RE: Dive Plane Men

ok seems like they are appearing.

Whenever I go to periscope depth or dive etc.. they appear. But its not instant. It can sometimes be 15-20m before they appear. Just a timing issue I think.

It's my understanding the the planesmen's surface station was as bridge watch. They're on the bridge when surfaced, at the planes when submerged.

Can anyone confirm whether morale no longer goes to 0 on game reload? (can't tell from the readme)

First off I have to say I am a bit confused with the version number, and people saying it is auto-updating. Mine did not update on it's own. I had to run Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe to update my game. If I had not seen threads here I would not have known through the software alone that there was an update... very odd others auto-updated... I don't see anywhere that I have turned the feature off.

As for version numbers, mine was v1.0.5 as shown on the main screen. The patcher said it was downloading and installing v1.0.1 (which of course looks like a step back). When running the game the main screen now shows v1.1.5 :06: Very confusing.

As I said above, I had to make it patch, obviously others didn't. With mine, after the file was downloaded it asked me if I wanted to execute it right away. Obviously I am not sure if it asked the people who auto-updated.

They were all fine.
:salute:

yes, they are not there when surfaced. They do not appear right away when you dive, but will appear eventually.

maybe they have to take a bathroom break and go to the Head before they switch station. Since there is only one, there must be a long line up..:salute:

What is this? Do you have to purchase missions? With what? Renown?

Is your hydrophone working after the patch? Does it show info/ bearing?

A very long list of fixes, :hmmm: as usual they shipped a unfinished game.

I hope they fix all important issues before the last patch

:rotfl2:

Captain: "Why are we plunging out of control?"

Chief: "Sorry, Herr Kaleun, but the planesmen are all in the line for the head."

And they wonder why they lost so many u-boats...:dead:

Ya'll got 3 more patch's before ubi drops the game like a red headed step child. Just sayin'. :O:

...where the Nazi war correspondent is taking an eternity to shave himself.

I was wondering this, too.

I do not think all those fixes listed made it in, they were not all listed over at the official site nor on patching the client, unfortunately I have no patch readme available to check. I still cannot use the obs/atk scope under certain circumstances, and to answer an earlier question, morale is still being zeroed on loading a save game. Also, I have no idea if this is related to the patch or not, but, in two separate save files now, my hull has taken 23% damage on loading, if I didn't have the habit of keeping incremental saves I would have been pissed.

All these save game woes with the DRM cutting you due to even short network glitches, so you have to save/load to continue.. Oh boy :nope:

Well before the patch there was a bug when you loaded in port... As you loaded into the game in the U-Boat bunker, your sub was on the bottom but would pop up after a few seconds.

It seems they fixed it... now it just stays down :doh:

Doesn't hurt playability.. just immersion killing is all.

Ran into a problem post-patch.

Found a merchant, sunk him.. open the captains log and the game freezes (before the log even comes up). Figured it was just bad luck. Thankfully i saved it prior to the engagement.

Reloaded it, sank him, opened the log to see what the tonnage was and game froze. Not bad luck afterall.

Reloaded it again. Opened the log everything working fine. SInk the ship, open log and it freezes.

When i say freeze, the audio seems fine.. but the graphics are frozen and unrespsonsive. Have to CTRL+ALT+DEL and kill the process. Is it just my save thats porking it? I dunno. It was a new mission in my current campaign starting at port after installing the patch. Will probably load up one of the scenarios and see if it's not my save, but it's getting late so no time now.


[EDIT] Apparently it was my save file. I started a new career with the patch, and im not having that problem anymore (yet).
