Default Cannot dock Submarine, Anchor icon not popping up.

Hello, I cannot dock the boat at the place you start at, I've tried Kiel too.

(Patrol)

(The blue submarine icon is at the starting area, not Kiel).

I am using the mods:

Wolves of Steel Mega Mod.

Wolves of Steel 16:9 Resolution Patch.

SaintMichaels Interior.

Help, please.

Your base has probably been relocated by BdU. Did you get a radio message advising you to rebase? Look at the nav map and your base will have a small submarine icon next to it.

The submarine icon is next to the starting area base, and I have tried to dock there but the anchor doesn't show up.

When you parked it at the harbor, did you put it in neutral?

What is your current in game date?
Are you sure that you've saved/reloaded your game when you first time entered Bunker in Memel harbor?
In WoS , once you leave Memel you will not able to dock there again. It is not intended. Kiel is your next base, two days after campaign star IIRC...

I had the same problem, in Kiel. I was in the bunker but no anchor icon appeared. I tried twice or three times with no luck, but I was using the Continue Campaign option in main menu. Once I loaded my last manually saved game (about 100km away from Kiel), the anchor showed up just entering the harbor.

Now, I always save manually before exiting... and always load last manually saved game, instead of Continue option

Sorry to hear, That happened to me before. I think your game wants more RAM(Random Access Memory).

For Win 8.1 64 bit standarts
4 GB RAM weak
8 GB RAM ok
16 GB RAM recomended

SHO New Hunter

Hey guys, new to the scene and loving it! Just ran into this myself (literally lol my boat ran into an invisible wall at the dry dock entrance). It's only Sept. 01 but I wasted all my arty shells practicing so I wanted to restock, I still have 6 torpedoes so I guess I'll head back out and get some more tonnage on my record, I sunk 3 merchants already but I did get chased away by 3 warships, so it'll be good stealth practice too Ah, I was in Memel. should be back on track. Thanks!
