Hi everyone. :Kaleun_Salute:



I'm not really new here, because and read the forum and be on SUBSIM for about 5 years. But until now, there was not really a reason for me to comment something. And I had registered this year only for one single download.

Faces+little icons would be my choice. This version makes it clear who's responsible for what, while not depersonalizing our crew.

Hi Guys, I have been trying for some time now to find either an ENB or something to improve the shadow rendering in the game and I think I have finally found it. I have several years of using and customizing ENB' s in Skyrim and a couple other games, and I have messed with Sweet FX and Reshade in some other games, but SH5 has always frustrated me because it seemed if you got any real depth and vibrancy in the graphics it messed up the log or the radio messages to where you couldn't read them. But using the new version of reshade and the Beta Reshade manager linked below I got a look that I really like. Here is a link to some screenshots.:

And here is a link to Reshade:
https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_4.4.2.exe

And here is a link to the manger:
https://reshademanager.com/dl/ReShad...ta%200.4.5.zip

I achieved the look in the screenshots with my graphics mod {found in the downloads section}
and simply setting the Reshade manger on the setting for Battlefield 4. and the manger did the rest.
Just place the reshade .exe in the main SH5 folder and unzip the manger and place its contents in the main SH5 folder. Launch the manger and it will download the reshade shaders it needs and set them up then just click on the green controller icon to launch the game. In the screenshots you can see that using the built in frame counter in SH5 my frames stayed between 84fps outside and well over 100fps inside the boat in the screen shots. The manager may give you an unsafe file warning if you are using Windows 10 because it is an unsigned file but it is safe.

Hello,
Noob question: is there a way to make all speech in game English only?
I'm using the Twos mod and it runs fine. I just prefer to hear English only from my crew. I know not really realistic considering I'm in German Uboat but would like to do that if possible. thank you for your help much appreciated.

Welcome aboard!
 

:Kaleun_Cheers: Thank you.

English Crew Voices By Kevinsue

This is very interesting and I´ll try it. But...How launch you the game with KSD? You wrote about launch the game with the manager :hmmm:

Many thanks and best regards.

I think you can just go ahead and launch it as you usually do. Once the reshade is installed it launchs with the game. I just said to launch it with the manger the first time to make sure it activates the profile it created. I haven't really used the KSD so I am not sure.
I used the Battlefield 4 profile because it is the profile closer to SH5 shader type. The new version of reshade is capable of filmic lighting and many other shading techniques. It even has support for the Vulkin API which is what got me using it as I use it in X4 Foundations. When I had tried it with older versions of reshade it always made the log and message board hard to read and the new version doesn't as you can see from my screen shots. For those who are more knowing about reshade than me can maybe make a better profile for the game.

I copied the English sound files from my backup copy of the game and it works fine. I use the Steam version of the game.
files located at Silent Hunter 5/data/sound/speech/

In my installation, DVD Gold 1.0 plus patch 1.2 and TWoS 2.2.16, and reshade installed, the game starts well from UPLAY, but from KSD or double clicking sh5.exe the game goes to CTD. Without reshade, all ways for starting the game work fine.

Also, when started via UPLAY, appears a text in the upper left corner telling reshade is active, etc. but I can't delete it, and remains there all the session.

I tried it in SH4 too, and all works fine without texts and the game starts without problems. But SH4 doesn't use UPLAY for start. I think there is a problem between reshade, sh5.exe and his relation to UPLAY.

Best regards.

Hi fitz
If you have recently installed from the Dvd you will need this Uplay fix to overcome the ctd problem.

Thanks! But I can launch the game from UPLAY with reshade, and with KSD without reshade. My installation is oldie; it is "1.2", not the damn "1.3". The problem is with reshade and Uplay, I believe.

Launching the game via KSD without reshade the game works fine as ever. I never have the problem of the new patch, because I use my DVD 1.0 and my old 1.2 patch when reinstall (but it is a lot of months I don´t reinstall SH5).

Best regards.
