Many thanks for the new update

Smoke in boats: I see in 2.2.23 a very tiny smoke in the exhaust holes. Really very tiny.

Regards.

Default Shadowing destroyer?

I Have a destroyer that stays just in the horizon it never approaches and everytime I change course it does too. This is really annoying I can neither engage or disengage.

Is this a form of copy protection? Annoy me to death. I have the legal copy from steam.

Never Mind I saved and reloaded the game and it went away. Maybe a bug. I`m running the latest steam version with wolves of steel.

So after a full reinstallation, both SH5 and TWOS, it still shows 2.2.13. I don't know if this is a bug, but this version doesn't seem to work for me

I think you are a victim of an old bug of vanilla SH5, the "sticky destroyers". Save your game and reload it is the solution.

Hi GrenSo I just tested without the mods just TheDarkWraith

I tested with the test mission ... then with the campaign ... it works but the smoke and very low ... even with different engine speed with the mods is ditto .... moreover it depends on the camera angle and the light otherwise you would hardly see anything
it would be necessary to ask vdr 1981 to know where to intervene ?

Nope, not possible. All U boats have visible smoke exhausts except Uflak...

You really have be sure about your SH5 installation path before you install TWoS

In order to have clearly visible smoke exhausts, particles have to be set quite high. I have mine set one step from maximum for example...

Excuse me, but I know my SH5 installation path (E:/Spiele/Steam/Steamapps/common/Silent Hunter 5). TWOS therefore works absolutely fine, but it is still v2.2.13. Neither the update nor the full package changed anything: Top right corner says v1.20 and top left corner v2.2.13. I did every step mentioned in the PDF manual.

I use steam version of SH5 by the way.

Default Smoke exhaust

Hello Vecko I followed your recommendation ... I tried to vary the graphics parameters but nothing helped (I was already at the maximum)
ah yes thank you for the work on wolf of steel ... kind regards K.M_U669

The reason for the wrong shown version is the German translation of TWoS from Han2007, because the version is just a text in one file.
This is the reason why I do not use it anymore an play it in Englisch.

I done today a complete new installation of SH5 mit all UBI patches and install than TWoS. Everything was fine but in stock version of TWoS - without any mods - I cannot see any smoke on the subs. I know I had it in past but I cannot tell when or when I lose it, because I noticed it last weekend with TWoS version 2.2.23.
