Chrisgooverthere is here, plays a glitchy game

chrisgooverthere · 08-07-16, 11:42 AM

Hey fellas,

So I just joined the forums . . . received what I presume to be an automated message inviting me to introduce myself, so here I am. 30 yr old gamer, very much interested in WWII type games, especially War Thunder.

Played SH, loved it.

Played SH 3, loved it.

Played SH 4, loved it immensely.

Playing SH 5 starting a few weeks ago . . . still trying to love it, but it seems buggy. I can push through a few of the bugs, but I finally got to a point where the tonnage bar would not update, and I decided to poke around Subsim to see if there might be a solution(s).

It all seems pretty confusing (forum searches often turn up non-specific answers to my specific problem), so if anyone wants to volunteer some possible fixes and/or workarounds, I would greatly appreciate it.

I run Windows 10, and installed SH5 through steam.

My two biggest complaints with the game are

-the inconsistency of the tonnage bar updating and

-the inability to get some of the ubisoft achievements (e.g., played through the tutorial a couple of times now, and the achievement relevant to that task still hasn't popped)

Again, I realize that I'm asking other people to volunteer their time towards my problems instead of their own interests, so I would greatly appreciate the help, but understand if there is little interest in helping me out.

Welcome to Subsim Chris. You may want to look around in the forums here under SH5. Chances are, others have encountered the same issues you are reporting. If that doesn't work, I'm sure the " Mod Guru's " here may be able to help you.

I think you'll find they are more than willing to help.
