Sonar destroyed Bug ??

[Heinz Von Hennig]

I recently started a career with a type IXD/2 the problem being is I get a Sonar destroyed before I have even left port??? :down: I had this one time before but cant for the life of me remember what I did to fix it,,,

Someone told me it was a Bug with the Type IXD/2 boats??

Thanks lots lads,,and lassies,,,

[jasonsagert]

What mods are you using?

[Heinz Von Hennig]

I am running GWX and a couple eye candy mods, I am using Fubars crew skins,the longer wakes mod and the D/C Shake mod,,I dont get this with anyother boats just the TYPE IXD/2,,As I had said before,I had this in a Wolves at War career and there was a fix,,,But that was last year early,,Now Ive deided to run a IXD again and same bug appers???

Oh I am also using the DEC Corrections for GWX,,,

[jasonsagert]

Hmm... I don't know. I've used the IXD2 a lot in GWX and have never had the problem. Though I use SH3 commander as well.

If you're starting with an IXD2, I'd imagine that you're using SH3 commander also?

Hopefully some one else will be along soon with some ideas.

You crashed into the port. (Happened to me MANY times.)

[melnibonian]

Are you using the default GWX fatigue system or the 24hours fatigue through SH3Cmd. The fatigue system was partially responsible for the same problems with XXI. I would suggest you try the no fatigue (or any other fatigue settings except the 24hours one) and install the XXI Hydrophone fix

[Heinz Von Hennig]

I was unaware there was such a fix,Yes I use SHIII Commander 2.7 and relistic fatige ,,,Like I had said before some told me of some changes you make in the Submarine cfg file,,that fixxed it last time,,But I cant remember what it was,,I have built this new machine and done a fresh install,,,

I had also this problem, but with Silent Hunter 3 1.4 clean.

I could beleive that,,But I just have begun to get the map route sorted and havent started diesels yet !!:o

[Heinz Von Hennig]

I installed the hydrophone fix via jsmge no help ??? Should I have manually installed this ?
If so where does it go ?

[melnibonian]

If you install it via JSGME it should be fine. If you still have the same problem I would suggest you post a screenshot so that we can identify the problem.

[Heinz Von Hennig]

What happens is this,After loading to start my patrol,before I can move the boat ;
When the game loads you to the command center i get the message Sonar Destroyed ??? I havent even lit off the dammed diesels yet so it is standing still!! As I mentioned before I saw this someplace before but cant remember what was done to remidie the problem,,,

[melnibonian]

Usually this kind of behaviour is a stock bug. So here are some suggetions:
1. Did you install the Dec-23 Update? If not please do so as it does help.
2. Check this threads http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=104338&highlight=Sonar+destroyed

Look the important thing is not to get desperate. Have a look through these threads I've sent you and see what they suggest. There is also the chance that there is no fix for the bug and you have to live with it, but in most cases someone comes up with a solution in the end. Also the Dec Update must be the first mod you enable in GWX. Everything else can be enabled after it.

[Heinz Von Hennig]

ahhh ha,,I see now,,So what ill do is disable all others and enbale the dec fix mod first then see where we go !! Thanks for that bit of info !! On my way lol,,,:up:

[Heinz Von Hennig]

I'm affraid is a stock bug but I haven't seen it in IXD2, only in XXI.

[Heinz Von Hennig]

Yes I had that bug with my other persona at wolves at war and did that fix,,But had forgotten about the Sonar bug with the type IXD,,, macht nicht,,, veilen dank,,

[Jimbuna]

Your problem is highly likely to be down to your installation because myself and others have used the fix and found it works. :yep:
The next update of GWX will have a 'built in' fix IIRC :arrgh!:

[GSpector]

Hello All,

I am surprised no one mentioned it but is there a chance it could be sabotage?

After all, he is using SH3 Commander and it is a option.

[Heinz Von Hennig]

No actually there are 2 others at Wolves at War that are having the same problem,,,There was a numerical value change that remedied this problem before I just cant remember what it was nor wheer to look,,,
