No report yet on RadarSync's review but I'll keep you posted if you want. My theory is if I keep my drivers up to date then a few quirks will be eliminated as the software world evolves forward.

Do not spend your time and/or money on the software: RadarSync
I have literally spent 3+ hours trying to get their program to work and it ends up giving you older drivers than what you already have and you have to end up doing it all manual by yourself anyway. It's crap!

Yea, I've looked at other programs which claim to do the same thing once I pay their fee. Never took the bait. Driver recomendations from the forums and a net search has always worked fine for me.

Cheers,

I did a 'work around' with paying them. I did a promotional thing where I signed up for Netflix on a 2 week trial... I can/am going to cancel my Netflix any day (likely today). Netflix paid my $ for the RadarSync program... promotional/advertising thing. It added 1 day to getting my password/serial number to get the RadarSync working.. but it works now. Though poorly and not worth using.

I've been getting a lot of crashes to the desktop without any warning. No slow downs to choppiness. (What seems to be) Solid gameplay one second and boom, on the desktop the next.

You can see I have a lot of mods going, but there's only a few overwriting another (and they're supposed to be compatible. Tries reinstalling and reloading the mods after patching to 1.1. Still happens. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after an hour.

Those last two mods look odd, you're overwriting a newer mod with an older version of the same mod. Not sure if that's it though.

I dunno if someone already posted this...
I have graphic problem: sometimes when i'm on the bridge and i move mouse right and left it moves jerkily, and if i use binoculars or UZO all is fine. Sometimes i have this problem in the interior views

.
I dunno if it's a fps problem but i think to have a good configuration:

Windows7 64bit
Intel E8400 3GHz
2 Gb RAM (maybe i should try with 4)
ATI 4850 1Gb

Is that a known issue??

The nice thing about Win 7 64 is that it will support a ton of ram, I am currently running 8 gigs with great results. You may want to try and up that to at least 4, but you will be really happy with 8.

Best of luck!

Yes i installed 64bit verision for that reason

but i was waiting for a best prize! I think i'll follow your suggestion for 8 Gb...

With that mod soup action you got going there, you really have no business posting a "bug report" or issue. your software has been altered so much, there's no telling where any bugs you experience are coming from.

And herein is a problem with MANY bug reports. The devs need bug reports from THEIR software, THEIR settings, THEIR changes, not the settings or changes made by umpteen modders.

Yes, that's very true!

I'm running a few (umm,well OK, a shedload) of mods and-

I'm 40 metres below and my WO is bellowing about sighting a task force!

The sonar man reports no contacts.
Hmm...

Roll on patch day!

I saw similar pics, but never something like this. This DD got very mad on me, so mad that he actually cut his way through this sinking merchant. First he rammed the ship, then he slowly pushed through cutting down his stern. After that he dropped tons of charges on me for almost a hour, first time since I play SH5 and an escort actually is very determined to annihilate me.

I'm not sure if this a "natural" bug, or is because the AI improvement mod I use... Haramiss escort awareness mod. Seeing this through the scope was pretty scary.

Cap.Palla · 04-16-10, 04:43 AM

Well i had a similar experience...I was running exacly under a merchant and the DD shots tons of deep charges and some on the poor merchant bridge!! But i was so surprised that i didnt take a shot! I remember that in SH3 this never happened, DD usually stop engines and wait for merchants move away....

SabreHawk · 04-16-10, 10:32 AM

Wow Magnum, now what I see in that shot is just as unrealistic as having the AI too weak. It's way too far past improving the AI.
Geez the act of plowing through and splitting that merchant should have damaged the DD's bow enough to put it out of commision. Would be a very stupid act for a DD captain to pull IRL.

1. Depth Keeping is atrocious. Order 15m... I end up at 40 before the boat stops sinking and slowly rises to 18m, never acheiving the ordered depth... regardless of speed.

2. Depth under keel (modded to activate) is way off. 40m of water under the keel... navigator tells me 117m!

3. U-Boat physics are still the same as SH3... heavy seas and my props are hangin in the wind 50% of the time. The boyancy model is too simplified.

4. Damage model to merchants is out of whack. 2 Torps, 15 DG shells and the tanker is burning like a firestorm.... doing 10knots, makes port.

True, but he cut his way through the sinking merchant at slow speed. Was pretty shocking for me as I never pay attention to escorts. I just wait for the convoy to pass over me then I raise scope and fire all my torps on full speed. Usually the AI is so dumb that they never catch me in the middle of a convoy, the trick is only to stay at scope depth so they can't use their guns.

Now this guy was very different and I don't know why. I was doing my maths to have a fire solution for the next line of ships when I saw this guy shown up in my scope turning hard in my direction. But there was the burning merchant so I said.. lol, bring it on stupid, u will blow up yourself. But the DD slowed down right before the merchant and then slowly started to cut him through, then at full speed he headed into my direction. That was the moment when I said.. WTF, this is not real.. so I paused the game just to take that screenshot.

The guy had no scratch by doing this and as I said, was the first time when an escort ship was so full on hate against me. Had me to crash dive under 200m and use all kinda tricks to escape. So I don't know what was this incident, a bug or only a pissed off captain who considered that the merchant is lost anyway, so getting through him will end my cat and mouse tactic of running around the ships in the convoy. For sure, I got very impressed. Now this was a bug I liked it
