Thank you to all the experienced U-Boot Kameraden who have taken the time to welcome me and answer my questions.
I am trying to play the game on a Dell Laptop with Windows XP installed because it seems to be the most practical platform to use on my boat (I live afloat) - clearly there are drawbacks with the graphics card but I can probably put up with that - so may I please invite answers to the following questions:
I bought the game on an original 2005 DVD, if I buy and download the game directly from the Ubisoft UK store, will the downloaded version be the latest version without the problematical 'Starforce' security feature?
Playing with GWX installed, and having returned from my 4th patrol where I sank three enemy merchant ships with gunfire, five more and a destroyer escort with torpedoes for over 30,000 tons, my crew are awarded medals galore but my own 'Renown' is significantly reduced from the initial 1500 down to around 600 - why might this be? I did lose one ordinary seaman and had several injured during the fight with the destroyer - the injured crew appear to have fully recovered during the journey home but I left the dead seaman in the aft torpedo room.
Thanks,
GJO
