because of the way that Ubi designed SH4, it does not lend itself to alt-tabbing or windowing making it deuce-difficult to detect an error message box.

when you get this result(open screen hangup), try to start the Task Manager and see if there is another window with a message box running.

good luck!

yes, kinda sorta.

unlike previous versions of SH, SH4 does not make a big deal when you receive a Turm upgrade. in fact, under many situations, a Kaleun will not receive the upgrade even if a new one is due. i have had that happen to me many times. it is difficult to understand the conditions under which an upgrade will or won't happen because it is locked up in the SH4 and therefore not open to interpretation....or modification.

there is a hack available if you are interested. you need to be able to use Notepad and copy-paste between ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC files. let me know either here or in a PM

So I understand that I must continue like this until 1945, I have a lot of renown points and I can only spend it on the crew

probably. if the Brits or the Yanks don't get you first. Wait until May 1943.

seriously, even if the Turm upgrade were working, it wouldn't cost you points....it would just happen. but that is an SH3 thing, not SH4.

Love the work,(especially those waves crashing on ships and subs at heavy seas).The campaign is also ruining smooth,without any hickups.I just cant enter the museum,i get a CTD when loading finishes.Not a big problem but im curios is it even still possible to enter it (given how many ships are added)?.I have the LAA patch installed.

Hey Fifi,

something unexpected occurred.
i am driving a 9-D2 out of Penang February 1944. Flotilla 1.
at the end of a very good mission i was offered a new boat.
that should not have happened because there are only two boats available for Penang: the 9C40 and the 9D2.

what's going on?

my apologies for not including more info.

Type 23. Still based in Penang but with options to transfer to either 12Flot in Bordeaux (very tempting. then i can accept a transfer to 12Flot staff. )
or 13Flot up in Trondheim. (no, thank you, very much)

The Type 23 is an interesting choice for an "upgrade" because it's range is a fraction of the range of the 9D2.

So it seems logical upgrade option and new bases
Only bad side is...type 23 is still old looking submarine, i couldn’t import new 3D model because it doesn’t exist with TKSS standards (of what i know)

Hi,

I just started playing Dark Waters. In the attack periscope there is a circular wheel which I assume is for range finding but have no experience with, just wondering if there is a tutorial for it? I also cant seem to find the stadimeter or was it purposely removed?
