CAN NOT COMPLY AFTER 5-14-1945

[merc4ulfate]

I managed to get to 5-14-1945. :salute: I get a nice refit at Fremantle with a new paint scheme and a few upgrades. The only issue is after this refit the boat won't move. No matter where I start, in port or out, all I get is ..."can not comply" when I try to start the engines. Nothing is wrong with the crew, no fatigue. Tried battle stations and without, under water and surface but nothing.

I can go out replay a previous save, head back to Fremantle but no matter what I do after the upgraded refit all I get is ... "can not comply". Even if I save the good save once I hit the refit it is bonkers and the refitted upgrade is not something I can skip it is automatic.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so was it rectified? I would love to get to the end of the war ... but I can never get past this date.

I have the stock game plus Trigger 2.0

Thanks

One thing you can try, is ending the patrol, and starting at the of May, or beginning of June. The war should end around the middle of August. See if that helps.

I did have something similar 3 or so years ago, but don't remember how I corrected it.

Oh! One last thing, have you tried plotting a course to get started? That can sometimes get it rollin' for ya. Just try it out of port.

Once I have everything loaded in base it begins my next mission the first week of June so the date didn't help. I even tried turning right around and re-docking but still no go on the engines. I did not try plotting a course so I will give it a go and see what happens.

PS tried to plot a course but no go ...

Have you checked your crew because if they are all in bead or no ones in the engine room then that's your problem.

[merc4ulfate]

crew fatigue is 0 and in standdown or battle stations there is still "can not comply"

Then your crews doing mutiny if you want to stop it there's some 50. cals in the conning tower near the hatch.

U-boats work, single missions work, everything but this career. The career works fine as long as it is from before May14th and the final refit from that point on nada. It is only the engines that are affected. All other systems work normally.

Even disabling the TMO did nothing ... all engines after the refit are toast and will not work

[merc4ulfate]

I am begging for help here ... The crew has 0 fatigue, morale is normal, leaving home port after the last refit and engine will not fire. All other systems normal. Cant reverse, cant forward on surface or underwater. doesnt make a difference outside of port or in. Tried reverse then forward but no go.

Patrol ends in may and starts in june. I cant load a previous save and engine work fine, cruise to home port get refitted and zap engine wont work anymore.

Is this a bug?? Has anyone at all got a clue why this is happening only after the last refit of the war??

:damn:

I know I had something like this happen a long time ago, and can't remember the remedy.

Okay, after the refit, have you tried just for the heck of it, to transfer to a different base of operations?

I know it happened to me once before, but that was in the old TMO 1.5.2 days, back in like 08, so trying to recollect something from alomost 4 years ago, is rough.

Just try it, for the heck of it. Sometimes changing your home port will cover the glitch.

Magic452 and Hylander_1314 figured this out for me. :salute:

"You are probability getting a piece of equipment that should not be available at that time and it's causing a problem. Have no idea how to resolve this problem thou. You might play a good save and just use a lot of TC and dock at a later date. Just shooting in the dark here.

I loaded a previous save just prior to the last refit/upgrade. I sailed to Antarctica for a week of exploring and once May was over then went to home port, Fremantle. This time instead of giving me a complete upgrade and new boat it ASKED me if I wanted one. Either way of choosing everything works fine. The one piece of equipment I did notice it would not give me this time was the passive radar detector. This along with the not asking me if I wanted the upgrade must have been the issue. I do not understand the glitch but going back to home port a wee bit later in the month did the trick.

Thank you Magic452 and hylander_1314 for this suggestion and everyone who pitched in with suggestion ... all your help is much appreciated.
