When I returned to play, the save game came up loaded with gauges at high noon. I did some experimenting. It seems there is something wrong with the mission assignment. This is the second time this has happened to me in the same area on about the same date and time.

First Patrol with a Gar Class sub, out of Pearl on Dec. 9, 1941. Assigned to Sagami Wan, the first time and Sagami Nada (same patrol area BTW, just outside Tokyo Bay. Arrived on station Dec. 24/25 1941. Sunk some targets. Cleared the area, saved the game, comes back up broken.

Yes, I was very careful not to use excess TC. I didn't have any Alt/Tab issues.

Has anyone else been able to successfully complete the Sagami Wan/Sagami Nada Mission without the gauges at high noon issue?

This would suggest then, that it is most likely not the mission then (the "early" mission is different from the later ones encountered), but rather, more likely a ship (or surfaced submarine) that has a configuration issue. This could also be the Tambor (the Gar is a clone of the Tambor Class), which is a scary thought... s7rikeback and myself have been looking at the Narwhal and Tench rather closely - surely it isn't the Tambor causing issues (again)?? Much digging is required here. The "suspect" list is rather long at this point. Mikesn9, what is your mod list, and do you do any "shelling-out to Windows? Are you using DXWnd like Front Runner? Any other configuration items of yours that might influence things? Thanks guys, for the reports. Anyone else with similar issue of 12 O'clock or "dark" gauges, any sub, anywhere, anytime?
