Ships getting stuck in low waters, and several warship classes (I dont remember which ones exactly, but destroyers for sure are among them) not firing their guns when docked, is a known issue of SH AI that no one managed fixing so far :yep:

Hi there !
I have finished my last task at coastal waters campaign (my date 1.june.40) and shuldn't it load me to another campaign (total germany) ? If "yes" than its not :(

Any advice or something ?

I'm trying to install the Wolves of Steel megamod following the instructions on this thread.
Everything seems to work fine, except that, after installing the mod, the TAI Map appears in the top left corner. This means that I can't expand it to use it.

I had a look for similar problems or obvious fixes, but wasn't able to find anything.

Did I do something wrong during the install? Has anyone seen this problem before?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow.....even in 1940 at night with medium fog.
With a wind of zero M/S the escorts WILL see you if you don't stay at EXTREME visual range. Like the range where your lookouts can see but you really can't.
I guess it's that bow spray.

This is hard! :k_confused:

To the point something feels.......off

Don't forget that skilled escorts can also hear your diesel, especially when night is foggy and calm...:yep:
AI visual sensors are the "the weakest" in the game, during the night of course...They can't see a thing without search lights...

On the left hand side of the screen, on the top of the strip of icons with surface the boat, periscope depth etc, there is another icon with what looks like a set square/protractor on it, with a small circle in the bottom left corner of the icon. Click on the circle and it should move the TAI map back to the bottom left of the screen. I had this when I went to a 1440p resolution monitor. This icon toggles the TAI map visibility and it seems that when toggled off it just moves the map off screen to hide it, but I guess this is based on 1080p monitors so it doesn't fully go off on 1440p. Once it is back where it should be you can change size with TAB as before.

sooo....... about this sextant problem..... is there a known glitch about CTD or it not wanting to close when clicking on the little "x" or should this question be on the Real Navigation section? i dont know

trouble with changing options on the mod
 

i am having trouble with the changing the notepad to the correct installation path and any help would be useful, instead of changing the text of the page i moved my silent hunter 5 folder into my ubisoft folder assuming that would work but i still have no option to change my mod settings, also how do i upload a screenshot onto here to show the notepad?

I found an interesting style of play. In TWoS traffic is very low, and 90% of the time it takes to search for enemy. Especially because the max compression ratio is x512. Today I played all work day. I run the game in windowed mode. I put the search script. If the ship is detected, then the acceleration is reset to x1, if the plane, then the game is paused. Most of the real-time game is minimize to tray, I periodically unfold it and whatch what happened during that time. I save, change course and so on. At the same time fully employed work. So i sailed today 15 game days and not found any convoy. This 8 real-time hours. And if an hour a day playing in the afternoon as usual, it would take 8 days. And boring is when an hour you only look at a map. And that is very important for me and all felt the endless expanses of the ocean, I do not fly by game days for a minute as if played on the x4000, but at the same time, the game is not take a lot of real time.

Sorry for my english, its gt )

@ Elder, so far no real problems with the game or even CTD's.

Just when I have too many programs running simultaneously on my rig it CTD's at times. But I always save inbetween.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRR

Most of high TC random game crashes in SH5 are related/caused by the large number of imported but insufficiently tested .dat units which were included in various SH5 mods.

Because of this, I'm preparing to do complete revision of all imported DAT units and hopefully when I'm done, SH5 will become significantly more stable.
However, this is not an easy task so don't expect anything soon but I have already managed to isolate several airplane and ship types which can crash the game under the certain conditions (AKA CTD if you don't save/restart the game prior the docking ect).

Until then, try to follow my tips for stable gamepley as much as possible and when I release TWoS 1.06, hopefully those tips will become much less important...:yep:

:Kaleun_Smile::Kaleun_Party::Kaleun_Salivating:

Great news! What method are you using to review the .dat files? Are you looking for repeated object ids?

Superb Vecko ! We owe you a lot of beer !

Some questions, i tried to make a screen capture, but it's imposible
Win10, activate screen capture in uplay game launcher, f12 or ctrl + f12, doesn't work, press the impr scre bottom while i'm playing then open paint and paste, apears my window screen, help

I change my screen settings from 1440*900 60 hz to 75hz, with the 8:5 resolution patch mod installed, but there's no option to change my graphics settings in game to 1440*900 75hz, only have the option for 60 hz, another help

vdr1981
I wrote this before but insist
1440*900 60hz in screen and game, high graphics with no antialaising and test it with 25% of aa, 1.05 twos and update 17, 8:5 resolution patch and wind and smoke mods installed
When i go to the end of my uboat between the four torpedo tubes, and this happens when flooding in any station, i can see water condensation drops in my screen, but they are small or big rectangles with dark color and not the transparent water drops that must appears, this rectangles still persist when i walk thru the uboat or in bridge, only vanish when i teleport to periscope, is there something to do with that?
Thanks

Perfect! hanks barrind.

@ elder_gutknecht, in game screen capture is Ctrl + F11.

I have reduced this problem by going to external camera, diving underwater then back to first person camera. Not sure if this is consistent. I just had a stringbag Swordfish explode right over the rear deck and this is how I cleared the waterdrops in my avitar vision. I thought I would have major damage but miraculously remained unscathed :o

I feel your pain!:yep: But this is how it was in real life. Months of boredom in an empty ocean with nothing to see but the sea! Radio contacts are the best way to find targets in an empty ocean. Plotting the position and predicting the future position and course of radio contacts until you find one that is heading in your general direction is how you find your prey. Once you find a convoy and plan an intercept, you can use all your torpedoes on that convoy, following and transferring external stores while overtaking and then attacking again and again until you are out of ammunition. Sure beats the hell out of spawned targets that appear out of nowhere right in front of you just for you to shoot! It is a process of gathering available intelligence and resources, extracting the relevant information and using it to successfully outwit and bring about the destruction of your enemy...:yep:
