I completed the installation. When I try to launch the game, I now get:





Before installation of TWOS, I ran the stock game, and it ran fine. I am using the Uplay version.

Easy to be solved. Right click on the program icon. Then select " Properties ". Then select the " Compatibility " tab. In the window that will open select the " Chamge high DPI settings " tab.
In the windows that will open put the check mark on " Override high DPI scaling behaviour. " and then from the cascade menu select " System " ( By default is set on " Application " instead ). Click " Ok/Aplly " and than restart the program. This works for any program that you may have difficulties reading the prompts/writings on a 4K monitor ( Win 10 only obviously )

Ill be back with questions later. Just reassigned to Lorient.

Transfer reserve torpedoes while at sea. Would somebody care to explain?

I'm stopped, calm seas, ordered fore reserve torpedo to transfer to fore tubes. And its taking FOREVER! even on 256 speed its only at 94%

You need to activate the Torpedoman ability to transfer external torpedoes either by talking to him or hotkey F12.

Have done that, it still takes up to 2 days to transfer 1 torpedo

NOTE:


The PDF of the Installation Instructions on the first post of this thread does not mention replacing the SH5.exe with the DVD version for Uplay/Steam versions.

I was following those instructions. When I followed the instructions that are installed when the modpack is installed, then it started working for me.


I believe replacing the SH5.exe was what was making it not work for me.

Default Weird black box

I want to start with this mod at least looks awesome, unfortunately I haven't been able to play it yet. There is a black box in the upper left corner of the screen. there is now way to close it (it looks like map panel or something like that). Any ideas?

Maybe a stupid statement but it seems to me that both download links available here and in the other sticky TWoS thread redirect to the same download page so maybe worth closing/archieve this thread so to avoid possible confusion for Steam users? Just a suggestion.

Default Getting TWOS to Work

Hi Fellow Skippers

I used to run SH5 with TWOS mod no problem a year or so ago however when I decided to resume my career the game would not load. I then went to starting from scratch with a fresh install of game and mod, the game without mod works but when I install the mod the game loads but upon leaving the base screen I get a CTD.

I have endeavoured to follow the TWOS instructions to the letter when I substitute the mod exe file after mod installation there is no exe file in my game directory and when I click on KSD Commander I get must be located in root folder message.

I'm kind of at my wits end so if any kind soul could perhaps point me in the right direction I would be most grateful. For info my version of the game was the DVD which I purchased pretty much upon release but Ubisoft Connect describes it as Gold Edition.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Default New Player

Hi, I downloaded the recent mod because of frustrations with the original game play. However is their some way I can edit something in reference to the damage page as they are in german. I get german ship german descriptions but if someone can point me in the right direction would be appreciated. I have fixed the the german voices to english from threads on this issue, but havent seen anything to point me in the right direction to fix this issue. I am new to this game even though owning for some time but stop playing for some years and thought I give it another go. Moreover, I do like the mod.

Thanks in advance.

I have noticed twice now that antisubmarine nets are floating in space.


The first was when I raided Scapa Flow. This is near Bergen.





Also, how do I adjust the accuracy of the WO range reporting? It is too sloppy right now. I know this was nerfed for realism but I am playing no map updates so I want more accuracy until I get the hang of range estimation myself.


Thanks,

Thanks,
Are you using some other mods? I made some raids in Scapa and never see this. Also, now I´m in the Arctic campaign and in Bergen as base, never see this...
Use OFEV for change the WO accuracy.
