The Wolves of Steel: Bugs, glitches and issues thread

[Duke748]

Hi Guys and apologies if this has already been covered.

I love this SH5 Add-On but it takes me 20 minutes or so to access the game. I know you have to be patient and there's a warning about getting a blank screen for 5 minutes or so, but 20 minutes!!!! At first I thought the game had crashed but not so and the game interface eventually appears.

I've no idea what TWoS is up to during that time but there's very little HDD activity as far as I can tell.

My PC isn't the latest and greatest but it's a Core I-7 (3.40GHz) with 16GB RAM and an NVidia GTX1070 graphics card.

Is there anything at all that I can do to speed up the TWoS loading time?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

If you really are desperate to speed up load times you can disable SOAN (TWoS ship recognition manual) - this will make game load very quick but you lose all useful info that comes with SOAN. To try this load OFEV application, open TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py, find SOAN and change it from true to false.

Hey Guys

Thanks for the speedy responses, much appreciated It's sounding like 20minute loading times aren't uncommon then.

How do you disable the SOAN thing?

Just spotted this:

Crikey!!! Disabling SOAN makes a hell of a difference, loads instantaneously now Thanks for the tip.

What is SOAN?

Just ship recognition manual?

Ships Of All Nations aka the recognition handbook as it appears in TWoS though I have no idea if disabling it doesnt also turn off some targeting related functions. I have it off because at the moment I'm modding the game rather than playing it, so it makes no difference to me except for fast load times.

For my game, black screen when loading game is 4 minues with SOAN on, and like 5 seconds with SOAN off.
