Thank you Les,
I appreciate your sharing these important tips, tips which Vecko includes in the TWoS Documentation, but aren't always followed, as I have seen even YT gamers not following these recommendations.
I do follow these, strictly, in fa ct, the only time I ever go over 48 hours is when a patrol zone requires 72 hours, or some other oddball situation. Please forgive me if incorrect, but I think Vecko says 48 hours, to 72 hours save and restart. I haven't reviewed the doc, so I might be wrong here. Things such as not saving near convoys, or land bases, etc.... I've been playing TWoS nightly for about the past 4 years, like so many, I tossed this game when it came out, and came back with TWoS, and find now that this somewhat dated sim may be IMHO the best SubSim out there right now.
The situation I am referring to tends to only happen at night, dusk, or dawn.
I theorize this may be due to altering the visual ranges to attempt replicating real world conditions during these times, and somehow it occasionally causes this problem, but since I am not a modder, I am not certain of this.
WHen this happens, I have tried everything within my power, including removing every "extra" mod I have other than TWoS, activating battle stations, etc... Nothing seems to help. Thinking this was a bug within my game, i deleted all files, and did a clean install again about a month ago. This still happens occasionally.
Thank you again for sharing advice, and helping out a fellow skipper!
Happy Hunting!
