I have a few questions I haven't been able to figure out by searching:

1. I've been running 2.0.1 with the change disable mod because I started on 2.0.0. I've am just finishing a patrol and a new submarine is being offered to me but it is not a chapter end. Can I upgrade to 2.0.2 and remove the change suppress mod? Is getting a new sub (still chp 1) good enough to apply the new performance changes or should I wait for a new chapter?

This patch will cancel out Real Battery tweaks which require campaign restart contained within TWoS v2.0.0 to v2.0.x Update and therefore prevent messed up sub performances in your current carrier.

Enable it last in your JSGME modlist but don't forget to disable the patch when you decide to start new campaign OR just before you receive new submarine offer in your current career.

This patch is not needed for Captains who have started their careers with TWoS v2.0.1 and later.

Thanks.

It turns out I goofed the install and while I set up the TDW program with paths I never actually loaded the snapshot which is why dual engine controls, manual diveplanes, etc. never worked. I was thinking my 1939 torpedoes were crazy reliable.

I am having some other problems:

1. Officer orders are getting stuck highlighted: E.g. Soundman, reports, nearest contact the "reports" is getting stuck. To ask for the nearest contact twice in a row I have to select the Soundman, deselect him, and select him again for the "reports" option to reset from yellow to white. Maybe there is some combination of OptionsFileEditorViewer choices that would make this less painful.

2. Several messages are delivered twice identically like weather reports, recharging batteries.

3. Map lat/long lines and text are really low contrast and hard to read.

4. Previous patrol had me go to X grid for 200km/48h which I did in one game session and sunk ships in it and reported status and I was never given a 2nd grid. Encrypted radio messages have completely stopped. I'd really like to get the encrypted back and be able to progress through the 3 grid assignments.

5. Making super or nav marks on maps is very difficult. Most times I have to zoom way out and put the mark far away and then move it after creation like it doesn't like being put in the middle of the screen (about the same size as attack disk?). Sometimes I can't make a super mark until I've made a nav mark first.

Weird issue
 
I got a weird issue. I followed the instructions and did a complete reinstall deleting all my prior data because i figured something is goofing this up. Ive got two bugs. And not sure why.

Internet connection bug. Never had this before but now i do... O well just escape to work around but its very annoying

Second bug im not sure why but the mod options on the map on what it displays is completely black with check marks. Since ive been playing twos since almost conseption i decided to just play with the boxes till i got roughly what i wanted.

Can anyone help me with these retarded bugs? Or can some one post a picture of the map menu lol so i can at least do a work around

Nemesis Bosseret 06-06-17 01:39 PM

Small update. Slept on it over night and currently working.

I believe it could be caused from the config file or directX 9. I checked troubleshooting and i defiently used the dirext x in the pack but maybe thats no good? Or maybe thats the games original out dated dirext X.

Secondly the config file we are supposed to delete i might of deleted the wrong one under the wrong user(my documents is a bit of a mess trying to remerge my documents and some are in my old user file while others are in my current)

My old os died a few days ago and i had to do a fresh install of windows 10. So its possible im missing important network / drivers for the game..

i did follow the directions tho to the letter in my half awake state. Im going to reverify everything when i get home but just to be specific and maybe pin point the issue im going to list the bugs ive currently got

1. Maps- options to specify what both maps show is blank, i have the check boxes but no text telling me what im checking

2. Internet connection error(working around by using esc/attempted TDW patch to disable but to no avail, game is installed in D:\ and paths in TDW config where updates to the proper folder)

3. Glitchy boats in world. Having minor graphical glitches on rendered ships(almost confirms my belief it could be direct X )

4. Primary mission objectives are not properly displayed but instead got the object#&\, thing followed by accurate submissions ie intercept / destroy polish task force.

5. Captians log works(shows all messages and updates aka torpedo in the water and ship sunk, enigma messages slow to render in), menus to display radio traffic on right colum show up blank or just with GPS coords(enigma is installed and decyption works properly).

If anyone has any idea what i screwed up or how to fix, please let me know, i went thru the full installation process twice, i deleted all files from both game and my documents including my old saves and did fresh game install, running in administrator/ win 7 capatibility mode. Trying to be as thuro as possible with this bug report. Its more than likely something on my pc and not the mod or game but im not super fluent with how this game communicates and functions with the computer as it is a buggy mess by ubisoft

Did you try this? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=221438

From what I see on various forums, it seems that Win 10 and older games do not go "hand to hand" quite frequently, especially after major official upgrades ect...

EDIT:
Still on Win7 here so I don't think I can help you.
Maybe you should open new thread and ask about experiences of other Win 10 users who play SH5/TWoS without such problems...

It worked before my os died lol. I played it for a bit on the patch before you added the enigma and if i didnt have such needy other games i would still be on win 7. I hate win 10. So im thinking its net c ++ or a botched dirext x version.

Ivd got team viewer if you want to check it out and teamspeak. I just want to play the mod and relive glory years because im a prior submariner lol

Osi.exe completely missing from uplay.... Wonder if thats causing the issues?

Nemesis Bosseret 06-06-17 09:12 PM

When ever anyone reads this, this is how you correct my bonkers bug.. Ive gone thru the following troubleshooting / correcting process.

1.per ubisoft deleted uplay, went into registry and deleted everything for uplay , deleted silent hunter 5. All data.

2. Reinstall uplay, reinstall silent hunter 5, verify game chache

3. Verify game integrity and play without mods to verify that game runs no problems, play thru tutorial and nuke the 4 ships so you can check everything.

4. Install TwoS 2.0.0(verbatum from instructions)

5. Verify game integrity
Again by playing the game

6. Install update 2.0.2..... Verify integrity of game....add nasium

7.enjoy the game.... If anything fails. Shoot ur computer lol

Nemesis Bosseret 06-06-17 09:51 PM

For the record... It worked too.

Is there a way to change how many ability points you are rewarded at the end of a patrol? Feel it currently gives too many and would love to cut it in half.

I got one remaining bug thats a bit annoying and not sure if its a corupt save or if its something else.
While in the periscope/ anywhere using the identification book/ or stock id system i cant select which ship it is, it stays as "warship/ freighter" etc. Or the book gets stuck on escort or warships and wont open for freighters/ tankers etc. And the draft will not display in the top corner for torpedo depth, i can work around a bit by using good judgment or save and reload but still the draft silote doesnt show. What should i do to correct? Everything else is working fine as far as i can tell if not better than stock game 100%

Typically ive got that problem too. Maybe use a higher difficulty like i em to increase ur duds and chance of misses. Typically im at 400ik to 500k tons sunk before i transfer to loreant aka France. Which by then my crew is totallt maxed out.

I try to avoid harbor raids due to issues it causes. Unless of course im chasing a target/ convoy.... Then everything is fair game. Or scapa flow... One time walked out with 120k. 2 battle ships, to troop ships and a carrier. One or two freighters with the dexk gun and possiblt a destroyer lol. I died a few months later to a mine in tc but prob one of the most epic runs.

I typically play on a veey high custom setting with only map contacts shown and external camera. No real navigation. .....yet.. Everything else is. Checked

This current build of the mod how ever not doing so hot. Stuka dive bombers nuked the polish mine layer. The gernan capital task force nuked the escort after i air balled two shots because she decidd to fo flank right when i let my second lead shot go. Both fish almost scraped her rudder from 700meters ... 2 perfect solutions waisted ... Then caught a freighter ib danzing bay that did a course change whicg almost ran me over but did a hook shot and nailed her engine room. A greedy german cruiser some how snuck into the bay and nuked every parked ship. Leaving only fishing trols to shoot at. Now im hunting straggers

Lol you might want to update start over. And if you have and got it cranked up like me or worse. And are padding ur tonnage. You might just be on a lucky run

THEBERBSTER 06-07-17 11:33 AM

Hi Nemeses
You are running the latest Windows Creator version 1703.
IIRC on June 1st Microsoft did an update and updated the GPU driver to the incompatible version of 382.05 for Silent Hunter 3-4-5.

I would advise anybody to use the rollback tutorial below if they have Nvidia driver version 382.05 or are experiencing a total blank screen and your troubles should be over.
