Okay, something's definitely fishy with the deck watch.

Before they wouldn't go in, now they won't come out! I'm surfaced (and resurfaced a few times, even) and they're all inside and won't budge.
And this is where the CO2 non-recharge also hit me.

I think there is some sort of confusion in the sub's surfaced/submerged state change that gets stuck.

I am getting around this by not saving.:rotfl:

My machine is borderline for 1.4: ASUS A7N8X, Athlon XP 3000+, 7600GT, SB Live! card (ie not using on-board sound). I get in the mid-20s with 1.4 / Trigger Maru / RSRDC. No ROW, because ROW puts the framerates around 15, which is unusable. Mid-20s is usable, I know that comes as a shock to you guys who have frame rates in the 100s.

1.5 puts framerate at 14. This is on the bridge, nice weather, calm seas. It's unusable. I bet it's because of the ROW stuff added.

My frames are great with the addon. Very stead also.

CCIP · 03-04-08, 06:38 PM

Where are you testing the frames also? Open sea or in port?

SH4 is much smoother in 1.5 for me.

Yea, I figured that was pretty much the consensus.

Yea thats what ive notice.

I think in Uboats campaign ive come across that bug where unable to complete objectives. It states patrol for 48 hrs ive patroled for something like 100hrs and still no objective complete - ive sent messages, just get replies telling me to keep to the objectives. But ive only sunk two merchants while patroling this area maybe i need to sink more tonnage then she'll trigger:hmm: If not im heading back to base to start a new mission.

Has anyone else noticed you can't recruit anymore officers on fleet boats? Through process of elimination ive figured out the game is limiting officer numbers to ONE.

Not an issue with 1.4, and occurs in stock 1.5. Is there a variable/file im missing somewhere, or is this a hardcoded limitation?

BTW, ive noticed alot of small sublte improvements under 1.5. Such Radar turns on automatically when surfacing, and the deck gun crew bug seems to be fixed.

snakeyez · 03-04-08, 05:49 PM

Can you level crewmembers up to officer and have more than one?

This sounds kinda whack. Good find.

AVGWarhawk · 03-04-08, 05:55 PM

I'm going to try this out Duci.

Ducimus · 03-04-08, 06:03 PM

Cool thanks. I will not be surpised if this is a "unique" problem on my end though. I got the crew special abilites working for the pacific game. I noticed this when trying to grab one of those cool new officers from the barracks.

CCIP · 03-04-08, 06:07 PM

There is a bugs thread in the U-boat missions sub-forum!

I haven't seen it to 1. On U-boats there is definitely a limit though. Is there a file responsible for this?

Charlie901 · 03-07-08, 09:49 PM

Also,

No periscope wakes on stock game plus 1.5...

Don't know if this was removed from original or never included but it doesn't look right.

Nope. Not in my SH4 data/submarine/.... u-boat folders. Looked very carefully at each file extension and none are *.upc files. They are in the American sub folders but I simply can't find any in the U-boat folders. Is this not supposed to happen?

In submarine folders there should be NSS_Uboat_9d2.upcge and NSS_Uboat_18.upcge and in data folder there should be folder called UPCDataGE.
