SH5: Bugs, glitches, and issues thread

[Sharkbait24]

I doubt anyone will be able to help me on this, however I'll give it a shot.

SH5 has run well for me for a year or so, but i've started to encounter a problem in which i'll be in the middle of a mission and the game just closes. No error, nothing. I don't know if it has anything to do with the problem, but at the time of the failures I'm on approach into Reykijavic to prey on some docked ships.

My computer's specs, if it's nessecary:

Intel Core i5 CPU 2.8 GHz
4 GB RAM
64-bit Windows 7
2x NVIDIA GTX 460 SLI

Are you running any mods?

NewUIs v0.2.0? You definitely want to upgrade. Latest version is v6.8.0

Try removing the shadow improvement mod

Could be SLI giving problems.

I have the same graphics card setup as you.
Just the other day I used nvidia control panel to force SLI for the SH5.exe
All worked well untill I got ctds every time I left or entered a harbour (within 30km)
I removed the SLI profile for SH5 and the issue was fixed

I disabled all my mods, and it works fine now. Now for the tedious task of finding out which one it was. (probably the shadow improvement, thanks TDW)


Much Thanks, guys!

The game randomly crashes for no obvious reason.

Once it crashed while I was in Scapa Flow, submerged, getting ready to attack a capital ship. Other times it crashes when I activate speech recognition. Then again it crashes even though I'm not doing anything.

Going from a Geforce GTX 260 to a 550ti seemed to lower my random crashes.

[Sartoris]

Well I'm using a 560Ti, so the graphic card power shouldn't be an issue, I think.

I have just reinstalled SH5 after updating my system to Windows7 64bit, 8GB RAM and 1GB nVidia graphics card in a Toshiba Satellite Laptop. Worked fine previously but hadn't played it much prior to the update. I'm not running any add ons. Not happy

Anybody having similar issues or got any suggestions. I held off buying this sim for a long time due to the UbiSoft internet connection requirement but finally bit the bullet, only to be disapppointed.

Hi mate,

SH5 stops working you say, and no add ons.
Are you patched to v1.2?
Do you mean CTD on launch or when you get into the main menu?
Or does it CTD in game when playing?
Please tell when/where it stops working.

You can be confident, in this forum with all it's brilliant members you'll soon be up and running.

Cheers

I used to play SH3 a few years ago with GWX and just started this week to give SH5 a try.

these are the 4 main issues I'm currently facing

1. First of all I encounter quite a lot CTD's. I never got the game running longer than 1 hour without having a CTD. So that is nearly unplayable.
   Edit 15.10
   I did another install dance.
   With the Mod soup below I wasn't even able on a new career to get through the Kiel Canal withouth CTD, but this time the CTD left me at least with Debug that the crash was related to the msvcr90.dll. Steam Client was always trying to install .NET Framework 2.0 SP1. The Problem here is that I need to have both version x68 and x64 of .NET Framworks installed as these are needed for different add-om to my Development Tools.
   To refuse Steam of trying to installing the .NET Framework on every game launch adding following registry entry fixed the issue
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Valve\Stea m\Apps\48110\ windowsInstaller_x64 REG_DWORD =1
   but still CTD's
   
   So another dance this time MOD by MOD game launch new career new mission will update if the CTD's were related to ne of the MODS
   
   End Edit
2. Game Syncronisation, even so I turned off the Sync option in the Ubi Launcher save games are syncronised with the Server. I did few fresh installs, deleting the SH5 folder from user/my documents, too. Old save games are appearing in the folder again after the first game load.
3. Windowed mode, the game always loads in full screen mode, even so I set the option to be windowed mode
4. free camera, my campain setting is relism, but external camera turned on. If I try to use the external camera either throught the TDW camera option or the normal in game option buttons I stuck to the boat and I can't use the mouse to rotate the view.

here are my specs:

Hi all
I have a problem with the water drops and streaks on the camera. Can't find a solution or even a description of this problem anywhere so I'll post it here and hope that someone might have an idea.

What I'm encountering is that the above mentioned animation of water drops / streaks on the camera works normally for a while but then suddenly freezes. The result is that drops remain on the screen forever (or won't come up anymore) as long as I remain in realtime (1xTC). If I increase time compression to 2x or more however, the animation will start working again and the drops dis- and reappear normally. Going back to 1xTC halts the animation again and only a restart of SH5 solves the problem. I play with no mods installed except for antilag, newest graphic drivers are installed.

Any ideas what could cause this game procedure to stop after a while? Thanks
