View Full Version : How is it that I hear waves and wind while submerged?

And I swear I haven't been drinking! :03:

So there I am, submerged at 40m, trying to listen to the hydrophone and I keep having to fight the urge to yell at the XO to shut the dang screen door already! :haha:

Seriously, though. It is a mite distracting, not to mention the immersion doesn't quite work for me with the sounds of waves crashing against the conning tower following me deep below the surface. :)

Just in case it's self-inflicted by me making a mess of my mod soup, I have the list here (yes, I know, the scope mod shouldn't come at the end, but it doesn't modify anything but the New_UI and I really couldn't get myself to disable all of the rest, put in the scope mod, then enable them again. Last time I did that, the game menus went Spanish on me. I kid you not).

You will hear wind inside the u-boat if you alt+tab out of the game. Next time you load the game the wind sound will be gone.

Hey Misha. I have this problem too on a regular basis. I do not think it has anything to do with mods. I think this is a stock Sh3 issue caused by the time compression going from a high value to "real time" without any steps in between. The only way I know of correcting it is to exit to the menu and reload. Good luck.

I've never Alt+Tabbed out of the game, and I still hear it sometimes. I don't know the answer, but I suspect von schatten is probably correct.

Isn't it the same tc-related problem with the Ölzeug the bridge crew keeps wearing although the sky cleared up?

Yeah he's right about one thing it's stock Sh3 issue

It's not a bug, Ölzeug is also protecting from icy ocean winds :D

The bug is when you load the game (or when rain starts to pour)during storm and the watch crew does

not wear Ölzeug, you have to cloth them up, like your own kids, to save them

from catching cold =]

Thanks, guys!

It's funny, though. This post didn't really belong in this forum since I was experiencing it in SH5 and I put an edit up once I realized my mistake, but I've still got a bunch of answers here as opposed to none from the SH5 one.

Also, you're absolutely right. It's apparently something that carried over through the various new versions. Reloading did take the problem away, thanks! :up:

Being an old Silent Hunter vet, it warms my heart to see that SH3 is still going strong because, let's face it, it's an awesome sim. I don't know how many hours, weeks, month, years I spent fiddling with that one and playing it like crazy, I even bought a new copy because I misplaced my original, and I still love to drag it out and dust it off.

Memories... Glorious memories. :yeah:
