I've installed the mod in its own folder and run it from there as per wolfpack345's video. I've also ran the hsie patcher. The only other mod I'm running is the GWX special effects mod.

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

No need to run the h.sie patcher. GWX KC already has that.

With the GWX KC oxygen usage settings - and assuming you have maximum oxygen level in your boat, your crew are not repairing or reloading torpedoes (which increases O2 consumption) or you're not in silent running mode (which decreases O2 consumption) - you should get the following interval oxygen usage reports whilst the boat remains submerged:

After 50 mins: "Oxygen: 20 Percent"
After a further 1 hr 40 mins: "CE: Oxygen: 19 Percent"
After a further 1 hr 40 mins: "CE: Oxygen: 18 Percent"
After a further 1 hr 30 mins: "CE: Oxygen: 17 Percent"

^ At that point (5 hrs 40 mins after submerging), the oxygen level inside the boat's pressure hull will have dropped to a dangerously low level. If you surface, all of that oxygen will be replenished.

If you remain submerged, you'd then get the following report:

After a further 10 mins: "CE: Oxygen too low: Using oxygen supply"

^ From this point onwards, your crew are using non-renewable oxygen from the pressurised O2 storage flasks in the boat. When that runs out (a full supply lasts a long time), your crew will die.

If you surface before it runs out, the renewable oxygen inside the boat will be replenished as normal, but any non-renewable oxygen in the flasks that you used up will not be replenished.
