SH5: Bugs, glitches, and issues thread

[Stevelad]

Just glad I didn't fork out for this rubbish and being a non computer person trying to troll through all the tutorial on the MODS spending time doing it as written and then still getting issues just not willing to spend hours days and weeks for there to suddenly be an issue later on and loose my progress .
Happy hunting I'm off to the boozers.

My Missions aren't updating total tonnage or badges. It used to, now all the sudden they don't.
How can I fix this? Kinda sucks knowing the game is pointless because I never achieve objectives.
The only mission I get credit for is the Tutorial Mission. After that, I can sink a million tons around Britain and nothing....

Hi ed
Save yourself a lot of hassle and take a look at the TWOS mega mod.
This is the way forward for SH5 and is constantly being updated by the modder Vecko to get the best out of the game.
The YouTube videos show TWOS in action.
Check out the TWOS post #1 and see if it appeals to you.
I can highly recommend it and is a very stable platform.

I have heard a strange clinking noise when I am speeding around the seas, and then my sub dies! Like, what? This is really annoying and I would like help ASAP!

Welcome

Ahoy Captains, long lost skipper lost at sea but now Im back (for the 4th time or something)

Installed Wolves of steel mega mod with no other mods. I have reinstalled once and before this (running my own mod soup until now) never had this problem.

The problem is that I cant identify ships! There is no option, I lock on with spacebar and then it just says warship so I cant select what ship it is Im seeing. Im probably just doing something wrong that I have forgotten about being lost at sea all this time...


Thanks!

Aloha and welcome back seems that u didn't read the documentation of WoS

- Where's mine target identify button?!
In this megamod automatic target recognition is disabled due to somewhat unrealistic implementation. There really aren't to many ships to be recognized in SH5 so auto recognition while the ship is 20 km away is a huge gamebraker...Get your AutoReqButton back

Thanks Sjizzle! I promise I searched high and low and even read that part a couple of times. But that's not it, if I haven't misunderstood everything.

Here is a screenshot:
https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.co...3-39-13-97.bmp

Im missing the option to choose what ship it is that Im seeing, there should be an underline of "I have an unknown warship" but that doesn exist for me it just says "I have a warship"

I also have another UI then the old trusted TDW UI, maybe it just changed with the mega mod or those that anything to do with it?

EDIT: Figured out how to fix the UI with the python file from TDW but no luck with the main problem.

Also from FAQ...

- How do you access a recognition manual that can feed TDC?
Press "E" key or notepad lookalike charts GUI button on the bar near right edge of the screen. Recognition manual's "drag" tab will become visible near left edge of the screen. Stock Rec. manual in XO dialog screen is disabled because it's incorrect and incomplete...

Wait so if I understand this correctly the option to select what ship it is in the dialog is now removed and I know send the information to the TDC with the ship recognition manual? I don't really get any confirmation that the information is sent to the TDC so it's just a bit confusing to me sry!

Sry for being a pain in the ass, must get a bit tedious explaining this again and agian for people like me!

You'll see your confirmation if you click on "range" word in XO dialog menu after you've applied ""send data to tdc" in rec. manual . The Mast height will be updated...

Thanks a lot! Then we have it figured out.

Got a new problem though, the speed of my u-boat is a bit incorrect. In the picture here you can see that I have given the order of "Ahead slow" but it stays at "minimum speed". The speed seems to be delayed by one all the time, and in the end that means I can't stop at all it sits at minimum speed
