Sh4 uses the same weather settings that sh3 in the campaign files, and i remember that it was a problem with stock version, too many raining or sunny days.

In sh4 the campaing file is splitted in several files, and every file have values about weather , i think that all have the same settings.

Fog=0
FogRand=0
Clouds=0
CloudsRand=0
Precip=0
PrecipRand=0
WindHeading=0
WindSpeed=5.000000
WindRand=0
WeatherRndInterval=5
SeaType=0



A good test could be change the values by others in ALL files and see if it works. in sh3 forum there are a lot of discussions about weather values.

I think your right. :know:

WernerSobe - are you using a modified executable or trying to play the game without the original disc in your drive? From what I have read, constant rainy weather seems to be associated with the game's copy protection being triggered.

Notice any big-eyed sailors? 2-d sailors? Sailors randomly counting numbers? These are also part of the protection system.

Use the original disc and executable and this should go away.

[WernerSobe]

mh no i have the original disc and its in. i have nothing triggered off.

Maybe its just because the weather is basicly randomised. A random number triggers a weather change or not. And when youre realy unlucky it is thereticaly possible that the weather wont ever change.

[flyingdane]

To Wernersobe, And every one else sorry for my immature outburst above. :oops:

I remember in SH3 when you saved the game, the weather would reset.
What I mean by this is over time (like 6-18 hrs.), the weather will change.
The time is reset back to 0 after a save so that the time has to keep
advancing over & over. 0-12,save,starts at 0 again instead of continuing
on from 12. This has the effect of never changing weather if you save the
game rather often. I could do a 6 week patrol and never see any weather
but sunny skies and calm seas....(saved the game every 12 hrs)

Quite honestly this is the first post someone has said the weather has not changed in weeks. Very odd indeed. I have had maybe 3 days of rain. The weather model is much improved from SH3. Sorry I do not have an answer for you;)

Warhawk, I had mentioned that in an earlier discussion we were having.

I can confirm that at least on my first patrol after installing the 1.2 patch, I noticed this problem.

In my case, I left Pearl on 10th December 1941, I 'parked' outside Hokaido (as there was such rain and fog that I was literally passing unnoticed in side a convoy - no joy though on a solution even on automatic, it was impossible to manually even lock a ship) and waited until January 3rd, when things calmed down slightly.

However, I had to quit there (I have to catch a flight in 2 hrs :)) and I did not try hunting, nor have I any idea whether the problem persists.

Oh, and one more thing: Parking on 'All Stop' (with game realism set at limited fuel) meant that after nearly 3 weeks of waiting my fuel reserves were down to 37%, hardly enough to begin hunting AND return to Midway to refuel.

I do not yet report it as a 'bug' since I feel there is too much suspicion going on with Patch 1.2 that even the slightest thing now is a bug.

I wonder if others have similar experience when starting new patrol, Dec. 1941 after installing patch 1.2 .

No such problem was noted in v. 1.1

[AVGWarhawk]

I think the fuel issue is a bug. Simply sitting and your fuel runs out is a problem. Unless another sub is sneaking in under the cover of darkness and syphoning your fuel.;)

The weather issue, this is the first time I have seen a post on it. I did not see yours. I really do not know what to say because I have not run into this problem. Currently I'm on patrol 2 with patch 1.2. I had rain for three days and it cleared up. My games weather is certainly not like SH3 weather.

Lets see if this thread has some more posters with the same issue. Possibly a mod tweek that all have in common or it is just the game although my weather seems fine.

Yes i think thats the problem. I remember to have saved the mission after about 4 weeks of rain and then saved it again after about 3 weeks.

So never save the game when its raining :-)

[ReallyDedPoet]

Have not had this happen yet, weather seems to change fairly consistently:yep:
