I can't get under 30m in sh5
 

Hello all,

i'm new on the forum so if i posted my topic in the wrong section please correct me. My problem is that i can't get under 30m under water. Whenever i do that my compressor, battery and other stuff are destoryed, i get flooded and then i die. What seems to be the problem here??

Alexacco -

where are you playing when you dive? If, like me, you started in the Balkan sea you're probably hitting the bottom. Have your Navigator report depth under keel. The report he gives will probably tell you why you're getting damaged. :)

This question and the answer by Spectre, reminded me of that guy who couldn't see through his lowered periscope :rotfl2:

Welcome aboard Alexacco :salute:

Welcome to subsim Alexacco :salute:


:haha::har::rotfl2:

Gotta eliminate issues caused by the poor documentation before we move onto something else, right? :D

:arrgh!:

I'm 100% sure that i'm not hitting the bottom beacuse i'm in the middle of the atlantic. It's really anoying. I have 3 destroyers behind, not one torpedo and simply can't get rid of them if i'm 25m under water. Currently playing happy times.
+ i would like to know wich mods did he used (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SAUQDFvils) beacuse he has a bunch of stuff on the screen and i don't??

Thanks in advance

Almost impossible to know what mods are used in a video and, depending upon when it was done, it's probably out of date.

There are a few threads with people asking what mod packages will get them started:

is a good baseline. :)

Good luck and welcome aboard :D

your argument is impeccable :yep:


probably your hull has suffered so much damage that it cannot stand the extra pressure of diving from 25 to 30 m. Try reloading an old savegame or an historical mission, and dive to test wehter your game is in order or not :03:

You are probably looking for New UI's. You can get te last version of this mod from the following thread:

:D
Agreed...that looks like TDW's UI alright :D

Thanks for the advice. Is there a way to check hull status and where it can be repaired. And i was wondering how to order your crew to fire with a deck gun or is that impossible. I know that shells of fury had this option.

Both are possible using one of the custom UI's available for SH5.

Enable one of them and ask for help in their respective threads if you don't get out locating the appropriate commands :up:

Okay so i've tried a custom ui (link: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181370) and this one (link: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093). They look really awesome but it seems i can't get rid of some additional windows with flags, time lines...
If i click ''go to the game'' or ''ok'' or if i try to close them nothing happens. What am i doing wrong. I didn't have any problems with other mods.

I would strongly recommend you looking at this thread. You don't have to follow absolutely all steps in it, but you can start looking through things like: how to install mods with jsgme and what little tweaks can you apply to make your game run better.

I believe your problem comes from either 1) corrupted downloads (possible that the archiver that you are using is not able to open the files properly, try 7-zip); 2) you are installing incorrectly, causing files in weird places to cause weird things :)

You also can check the status of your hull/uboat by going to:
1) go to Crew Management
2) Clicl on Sub Systems Menu

You should update your game to v 1.2 before enabling any custom mod. Your current version is displayed on the top right corner of the main menu. Don't trust ubisoft's autoupdater: download the 1.2 patch, and apply it manually :yep:

Hey guys, you may laugh, but I have the same problem..
just tried to install game to the laptop and while loading I see some pop-ups like below and then in the bunker the same as alexacco has..

I was in a stupor :haha:

Win7 32-bit, .NET framework v3.5.1 and 4.0, my game and my mods transferred via memory stick..
