Anyone else had this problem?
That is a leftover from SH4. I believe 178m is where the transition point is and it is extremely annoying. I am not happy to see this back in SHV.

Any ideas why my CO2 keeps climbing even though I've been on the surface for two days? Also my deck crew is missing! How do I assure my men they are in fact not underwater?

Edit: The secret is to just save and reload.

And now we have the CO2 bug from SH4.
This is turning into a real mixed bag isn't it?

OK -- I finally got the game and installed it, tinkered around with the historical missions to get a feel for the GUI and the hot keys.

Start the campaign - go the bridge, sink the first ship (with manual targeting) - turn the TDC off, and proceed to a slow moving convoy of Polish merchant ships - finally get the TDC turned back on, and it won't let me identify the ship types. I figure what the heck -- I can fudge the range with the optical range finder. I click on it -- and the game which had been otherwise running fine...completely exited the second I attempted to figure the range! (Not that I could've figured out the range without the mast height).

A big what the heck to UBISOFT Romania. Guess I should've braved manual targeting in SHIII or SHIV!

The first mission is a UI limited tutorial. Do EVERYTHING it says EXACTLY and it'll slowly reveal the UI and let you do the things you wanted to.

I understand that -- but that doesn't explain why the game crashed w/o so much as giving an error message.

the ships aren't really moving at all in the tut. they sorta just appear and sit there.

just point and shoot and worry about using the TDC after the tutorial is over.

Default Campaign Issue

Hey,

Im having some major issues with the First German Campaign. When I try to complete the "Blockade of Germany" Mission, none of the ships(Merchant or Warship) I sink register on the mission status bar...so it always says sink five ship along on the northern patrol route...but how?? I tried sinking ships below the red line and above and its difficult to sink ships directly on the red line...so what do I do? Also, I cannot find the carrier that I need to sink? Shouldnt it be in the red carrier patrol circle? i have already tried reloading my game twice to no success. Is this a bug or does anyone know what to do?

Couple of bugs after patch.

3 serious bugs:

1. Moral resets on loading game.
2. Sonar does not report warships, just merchants.
3. Using ability "Total Reveal" sonarman reports smoke on horizon and other "visual" reports even when i'm at 60m depth. Makes travelling with timecomp hopeless after a battle.

These might have been mentioned before but there are to many posts to read :P

The 2 first ones are definatly gamebreaking bugs. C'mon Ubi. Don't you test anything before sending out patches?

Yup, happened to me too. I thought I'd use the crappy weather as a screen to sneak into a British harbor. Loaded up the game after a break and the weather had cleared. 4 DDs on top of me!

RAGE!!!!!

Ekhm!

While looking through binoculars I ordered periscope depth (still used to SHIV).

...but THEY DID dive without me:




Maybe were able to plant explosives on ships' hulls - commando way?!

I don't know if this was mentioned before in the thread but both officers you can talk to at the base don't have names, jobs, or ranks displayed. There also appears to be a little menu artifact in the dialog menu, it's a little line or something.

Davlon, I just noticed that myself.

My weird bug of the day was a small coastal German warship that has followed me from Bremen to the British coast! Poor little guy.
