Problem with silent running

ecfchamps · 04-11-2008, 08:44 AM

I'm having an issue with silent running. I have just started a new career with USS Gudgeon (SS-211, Gar class) and I spotted a Task Force (2 ships) in the Makassar Strait and so I decided to do an end-around and attack. I get into position to attack about 7nm ahead of the task force and submerge to periscope depth. I wait for the ships to get into position and fire all six fish. After I fire, I order a depth of 225 feet and ahead slow, turning away from the ships as my fish go on their merry way. As I take her down I order silent running but nothing happens. In the past when I order silent running the crew will speak in a soft tone and torpedo reloading will stop. But now they speak as normal and I can't stop torpedo reloading. Everytime I order it, they will say "Rig for Silent Running" but nothing happens. If anyone can help me out as to the cause I would be very grateful. Here are the mods I'm running:

REL_SH4-ver15_TriggerMaru_Overhaul
TMO_ServicePack_1_Charlie
TMO_ServicePack_2_Bravo
Install_PE2
Install high quality
Highres_Hud_Dials
Catherine Bell Captain's Picture B&W

The date is 6/13/42.

I thank anyone in advance who can help me.

What are you hitting, the toolbar button or the keyboard shortcut? Keyboard shortcut is Z, if I remember correctly. If neither the button nor the hotkey work, I'd look at the controls.cfg file and make sure the command hasn't become borked somehow.

I've had the same problem. Restarting the game fixes it for me. HTH

Mine seems to mostly get confused when I reload a game where I was in silent running when it saved. When I come back it seems to act like it half is in silent running, and half isn't.

But usually hitting Z a few times gets it into the normal rotation again (everything going on or off)

Ahhh... yes.. THIS.

Old bug from SH3 inheirted into SH4. Its a game issue, not a mod issue. As Khourieat says, just toggle it a couple times to get it back to normal.
