Thanks, finally found it after browsing the FAQ about three time, I must be blind!

Unfortunately the answer was a bit of a let down, as I understand it WoS broke the command in one of the patches and now I simply can't stop my u-boat as I get stuck on "minimum speed" or have to play with SH3 UI. Being able to stop your u-boat is quite important. There is no fix then? Thought it was just some weird key mapping issue but I guess not.



Thanks for all the help, much appreciated as a captain trying to understand all the changes! Just want to make clear that I'm not bashing on anyone's mod and I do really appreciate all the work people put in to fixing sh5! THANKS!

You can use up and down keys to select "All stop" with SH5 Enhanced UI or...You can click "1/3 ahead" (level 2) and then select "all stop" or...Press lctrl and command 0 kn speed...As you can see , there are number of possibilities, you just need to explore them...

Dont worry , questions like yours are actually quite useful for me because they will point out how to improve TWoS tips...

Default TDW's Generic Patcher

3 times in the last 24 hours this piece of junk has rendered my instilation of Silent Hunter 5 unplayable. I have long thought he was overrated and now im sure i will never use anything Modded by him again.

Well, I bought SH5 for 2,95 € few days ago on the Ubisoft-Store.

I played the tutorial mission and the first german mission british coastal water.
After that i went back to bremerhafen, and safed the game.
Now I wanted to go to next mission "british supplies" but the mission bar won't fill up.

I've read every thread here, but i don't know, what really is to do o.O
Is this fixing the problem, or Openhorizons or something else?

Silent Hunter III from 2005 bring your game play to 2015 with the
LIVING SILENT HUNTER III EDITION 2015 Mega Mod


The game is bugged unless you use TDW's Generic File Patcher.

I would advise using one of the mega mods where you will find a stable game and also some useful instructions.

that tonnage bar is a old annoying bug.... fix for that bug can be found here
i really suggest u to play with TWoS mega mod which one can be found here
and also TWoS remove the tonnage bur from the game befor install TWoS read all the mega mod documentation and also there is a video hoow to install the mega mod
and also u will ned the TDW's generic patcher which one fix 95% of the vanilla game bugs how to use the patcher here

do not play the vanilla version of the game is damn buggy and unplayable .....

PS. the game must be version 1.2 to use TWoS and tdw's generic patcher !!!!

Thanks for the reply.
I dont know, which version i have. I downloaded the game over uplay, and think, that it will be the latest version, becouse patch 1.1 and patch 1.2 which i downloaded seperatly wont be installed.

I will try the mods.

Omg is this complicated.
I thought Uplay update the game automatically
After I read this thread, I dont know:

I am an absolute newbie to Silent Hunter - I do not play SH I, II, III, or IV -, so I have no mods installed. Just the clean Uplay-version. I just thought: "for 3 Euro I can take a look on this game..."

Have I just right clicking the osi.exe and mark the "run as admin"-option, same with Sh5.exe, start the game, go back to desktop, strg - alt - del, go to task manager, go to osi.exe*32, and set priority to "real time", then go back to game and it runs?
Or DO I have to download some mods to run it nearly bugless?

*edit* Btw: Now I see the "V 1.2.0" in the right top corner.

But isn't TWoS mega mod not a mod with some optical changes?
I just want Silent Hunter 5 in vanilla-optical style without any optical changes :/

Hm. I found out, that a new campaign activate the mission bar until you save and quit the game. After quitting and start SH again the mission bar wont fill anymore.

But I found this thread. This is easier to understand for me
Hope, it will help.
