SH5: Bugs, glitches, and issues thread - Page 128

Hi everybody,

as seen on the screenshot above I'm having troubles with my loop antenna and a mysterious 3rd periscope or radar antenna pole appearing instead.

After a fresh installation everything works fine for a while, but at some time when I'm loading a saved game my loop antenna disappears and that weird radar antenna pole appears, which can't be retracted (at least I don't know how to)...

As the only mod I'm running "The Wolves of Steel", would be glad if someone could help me here...

Hi kanguh

Are you loading an automated saved game?

Are you loading your own saved game?

How are you saving your games i.e., surfaced, avatar on deck?

I'm usually loading my own saved games, and I always use unique names, so I don't overwrite old saved games.

But recently I was forced to reload a autosave as SH5 crashed, and the problem appeared again soon after.
(Unfortunately I can't tell exactly WHEN the bug reappeared, cause I weren't actively looking for it anymore since the last fresh installation as I thought it was gone).
Do you think a corrupted autosave file might have caused the problem? And is there a way to easily fix that, besides a fresh installation?

Hi there, is the tonnage bug still around?

THANK YOU FINALLY!!! So it seems what you have done is kept the missions and objectives in and overall tonnage tracking in, but turned it to be more SH3 like?? Just choose a mission by date and head there.

Exactly... Individual objectives and other stuff are still there but they are date (not tonnage) controlled.

.

Default tonnage bar concept was vary bad in many ways...For example, the game would count neutral ship kill if done in appropriate area and it will fill your tonnage bar, but at the same time the game will also give you negative rating points...Ridiculous...

WOS highly recommended.

I know that, I had 1.02 installed before. But my question is if 1.03 and the mod removing the tonnage bar work together?

It's a stock bug. Disable 3d clouds to fix this.

Wish there would be a better solution but anyway
thank you very much,vdr1981...

By default , developers set unrealistically high underwater view range just to "mask" their mistake...

If we adjust underwater visual range to more realistic values like in SH3 or SH4, then developers sloppy work becomes even more obvious.

But, I choose realistic values even if that requires to disable 3D clouds option temporally while I'm submerged...

Hey just a question, will the tonnage fix work for WOS 1.03?? Or is it already built in??

Just check WoS tips and FAQ and you'll find all answers...

Hi guys.

Firstly a big thank-you to all you modders.

I have the WoS 1.04 with patch 1 installed. I have followed the install instructions to the book.

The problem I am having is that when I give the command for periscope depth the periscope depth process begins as normal but stops when the engine is switched to electric at around 10 meters and the process icon on the right freezes at around 80% and stays there displayed. Also the engine actually stops (according to the dial) Then if I click on the dial for minimum speed a voice will say “speed one third” or something like that but always a speed higher than what I selected.
Also if I click on the depth gauge/dial it will cancel out my engine speed dial (goes to stop)and visa versa.

I have tried a number of reinstalls and searched this problem but I cannot find anyone else having this problem.

I own the collectors edition of SH5 which I purchased on release.

My system is
Windows 7 64bit.
AMD phenom 965 quad core.
AMD hd7770 1gig
8 gig ram (although sh5 detects 4 gig)

Once again thankyou so much guys for your mods.
