So after a busy week, i finaly has some time do so some testing.

I did have some time to think tho, and i tried the process of elimination as you suggested.

1st i was able to eliminate all mods, cause last test the problem would occur with no mods installed, just replays enabled.

So i was thinking to myself what else did change between the clean install and installation of the modpack.

And then i realised i made a backup of my preferences.xml and copied that back.

At which point i thought it could be possible my preferences.xml could have gone corrupt.

So i did test this today using the preferences.xml that comes with the clean install and the torpedo aim indicator was back.

Next was to test this with mods installed again, and this also worked without problems.

Afterall i have to say this has been one difficult problem to find, and its odd how preferences.xml has good corrupt.

Atleast im happy its solved, so i finaly can get some rest, and relax playing the game this weekend.

Thanks Aslain for your response and making this great modpack.

Update:

Yesterday i have been unable to test or play due to work and other obligations.

So today I done the update to 0.6.6.0; then reinstalling for a 3rd time cause the game would freeze on loading. As for now things work on a clean install without modpacks.

I ll see if I have some time this weekend to test out enabling/disabling mods 1 by 1.

Update 2:

To enable myself to make a replay I installed the mudpack, and only selected: “enable replays”.

And after this the problem was back. Also to clarify: when I said disappears, I should have said, its gone all the time, from the start, for all ships. I added the replay below.

I played two battles on torpedo ships, and it has never dissapeared on me. So hard to say. When it happens to you? How often? When you watch a replay is that also gone there?

To answer your question: 3

When it happens to you? How often? Consistenly each game with DD, cruisers with torps, and CV's.

Other things i have tested in the meantime:

I have WoWS on my C: drive SSD, and another copy for playtest on my D: HDD.

If re-installed WoWS on C: even to a new folder the bug would happen.

But a clean install on my HDD D: without modpack the bug would not happen.

After that i thought, ok so i move the folder from the D: to C: drive cause that is working, but then the bug was back.

So does WoWs install anything outside its own folder that could have remained on C: ??

When you watch a replay is that also gone there?

I have tested this, thats why its has taken some time to get back to you.

I downloaded a replay, and tried on on both installations. But the problem is still there.

On the C: drive i had a minimum of mods that only affect port, but it was still there.

On the D: drive the clean installation had no problem before, but now with modpack installed the problem was there aswell.

All in all this is a very difficult problem to find and solve, cause i have had mod problems before.

But those where minor, not gamebreaking like this. And in those cases the problems could be solved with a reinstall of the modpack or a clean install of WoWS.

Only other thing i havent dont yet is make a ticket with WG. But last time they havent been that helpful. They ask to make a WGcheck rapport and blame mods. 

So what are my options? What else can i try, or could i have forgotten?

Hello All,

This is the weirdest most game breaking bug i have yet to met, but maybe you can help.

I have already tried safe mode, uninstall the modpack, reinstall the modpack and a clean install of the game.

But as you can see from the screenshot the aim indicator is missing, the green area with grey lead indicator.

Not only that, but the alt indicator has also disappeared from my CV's.

While i could see the funny side of training my torpedo aiming skills, without relying on the lead indicator.

This is not something thats enjoyable for too long, when working on torp hit missions. :-(

Does anyone have any idea whats going on here?

Thanks in advance, DudeWheresMyTiger

I remembered something from a few patches ago, that also broke the modpack.

I did a full uninstall and reinstall, instead of regular clean install, and that fixed it.

And for extra safety turned of the yet another zoom out mod.

Ah they joy of finaly being able to manual drop all kinds of ship into submission :D.

I've had an issue with CVs too.. But mine is going into the map view(with M) which works fine.. but cannot leave the view. Either M or scrolling on the mouse wheel does nothing to return it back to the main over view.. But I have come to find out it is the Yet another zoom out mod that is the issue.. and could be the issue with you.. or not.

Yet another zoom was one of my likely suspects i tried turning off 1st.

in 0.5.6, in World of Warships options, they added this:

Added an option to turn off camera switch by pressing [Shift] while in an aircraft carrier.

 

Check your settings in World of Warships, you may have accidentally touched that bit.

I had it turned off, i like to watch up close sometimes. Turning it on and off had no effect.

Best option so far, is to play CV in safe mode, then restart for other ships.

Hello all,

I really love this modpack, and i use a load of the mods, sadly some are discontinued, like the cap timers etc.

And each new patch i fear/hope nothing new is broken. But sadly with the last patch i suddenly cant get into topdown view with cv no more.

When in press the shift key, the view keeps stuck on either the carrier or plane im viewing.

In safe mode top down view does work. At first the new free cam woudlnt work either, (also uses shift key).

But modpack v.5.7.0.03 atleast resolved that part. ALso tried turning a few likely suspects off.

But i use so many, its hard to find out which one it is. Here is a list of what i use.

If anyone could advice me or help me with this. Also is it just me or...
