i havent read up all posts, so i dont know if this was already adressed. if so, sorry for double posting it
i had some sort of bug with the stadimeter again. when i clicked on it to estimate the range to my target, i went down to like 0,5fps. when i "alt+crtl+del"Žed to the desktop to check if any updates started auto running, nothing was there. then i checked the task manager and found out, that my cpu usage was 100%. 1% for sh4 and 99% for "standby process" (dont know whats it called in english windows). i managed to save the game after i had to manouver the mouse for like 15mins. when i rebooted and restarted everything was fine. never happened again since then
edit: also... i was able to dive with my gato down to 165m without any harm. i dont know if this is realistic since i dont know what the us subs where capable of doing and what not. but since the test depth is like 90m or something, i think 165m is a bit too much, isnt it? dont know if it was a bug, or the changed sub hull- thingie that came with the patch
