SH5: Bugs, glitches, and issues thread

Onkel Neal · 02-25-10, 06:59 PM

Got the new SH5 game? Is there something out of whack? A bug, some feature that's not working properly?

Post it here, not in a new thread, please.

It's pretty common for a new PC game to have some bugs and glitches, so before we have a forum full of "OMG! The so-and-so feature is broke!", if you come across any concerns, post them here. Be sure to describe the issue fully, when it occurs, and your system specs. Make sure you have the latest patch installed, too.

This thread will open 3/2.

thanks,
your friend,

Neal

Wow, what a day to be released from the Brig! The light is bright out here

.

Thanks Neal

I hope business on this particular thread will be slow i.e. no bugs to report

Oh, but there are dozens of bugs. Many people who haven't seen the game are reporting them all the time.

It will be interesting to hear about the real ones.

Hello - like your Tonkin patch...been there done that (But not in the Gulf). I have SH5 - ran it ok in XP but in WIn 7 pro 64 bit all I get is the vid beginning and nothing else! That's a pain in the ass huge f**king bug. So far no help from anyone including Ubisoft (can't hold my breath forever). Any ideas? As far as The Republic of....USN, never again!

Is the game patched to 1.2 ?

Hi Guys,

I have a major graphics problem with SH5. I have a Geforce GTX 275 video card, Intel C2D 3GHZ, 4GB RAM and Windows 7 OS (64-bit).

Games run fine on my pc and the last one i played was Bioshock 2 which ran great.

When I play SH5, I am unable to see water, sky or anything. Just a dark grey area and my sub. The text that come have white background and light colour text thus its tough to read. Thus the game is unplayable now.

Usually I keep my pc upto date. Surprised to see this? I have also applied the latest patch of SH5. I did try tweaking some display settings but it didnt help.

What should I do ?

Thanks,
GR

I had installed it in D:\Games folder. Is that ok or should I reinstall.

I'm so pissed of now. I shot tribal class destroyer with torpedo, thought it will sink on it's own and was going to leave the area and return to base since I had completed my mission at hand. Saved my game. Game crashed after a while. Reloaded my save and the enemy ship was back in fully working condition, started to hunt me down and still my torpedoes were gone. I know this is reported already, but is there a way to get around this problem?

Thats fine but reinstall is the only solution to the missing sea issue.

Bug or not, but this should be patched:

The guy in the screen shot is talking to the captain, but looking into the opposition direction while talking.

ddrgn · 02-28-10, 02:15 AM

I noticed a few bugs playing lan tonight

-hit F2 when in the scope and you see the external cam in the scope
-leave the bridge, order a dive then look though scope, your men are still on the bridge

more to come im sure

Soviet_Warlord · 02-28-10, 02:55 AM

Sometimes when making small talk with the crew, the conversation screen just closes and you have to click your crewman and redo the conversation to finish it. Also, crew members keep turning from side to side in some conversations.

Crew clipping. Maybe not a bug, but it sure blows when you try to find an officer and you find out you're occupying his "spot" and is thus invisible. Crew should be solids, and should react to your presence and get out of way when needed. This should apply to crew on the watch as well.

Water tiling! A graphics bug that might be a limitation of the game engine, but should never have been permitted to remain in SH5. And I'm seeing it a lot. Clear patterns in ocean waves when seen from certain angles is an immersion-killer that looks dreadful. The water in SH5 would be very good without this problem.

Binoculars. On the bridge, when you are in free-look mode (having pressed rightmousebutton), and then roll the mousewheel forward for the binoculars and then roll it back to stop using binoculars, you are no longer in free-look mode. Irritating when you're trying to do quick sweeps of the horizon.

You get a popup at the start of SH5 saying "Save games synchronized with server" even if you've turned off save-game uploading,

BUG: No fair-play for multiplayer matches, single and multimission not supported to be more interesing

#1 Signatures.
Many players play in multiplayer in 'fair-paly' clan games.
Just like in SH4, SH5 currently playing as fair play is difficult. If a clan does accept signatures, the player must disconnect from game to turn it off.
Why did the change take place on the main menu?
If someone play multiplayer game, why can not turn on/off during the game?

And gold solution:
Why host cannot determine what conditions are to allowed on the server? For example:

All players will be signed off
All players will be included in the signatures
Depends on player status: SURV = signatures are turn off, KIA = turn on
According to individual player settings

... and everyone would be happy.

#2 Unchangable mission for single & multiplayer.
Why one mission can not be played under 1000 different conditions?
Much more interesting missions are the same missions played in various (or random) weather conditions (set the original as default).
For example:

Mission Time: night, day, dusk, dawn (4)
Wind: none, small, medium, large (4)
Weather: none, partially clouds, overcast (3)
Fog: none, small, medium, large (4)
Precipitation: None, rain, snow (3)
Precipitation: solid, variable (strength and time random and changed in time) (2)

The same mission played under about 4x4x3x4x3x2 ... 1000 conditions!
(In fact, a little less conditions: precipitation when ovecast, type of precipitation when precipitation are turned on).

It can be assumed that one single mission has the right to get boring - but if could be played in extremely different conditions (from stormy night with full cloud cover, precipitation, and dense fog to sunny windless day, the visibility excellent) can be played again and again... and player must change his attack style to be successfully.

So a simple solution - why cannot be implemented?
