Thank you sir! I'll give it a shot. Also, I hope you didn't take my little rant as a criticism of your choices as it was not meant to be. I was just blowing off steam after a particular frustrating few days trying to get to my patrol area...

Hi lurker...

Hmm... I`m confused. Sailing the IX from Wilhelmshaven, them moving to Lorient port I`m patroling, fighting, taking awards and other splendors, now is the 3rd July 1941 and still no available upgrades for my U-37. From begin to this moment in the game time, nothing change. What is wrong in my game? The points of renown are very high.
I`m looking for it forums but I can`t find out nothing about this problem.

Activated mods:

OpsMonsun_V705
OMv_705_to_V720
OMEGU_v300
OMEGU_v300_Patch2
OM_Harder_ESCORT_L1
DBSM_SH4_Speech_Fix

Thanks...

Maybe you should have tried the very first opst of this thread or the readme?

9.Conning Towers / Turms

Unlike SH3, Turmumbau (Conning Towers) cannot be upgraded manually, but are coded to upgrade on certain dates within the *.upcge files. The only U-boats that are programmed for this upgrade are the Type VIIC, Type IXB and Type IXC. This is the schedule for the different subs

Type VIIC

Turmumbau I - 1940-07-30 to 1942-06-15
Turmumbau II - 1942-06-16 to 1943-12-10
Turmumbau III- 1943-12-11 to 1945-05-15

Type IXB

Turmumbau I - 1939-07-30 to 1942-08-18
Turmumbau II - 1942-08-19 to 1945-05-15

Type IXC

Turmumbau I - 1941-01-02 to 1943-02-15
Turmumbau III - 1943-02-16 to 1945-05-15

Remember, Renown is no longer used with this mod. You did read the first post about this mod, right? If so, you might want to read it again. Hope that helps you.

Thanks, right.
"Unlike SHIII"... sounds bad To the point.
U-37 is a IXa. If I started the game on the 1 Sept 1939 on the IXa type it means ONLY this boat is playable till the end of the game and war, and no chance to change (award/bonus or promotion for good duty) on IXb/IXc, am I right?

Ah, you're in a IXa... sorry, I just assumed it was one of the other two and thus referred you to the initial post. I don't know how that will work then. I'm sure Lurker will be along at some point to chime in with the definitive answer. I do doubt that you'll be "stuck" with that boat for the duration but I honestly don't know as I haven't been playing with this mod for very long. I've only started two careers, a VIIb and a XXI and am still in the early stages of both. I know the XXI won't last too long but the VIIb I'm up to late '40 so I should be able to get an upgrade in the not too distant future.

Anyway, I hope you're enjoying this mod as much as I am and I'm willing to bet you'll be upgraded at some point, or at least have the opportunity to transfer to another flotilla/boat.

Fun mod! now one question, is there any compatible HUD mod? like the one in TMO 1.9 with all asorted buttons?

Yeah
That`s right, this is great mod - mods, best ever seen and I played. AI enemies warships and airplanes - good, very realistic. Ones hit the destroyer, not deadly, just hit... she is escaping from battlefield! Cool! Great, fantastic!
I remember planes, shooting to my boat and firing as a torch and still attacking my boat - kamikaze in the brit planes? So weird pilots! Here is everything absolutely different and I love this game
Okay, I`m waiting and I`m trying the OMEGU with pleasure

Thanks anyway...

I change my mind... Unfortunately. I don`t understand one think... When I start the new carrier, difficulty Normal, not Easy as usual... Yeah, yeah, I know... the planes are get crazy. Starting attacking me... I`m shooting, hit the plane... bourne up and... That crazy pilot steel attack, attack and attack... Burning as a torch and attack and attack... I think... should be escape... gone... because is hit and burning.
I don`t know...

lurker, perhaps you can help me with something. I'm having problems with my game. I'm using OM, OMEGU, and Admiral Scheer for OM. I've been playing for a couple days without any problems, but today my game started crashing. It crashes whenever I try to load a saved game. I have saved the game while I was out on my third patrol and now whenever I try to load one of the saves, the game simply CTD.

I have also tried to load a save after coming back from my second patrol, but something very strange is happening in it as well. The save does load, but when I go to subsystems to check on my crew or upgrade the boat, this is what I see:



As you can see the entire crew roster is empty. I have no idea why this happened.

As I said earlier, I was able to play SH4 + OM for two days without any problems whatsoever. The saves were loading fine without any crashing, but today it all went haywire.


Date: January 23, 1941
Location: Gotenhafen
Type of Sub: Admiral Scheer
Flotilla: Group West
Here's also a pic of my JSGME:



I activated all mods according to the recommendations found in their respective threads. They should all be compatible with OM.

Any idea why my game keeps crashing or behaving strangely like in the screen shot?

PS - I tried loading a different save, which right after I came back from the first patrol. I again went to subsystems to check on the crew and it seems to be working fine as the boat is fully manned. However, I still don't understand why the crew disappeared after my second patrol.

The save is corrupted.

Try starting a new campaign. If you still have a problem let me know

That's what I was suspecting too, a corrupted file. Do you have any idea how this may have happened? I want to try to avoid corrupting any future saves as much as possible.

Plus, as I said in my previous post, it seems that the campaign was corrupted either during or after my second patrol, because I can load the save while in port after the first patrol and everything seems to be fine.

PS - I was thinking, could extreme uses of TC be the cause of corrupting saves? Sometimes I do use like 4096 TC to traverse really long distances.

I also remember in SH3 it was advisable not to upgrade anything on your boat/ship before the first patrol because it would cause the game to do strange things sometimes. Could this be the case also with SH4?

A small update:

I'm not sure why this is happening but after restarting my second patrol, everything seemed to work fine. However, I tried to save the game during the patrol and then exited the game. I reloaded it and tried to load the save, I got a CTD. So I try to load the same save again and got another CTD. I try a third time and it actually loads up fine, and I can continue playing. This is really strange

[psykopatsak]

TC doesent affect me, and u regularly speed to 8192x...

Out of curiosity, are you overclocking your CPU or video card? I remember with SH3, and even with 4, that it was very sensitive to this. I was able to play other games just fine with the overclock I had, many of which were flight sims with massive calculations taking place and I thought therefore more stressful on my computer, but these games would regularly CTD at weird times. For SH3, when I used to play it, I had to back off a bit in order to get it stable, with SH4 I just had to up my voltages a little higher and it is now stable.

So if you are, try removing the overclock and see if that fixes it. If so, then you need further tweaking or may have to give up on it altogether. Good luck!

Maybe, maybe...
Did you update drivers for your vid card? Maybe this... I had this problem with my ATI card.
