@kevinsue The icon is not there as you are already in dock. The docking Icon is visible on the approach to Keil some distance from the bunker but wait for Berbster to clarify

I started a new campaign with La Spezia as the home port and the anchor icon is definitely there when you board your boat. :yep: After doing the Kiel canal quite a number of times, I didn't feel like facing that long and tedious voyage from Kiel to La Spezia yet again...:nope:

Try this near the port, that helps 100%. :salute:

Weird AI bug
 

So i ran into a pair of destroyers on patrol at night, and i approached them while submerged, i was going at flank speed though. As i pulled up my periscope at around 3km distance i got spotted immediately.

What followed was weird... I dived to 70m and tried to be sneaky, silent mode and all that, i would even shut off the engines if i heard them slowing down through my hydro. Nothing helped, this went on for forever, i tried everything.

i went afk for a couple of times since i thought time compression might be messing with the game and ruining my stealthy attempts to gain distance. Nope they were still on me.

After a while they stopped depth charging and pinging me, and they didnt depth charge that much, i doubt they run out of charges. They just started circling in these tiny circles at flank speeds about 1 km from my position.

There is no way they could hear me running on silent while they were pushing their engines. They didnt ping either. And they kept shadowing me like this till i ran out of batteries. Its ridiculous.

Known AI Bug, they get "stuck" to you sometimes. The only thing you can do is to save a reload.

Most annoying problem this game has.

If that bug could be fixed, it would improve the game by a lot.

God damn it... Any idea what triggers it? It was early in my session, out in the open sea, far from any ports. They were my first contacts.

I think it is completely random. Maybe someone else knows more about this. Thankfully it is also kind of rare.
But if it happens, it is of course totally game breaking.

Alright, thanks.

The problem:

When iam attacked by destroyers iam saving/reloading the game after a while. Always a good idea to have a "fair", "good" fight against escorts because of the known bug.

Hello everyone.
I am getting this issue where I have completed Happy Times, and it asks me if I want to be the commander of a new Uboat, which would be the Type7c.

If I press yes, it will end the chapater and allow me to select the next one.
However, the game loads and for a brief momment I hear I am in the docks, after about a half a second the game crashes.

It does not matter which chaper I pick, mare or the other one.

However the game works fine if I say no, and keep my Type7B.

How can I fix this, or is there even a way to modify the save to change to the Type C? I just want the new Uboat really.

Thanks in advance, and much love for this mod.

These tips were especially important in old TWoS version because if you would not follow them, the game would probably CTD after some time.

This was the big problem which was and still is torturing all SH5 modlists for years.

Luckily, this is not the case in TWoS anymore but I decided to keep those tips because they can not do any harm plus, it appears that shorter playing sessions in mentioned areas have positive impact on game performances and encountered AI units (especially airplanes) ...

This is true, but since realistic implementation of GHG surface detection abilities is not possible due to SH limitations (sonarmen reports contacts even with diesel roaring at 15+ knots), it is better solution to restrict all hydrophones to underwater operations only...

JSGME modlist in particular...

Sub offers have nothing to do with campaign transfer workround (AKA Alternative campaign progression method).
New sub offers are mainly influenced by your current rating points which can be seen in your KSD commander profile. If your rating is 0 or even negative (-1, -2) due to low tonnage or skipped patrolls and neutral kills, then BdU may newer offer you a new boat.
If this is the case and you want to cheat a bit in order to get new sub, PM me and I'll tell you what to do...:yep:

I edited campaign files long time ago to prevent exactly what you are trying to accomplish...:D

Sure np.
Operating System = Windows 10
System Specs = Ryzen 1800x GTX 1080 Ti 8 gigs of ddr 5 ram
Game Version Steam With the modfied .exe
Confrim check: I found nothing regarding this issue, here or on google.
Mods are as follows:

The Wolves of Steel 2.0.0
The Wolves os Steel 2.0.9 Update
TWos Real Navigation
TWos 8x5 Resolution Patch
Unterseeboot SFX
EquaTool 01.01 by AvM - Large Style
Speech Recognition_MiTons_NewUI_Edition_v0.4_english
Speech Recognition_MiTons_NewUI_Edition_v0.4.1_english

(I have tested by removing the unofficial supported mods, same result)

More detailed Description of the issue:
Home Base: Lorient
U-Boat Type: Type7B

Game offers new U-Boat, if accepted, game will bring me to the medal reward screen, then to a chapter disclosure menu, after that the chapter selection menu. When accepting command of a new uboat, either mission choices result in a crash after the game loads the bunker, for about a second I can hear the ambient sounds and then the game crashes.

If I decline the command of the new uboat, there is no issue, I have my previous uboat, renown, equipment selection, crew abilities etc.


(No crashes up till now far, except sometimes with voice commands which I know are not supported and certain commands cause the game to crash.)

Removing your custom mods won't help if your gamesave is already damaged by the mods you are using now or you were using before...


Did the game had time to create Auto Enter Bunker save? Can you load it ?

Also, your last campaign gamesave would be quite helpful, upload it somewhere please...

In the meantime, update your modpack with latest update and try again...

Yes, It created a save file, the link to that save data is here:
http://www.filedropper.com/00000001_1
(However, if I load it, it crashes.)

The last campain save is this:
http://www.filedropper.com/00000014
It is just when the game asks if I want the new Uboat or not.

I also tested something, I went to my last bunker save
http://www.filedropper.com/00000001bunker

I started a new patrol and right away I ended it. It asked me if I wanted new command of a uboat, I pressed yes and in this case it works fine.

Edit: However I assume it skipped the mission ending date, so I did not get an option to select a new chapter. Date is 6/3/41
When I went on the next patrol, when I looked behind me it crashed. Confusing.

OK, thanks...I'll take a look at your files and upload fixed gamesave for you which wont cause game crash .

Do you remember by any chance what was your TWoS version when you started HT campaign?:hmmm:

I thank you :)


Yes it was 1.0.6 I believe.
So the previous one before the 2.0.0 update.

I did have a few extra mod back then, which was
AMMO_v1.0_SH5_by_Raven_2012
Churchs SHV 1.01 Keyboard Commands v1.1
MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 (With Beards)

But I stopped using them due to Twos having included them.
And I now have basically almost no extra mods since Twos already has almost all I needed besides the integration of Voice Recogniton :)

Edit: I also used the The Wolves of Steel 1.06_Update 01 during one of the Bunker saves.

Who knows what it could go wrong. I've add small ton of tweaks and updates since v1.06, maybe some gamesave incompatible change is showing it's effects only now or it could be some of your tweaks...

Anyway , I was able to load your "30 secs" save just fine and to continue campaign in Kiel (Western Approaches) just fine with new type VIIC...:yep:

I saved the game in the bunker and I'm uploading the gamesave for you...:yep: http://www.mediafire.com/file/djp7i6...i/00000015.rar

BUT, before you load "WA Kiel VIIC" gamesave (that's how I named it) make sure to do full game reinstallation, delete Documents/SH5 folder, delete all leftover files from your main Silent HUnter 5 install folder and download latest full TWoS package/installer. :yep:
