Hi NN
Game play options are linked to your realism setting you chose when you stared a new campaign.
Post #61 Game Play Settings In Silent Hunter 5

Please note if you are playing with patch 13 then the percentages showing will show lower on anything lower than "Realistic".

Game Play Options can be changed before doing your bunker save.

The game is designed to be played at "Realistic = 100%
This will not suit the majority of gamer's and you should set a level of play that you are comfortable with and importantly are going to enjoy.
If it does not suit you then it is no big to start a new campaign again at a different realism level and customizing your game play levels to suit.

Never come across your Uplay problem before.

I reinstalled uplay and it seems to have solved the problem. I am in game and messing around.

I got this mod to make the game more realistic so, full realism it is. (just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to break anything!)

Already I am seeing stuttering and massive dips in frames. I have a gtx 970 and a FX8350 and 32 gigs of ram...

In the install video by TheNorseCast he explains what to do with the osi.exe - which I did but it doesn't ever show up in my processess to change the priority so I'm a bit confused...??? Everything else was done to the T and seems to be working.

i have 16g ram and gtx 960. I have it on max settings and its running smoothly as a movie..

That part is optional and not entirely necessary with TWoS...Check FAQ for more...

Do any of you guys know if the voice recognition mod works if you are using wos? Of course there are many new features in wos, but I was just curious if the voice commands basic intended functions still work.

Hi Vecko
Can you check the patch 14 download as it is taking you to the bonus mods.

Peter

Yes, confirmed...:doh:
Here's alternative download ...


The Wolves of Steel 1.04 - Patch 14

Hi Vecko
The patch 14 readme text file seems to contain a lot of information from patch 13 in it?

Under other tweaks it states patch 13 and not patch 14.
You do not normally carry forward old information.

Peter

Is that a problem? :hmm2:
Patch 13 brings more changes so I decide to keep the change log in patch 14...:yep:
There's patch 14 rubric too...

Error: "The internet connection experiences problems and the current game session was saved. Please wait until the internet connection is restored or hit ok to return to main menu"

Cause: Owning 2 copies of game, one steam (still uses uplay), one uplay. Uplay launcher launching wrong "version" of game resulting in uplay connection and or sync issue.

Solution: Rather than launching game through uplay do a direct launch via sh5.exe. Make sure to run as admin and compatibility mode of your OS. Launching this way enables you to "choose what version" via a uplay menu that should pop-up (note this WILL NOT pop up if launching from uplay!). There is no way to tell what version is which. Out of the two identical choices the bottom one worked for me. (tested 6 new game starts and loads and they all worked,) - interestingly enough when launching this way the incorrect version will just cycle uplay trying to connect within the same window - got you.

Notes: This issue has NOTHING to do with having two versions of the game installed or previous registry data causing conflicts. I am on a fresh install of windows 8.1 and the steam version hasn't been installed. Having owned both steam and non steam SH5 gold editions - the ONLY way to differentiate between the two is during the install process. My steam version won't allow me to select english or german voices. THIS is how I determined that I was about to install the non steam version I needed. In uplay you see a clone of a game - there is no other way to differentiate between the two. And drms are so lovely, you can't delete things from your library...

I'm sure this isn't a common issue. Maybe it will help someone. Time to go noob it up weeeee :rock:

Hello, everyone!

I'd like to replace 'Das Boot' content with original title screen and crew icons.

Please, tell me, if it's possible to disable this in mod's options. Or, if I'll need to replace icons and movie files, which folder they placed?

Thank you for your quick response. I've already read these threads and haven't found anything about adding and removing certain icons and movies. Instead, I searched the both - original and mod folders and replaced 'skins' and and 'BACK.BIK' prior to enable the mod. Seems working.

As I understood, the lower Officers bar is similar to what we had in SH3, so, maybe 'Captain America' incons from GWX would fit?

Welcome aboard !

Welcome to SubSim tracer :sunny:

I can't continue the RAOBF Wheel tutorial. The next button says "disabled" - I have raised the periscope over and over... I really wish there were some quality tutorial videos for these mods.
