these are the 4 main issues I'm currently facing

First of all I encounter quite a lot CTD's. I never got the game running longer than 1 hour without having a CTD. So that is nearly unplayable.
Edit 15.10
I did another install dance.
With the Mod soup below I wasn't even able on a new career to get through the Kiel Canal withouth CTD, but this time the CTD left me at least with Debug that the crash was related to the msvcr90.dll. Steam Client was always trying to install .NET Framework 2.0 SP1. The Problem here is that I need to have both version x68 and x64 of .NET Framworks installed as these are needed for different add-om to my Development Tools.
To refuse Steam of trying to installing the .NET Framework on every game launch adding following registry entry fixed the issue
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Valve\Stea m\Apps\48110\ windowsInstaller_x64 REG_DWORD =1
but still CTD's

So another dance this time MOD by MOD game launch new career new mission will update if the CTD's were related to ne of the MODS

End Edit
Game Syncronisation, even so I turned off the Sync option in the Ubi Launcher save games are syncronised with the Server. I did few fresh installs, deleting the SH5 folder from user/my documents, too. Old save games are appearing in the folder again after the first game load.
Windowed mode, the game always loads in full screen mode, even so I set the option to be windowed mode
free camera, my campain setting is relism, but external camera turned on. If I try to use the external camera either throught the TDW camera option or the normal in game option buttons I stuck to the boat and I can't use the mouse to rotate the view.

here are my specs:

Ok quite alot for a first post but maybe some of the excellent specialists can giude me into the right direction.

My suggestions in red above and make sure your install is patched to v1.2.
If not run the updater (gu.exe) in the support folder.

I started playing SH5 a week ago and have really enjoyed the game, lots of fun, started off with a basic mod list and have had a couple CTDs, hopefully, due to maxing out the graphics settings.
Last night, I gave antilag a try, installed antilag.cfg and d3d9.dll in C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 and set the max framerate at 35 fps.
Here is the problem; the game loads but the saved campaign does not load. The little radar symbol in the lower right hand corner just sits and spins and spins and spins. After moving the antilag files out of C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 and restarting the game, the saved campaign is able to load normally.
I have not had a chance to play around and find a fix, but maybe folks in this forum have seen this before, can come up with a fix or point me in the right direction.

Welcome to the forum mr Twister

You say your campaign doesn't load after applying the d3d Antilag and your setting is FPSlimit=35, right...

As for RenderAheadLimit - what figure do you have here?

What happens if you don't load your campaign, just start a 'Historical Mission'?

Cheers

Do you mean CTD on launch or when you get into the main menu?
Or does it CTD in game when playing?
Please tell when/where it stops working.

You can be confident, in this forum with all it's brilliant members you'll soon be up and running.

Cheers

I don't think I'm patched to v1.2, only have updates from Ubisoft when initially starting. My saved games get synced with the server. I get to select "Continue Campaign" then loading takes forever, goes to a dark screen and I hear a "click" audio and then I get the Windows7 message about program has stopped working , check online.......... or Close Program. When I close this out I get the server page with the After Game Report.

MrTwister · 10-21-11, 10:47 AM

Thanks guys, the render ahead limit is set at 2 and I did not try to load a historical mission. I followed the video tutorial on reducing VGA heating, and antilag seems to be working now. The load times are longer than when antilag is not enabled, but at least, SH5 is loading, time to sink some ships and a big thanks to all those that created the mods that make SH5 a great sim.

Look at the top left of the page when in main menu to see if you have v1.2
If you dont have 1.2 go here and run app
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\GU.exe
This will update your game to v1.2.

While playing SH5 (or trying to) the frame rate and mouse cursor are slow and jumpy in game while at the main menu the mouse cursor moves normal and the background moves normal too.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Try the d3d Antilag, download here; http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/BadgerFinn

Read the readme .txt file, you can't enable it through JSGME.

Patched to version 1.2.0

Mad_Mark · 11-07-11, 06:56 PM

I have not played this for a few weeks and the only thing I know that has changed is I updated my GPU drivers and updated Open Horizons to version 4 from 3 and today when i start playing I get the sub jerking along the water and my char also has jerky movement while walking along , although while on deck the sub no longer appears jerky only when in external view.
I had this issue with Silent hunter 3 when that first came out but that was due to Vertical sinc enabled in con fig file I seem to remember.
Any help please would be appreciated as to what is causing this old problem to appear now.
All other aspects of the game run just fine even in the crowded harbours.
Its just my sub in external view and me walking that is jerky.

Update.
Antilag patch solved my problem thanks for that.
