Torpedo Loading Problem

[robj250]

I thought I'd give GWX a rest and play SH3 (which by the way worked fine prior to my using GWX).

I have three torpedoes that have "waiting in queue for loading" and I have travelled several km and they will did not load.

The bar about the bow tube is full green and I cannot figure out why the torpedoes will not load. Oh, one of them is the forward external as well.

are you in silent running ?
if you are
turn silent running off and the torpedos will reload

[Abd_von_Mumit]

And remember to surface for reloading external torpedoes, too. :up:

Rob you're either running in silent mode or you don't have enough (fresh) crew in the torpedo compartment. To load the torpedoes you must:

1. Have the autoload icon clicked in the Weps screen.
2. Disable Silent Running
3. Have enough crew in the compatment (see the bar on top of the compartments in the Crew screen. If it's fully green you're Ok)

To load external torpedoes you must
1. Be on the surface
2. Disable Silent Running
3. Have enough crew in the compartment
4. Drag the external torpedo and drop it in the internal reloads

I'm on the surface and not in silent running mode and the bar is full green and I dragged the torpedo.

Hmmm. but I will have to check to see if the auto loading is checked.

Thanks

If you drag them manually there's no need to switch auto loading on. It should work after dragging the torpedo.

[melnibonian]

Hmmmm really strange:hmm: I would suggest you save the game, exit and re-load it. See if it works then

[robj250]

Well I just checked and auto-loading box is checked. I am waiting for tubes 1 and 2 to load and the external to load.

Everything is as it's supposed to be, but I cannot figure out why they are all in queue?

Could you a screenshot of your crew management room and your weapons (torpedo) management screen?

I tried that three times.

[melnibonian]

How much time (game time) passed from the moment you order the torpedoes to be loaded? Also try ot leave your mouse pointer on the torpedo that is being loaded. There should be a number there. Another reason is possible damage to the torpedo tubes. Are they damaged?

I don't think so, because I fire tube 2 while waiting for tube 1 to load and the external to load. :hmm:

Yes, I can take a snap of the screen and put up the link to them.

[robj250]

It has been 8 hours since I fired tube 1 :hmm: and it's still in queue :down: and that's when I asked to load the external.

[danlisa]

Ok, try this. Go into Silent Running (Z) & then come out.

There is a save/reload bug where you save while in Silent Running but when you reload the game does not show you that you are still in silent running mode.

[Abd_von_Mumit]

The only thing I could think of is that everyone of the crew in the bow torpedo room is overexhausted with the fatigue level at lowest point. Could you check that. Try to put an officer there, maybe that helps...

Isn't the torpedo in tube 2 loaded too?

If it's not that, the only thing left is a bug, I think. Nasty one.

[Undeadsailor]

Try letting your bow torpedoes to fully load before you load the external torpedo in to the reserves slots.

Sir,
I am a member of www.wolvesdensite.com (http://www.wolvesdensite.com) and we have found that once you surface, press the "I" key and began the transfer process and then complete it, get out of the "I" screen and NEVER return to it or check on the reload process. If you do, the reload is halted for some reason. It's some kind of gsme glitch. OH, One more very important thing...make sure your Weapons Officer is in the torpedo room, this will help speed the reload. The guys in our DEN taught me this and it works. Check us out!

Well, I tried everything suggested and nothing worked, so I figured there was something wrong with the mission. I did notice that when I left Nazaire it was a certain time then when I reloaded the game it was a different time. So I returned to base to start another mission to see if the same thing happens.

[robj250]

Started a new mission and everything worked fine. The torpedoes loading in the tubes and the externals loading into the reserve spots.

Have no idea why they didn't work in the last mission. I believe it may have had something to do with the time change on the page clock when I reloaded the game after leaving port.
