Uhm, I usually am at the sonar station when I play multistation but I can hear the whales or other contacts in broadband.
I can hear them only in the spherical array but not in ta. We have some other multiplayer issues too:
- if i classify a contact on the navmap, the other players on my platform get the wrong contact classified (in a toally different bearing)
- Sometimes a contact does not show in deamon (there is no tracker review available for it)
- Sonar Station Users get repeatet anouncements for the same contact (the nav map fills with virtually thousands of S01 contacts). The other users on the platform do not get this strange behaviour.
As for the DEMON, fo you know that only contacts marked in broadband can be monitored by DEMON ?

Do you use the latest patch? - 1.04
Because the issue with the huge bunch of sonar contacts should have been fixed by now.
Yep, we are using a 1.04 vanilla version. And we are aware that we can only get Deamon readout for BB contacts.
We made some additional tests today with newly installed DW 1.04 versions. If i host a non multi station game, everyone gets sound in BB display. If I host a multi station game and everyone picks a different plattform we get sounds too.
But if we occupie a platform with more than 1 player, sound from TA on BB is missing. The sound is always available in BB spherical array or hull array.
May anybody be so kind to confirm this with a little test??? Would be much appreciated.
thx in advance

Ok I'm back from having played a multiplayer-multistation game over 2 1/2 hours long.
I was at the sonar station, and on the same sub another guy was at the tma station the game was played with stock version 1.04 and I can assure you that in broadband, the contacts on the towed array were noisy.
You could here them all (of course if within range).
Forgot to say that I was hosting the game.
Thx alot. We've tried server test games today with various seupts, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas???

Are you using an integrated sound card on the motherboard ?
Nope, an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum pro. But the other player joining the game can't hear the sound too. Maybe we can meet for a testgame? ICQ: 245548228
We think we figured it out. As you were playing your multistation game, did you have control over the ship control station too?
If i assign the ship control station to the player which has the sonar station assigned to him, all works perfect. As soon as another player controls the Ship control, the TA on BB ist dead.
Would be very nice of you, if you can give this a try goldorak
cheers

Yes I had ship control as well.
So this seems to do the trick. Is this behaviour intended? I didn't find anything about it in the manual nor in other online sources.

To be honest, I don't think it is an intended behaviour.
You may have found a bug.
You can send an email at SCS about this bug, hopeing that in the next update they will fix it.
