Hello all, and happy hunting.
I would like to ask a question regarding the changing weather patterns, or lack thereof. I am using stock TWoS 2.2.9. So, after starting a new campaign I notice the weather changes 4-6 times approximately per 24 hr cycle, however after I have been involved in the campaign beyond 3-4 patrols the weather begins to change less and less until eventually it will only change every 48 hours when I save and re-start my patrol. This forces me to re-start until I get acceptable weather, not because I mind playing in inclement weather, but because I know it won't change again until I save and restart. Is there a way to resolve this issue? I have tried shutting down and restarting the game, to no avail.

Thank all my fellow Kaleuns in advance,

Thanks for both replies. It seems to be some type of bug which sets in after a campaign extends beyond 2-3 patrols. Initially the weather will change, not routinely but on average 2-4 times per 24 hr cycle. Yes, there are times when a certain weather pattern, say medium fog for instance, will set in for several days, however even when this occurs the cloud cover will vary along with wind speed throughout the day. Once the "bug" sets in however you will get one weather pattern say "light fog, 9 mps wind and clear" for 48 hrs, and it will change only when you save and re-load the game. Hence, if you get bad weather you know that no matter what it will be there for at least 48 hours, sometimes repeating again after a re-load. The game remains then this way until a new campaign is started. The weather never changes again in mid patrol, only when a save/ reload occurs, you can hit the weather icon right after the save is reloaded, and see the new pattern, and watch the wind speed go up or down with time compression. Its a small gripe for as awesome as the game is with TWoS. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed it, and if there might be a way to resolve, and get the "dynamic weather" back. I really enjoyed having say "medium fog" then suddenly while stalking a convoy have the fog lift, or the other possible, and realistic scenarios.

Happy hunting!

Your comment is spot on.. I have the exact same issue and its game breaking for me. I used to have dynamic weather for the first two patrols, and now on my third and fourth its perma stuck with same conditions, and to reply to other people saying its realistic.. its not. No way the wind speed and direction stays the same for days over thousand of kilometers, you travel through different pressure patterns, cross them,.. will induce change in wind.



Have you found a fix?

Playing with 128x is ok even 258x I know the little TWoS manual says should save and reboot every 72 ingame hours which is what I do but usually I might go half a day of storms with high winds to clear and calm but I think I got my on seasonal weather even spring hadn't been to bad

Just exit the game and restart it every 72 game hours

Anyways I tried loading old saves, I tried a new campaign, wind is not changing..

You might try the mods gap the sh5 ecomod and dynenv v2.9 wave mechanics see what happens
Thank you for your help anyways
