@ 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

:Kaleun_Cheers:

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:

No, the issue has nothing to do with duplicated IDs. This type of CTD would be quite easy to track down but unfortunately this is not the case. I have even tried to remap all IDs for some "faulty" dat units but nothing has changed...

In short, some dat objects just can not work 100 % stable in combination with complex SH5's sub models while some other dat objects works perfectly fine.

I'll probably add more new ship types when I'm done...

However , there will be some serious cuts in american airplane rooster. I'm aware for quite long time that almost all american imported OHII planes are very problematic for game stability and this time I'm afraid , they go right trough the window...:yep:

Also, If someone help me to convert several small env units into gr2 format, almost 100% CTD free SH5 will be very possible. :yep:

New episode from POTUS available.
Post #150 Let's Play Silent Hunter 5, The Wolves Of Steel Modpack By Potus

Because I wont be around for next 2-3 weeks or so, I'm uploading new TWoS 1.06 test version here.

Because of my revision of all imported dat objects , this megamod version should bi significantly more stable than anything before. You'll noticed that American airplane rooster now misses several airplane types (I used British planes to fill the gap) but also I've added several new merchant types from SH4 (not fully fine tuned but in working order)...

Some environmental units are still problematic (mines and buoys) so make sure to save the game when approaching the areas where these units can be encountered, just like before ( all in game ports, coastal waters, narrow straights ect...)

Note that the test version should be savegame compatible but any changes will be visible only after fresh Campaign start or advancement to the next campaign chapter...

Test version will be available on following link in several hours...Spread the word and sink 'em all! :up:

Six years later and SH5 is getting closer to being a playable and CTD free game!:)
