A huge problem.

[Zgok]

Hello, on a previous thread, Trevally was most helpfull in helping me find out the problems/bugs on my Campaign. So with JSGME I removed the mods (Harbour addong, and More Nations, Ships mod) that were causing Open Horizons 2 V2 to have older bugs on it. However, now that I started the game without them, the game crashes on the loading screen after the Ubisoft and opening video. Frustrated, I uninstalled, and reinstalled the game, made backups of the savegames in the documents folder of course, and when I restore the SH5 folder in Documents and load a savegame in Harbour, the game crashes, I start a new game, and the UI is all mixed between the vanilla game's and that of UI-boat V5.02. Is there something I could do to fix this without losing all my progress as I am in the Turning point campaign and have played the game(my favourite game) from the very first campaign.. literally dozens of hours.

mods I am using:
OPEN HORIZONS II_full v2
TDW_Mines_Subnets_Detectable_in_hydro (OH II v2)
Radio_Messages_1_2_0_Non-NewUIs
SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.11

Sounds like a balls up . Unenable all the mods and then Uninstall the game and then Delete any leftover files and Reinstall everything and start a new campaign by typing silentotto while on the campaign selection screen . The only thing is you will be behind the 8 ball until you sink ships and can upgrade (depends on what mods you use ) .

you cant use old saves because they used old mods you dont have any more.

if you change the mods in the game then any old saves wont work, PERIOD, its that simple. and trying to put it back the way it used to be wont work either because you can never get it back the same way installed exactly in the same order and such, all you can do is just start a new career and move on.

you problem has NOTHING to do with the game itself so uninstalling and reinstalling the game will do nothing for you but waste your time

Thank you, both of you, for the replies. Aye, Silentotto it is. Webster, the reason why I uninstalled, and reinstalled the game is because even without mods the game would not load up past the Ubisoft and intro video, hence couldnt access even the main menu, hence It seemed like the logical answer. What would explain the strange UI mix up? Thank you all again.

this may not fix your UI problem, but you are using MFCM Alt faces AND MFCM Alt w beards at the same time......You can only install one version at a time

when you reinstall and the game is fully fuctional again, before adding mods or doing anything else you should go to the main game folder and make a copy of it to save in your documents. once this is done you can just replace the game folder whenever needed without having to uninstall and reinstall. its much faster to fix a corrupted game that way.

...and ensure that the game patches to v1.2 when reinstalling.
If it does not do so automatically you can do it manually by running gu.exe, this can be found in the Support / Game Updater folder.

Thank you Webster for your advice, I shall keep that in mind for future reference as now the game, and mods now work, albeit, I started from the Black pit Campaign (I did Distant Waters before the problem) so that I can have a relatively new experience and save renown for a snorkel and good radars for the Turning Point campaign. What fixed the UI problem seemed to be re-installing the 1.2 patch, so thank you Flostt for the suggestions. Thank you all. Gute Jagd Kaleuns! .
