update then replace folder 3 with folder 5 until you remove the Stock interface.

Starting a New Career did not fix my problem.

A very good but radical one is to purchase a new DVD as they are really cheap.

This will give you a new UPlay account login, email address, and password.

Also you get importantly a new Game Launcher through the DVD installation and not a third party replacement.
