Missing Polish Task Force, no CO2 increase and why is it so difficult to set heading

[Frank Ravelli]

Well, finally did my first kill in SH5, a polish destroyer in the Danzig Bay area. However, in the hours spent in this first mission, several questions have arised:
1st, why my CO2 level doesn´t increase anymore when submerged?
2nd, what do i need to do to set a heading wthout having to click several times on my compass till I get the desired one.
3rd, where the heck did the polish task force go? Someone aboard said that it had been sighted, but I could never see it, or my hydrophone operator could hear it. This bothers me as destroying it was part of my mission.

i´m using most of the mods in sobers list. Of course I use TDW newUi´s mod. There are suppossedly some hotkeys to set heading exactly, but I can´t find whic those are.

The game feels awesome for the moment being, Thank you all

1st unenable the CO2 patch in the exe patcher .
2nd Do you mean the round compass ?

Sober, what's wrong with the CO2 fix patch?
As for me, it's working just fine.. just one rule, don't minimize the game during the mission, you can do it in the main menu only..

My CO2 has always worked from day 1 . If i apply the CO2 patch then the CO2 level never increases while submerged .

Hi sober, thank you for your answer. Actually, the round compass and the heading barline work fine, but it is very annoying trying to set a precise heading in them. Imagine that you want to set 187º as your heading. How many clicks do you need to get 187 (not 185, or 188, or any other)
I think I will edit the ****useroptions.py file in the newuis mod, so the heading bar moves one by one when scrolling the mouse wheel, instead of five by five.

@volodya61, I read time ago that alt-tabing the game could cause the not increasing CO2 bug, but that was for SH4. May be it´s a bug that has lived to be in SH5 too. I´ll try disabling the CO2 patch anyway, to see what happens.

Thank you guys!

I don't know why Sober has never seen this bug - CO2 level continues to increase after surfacing.. that's why was made CO2 bug fix.. for me it works fine and CO2 level increases while submerged.. it's reset and stops increasing only when minimize the game.. at least for me in my game..

So, if I have minimized my game and the bug has been triggered, is there anyway to fix it without having to restart the mission?

There's no need to restart the mission. Save the game, exit, then reload. The CO2 problem should go away. Works for me, hope it will for you.

Only save /load as BigWalleye already mentioned
