Known bugs quote from community manual
 

Quoting the "Known Bug" section of the community manual.....

"When returning from a mission in campaign mode, if you get too close to the starting point of a mission (dock)... you will not recieve any credit for anything you accomplished and you will not be awarded any points. "

At the conclusion of my last patrol, I took the boat all the way into the bunker upon my return to the base. I didn't notice if I lost the renown points I should have gained, but in doing the math, it seems maybe I did?

Does this bug still exist? Should I be teleporting back to the base?

Yes i believe that i read in the GWX 2.0 readme that this problem is hardcoded and cannot be fixed sorry

edit- as far as teleporting, I myself close to about 100k and then end my patrol

Strange. I've never had a problem getting credit for anything anywhere under any circumstance... including returning all the way to the bunker.:hmm:

Using GWX here naturally.

In my last patrol (which was also the first of current career) I too returned right into the Kiel dock I started from. (felt just like the Das Boot scene) And I didn't receive any renown for the ships I sunk, a small freighter and V/W class near Hartlepool. Only renown for reaching and completing patrol grid. I am not sure what caused it. As I didn't change anything on my Uboot before 1st patrol other than add extra crew (does that also qualify as 'upgrading' before 1st patrol?). But i also had SH3 crash on me mid-patrol, so had to restart from a savegame. Maybe that screwed stuff up.

It's advisable to not make any upgrades/change torp loadout or add crew members before your first patrol.

If you want to upgrade/add crew etc before your first patrol, you must assume you will have no renown awarded. I suggest that you use this patrol as a shakedown cruise and just leave the port and conduct tests, then retrun to port.

Thanks, that settles it then. Only shakedowns on first patrol.
