Crash to desktop when selecting auto surface cruise

Canovaro · 03-22-07, 04:49 AM

This happened to me three times now in one week:

I sink a ship and give order to surface, at the same time I plot a new course. Then I go to crew management (F7). I wait foor de sub to surface (the conning tower and diesel room is manned and) then press the the button for automatic-crew-surface-cruise-mode.
The screen turns black and Windows reports that Sh3 has crashed.

Is anybody familiair with this? Can anything be done about it?

The 'Auto Surface,Submerge,Attack' orders in the crew management screen have been buggy since release. These have never been fixed, in fact I don't think they can be.

We have all got used to not using them as they will, 90% of the time cause you to CTD.

Do it the hard way, surface the boat and then move your crew manually.

There are shortcuts for moving your crew around. IIRC, left click on a compartment/station then right click on the rest quarters or crew member and they/he will be moved instantly. (I think it's that way round

) But there's always the drag & drop method.

Stock problem, solution: don't use the crew management keys.

Basically I only use the repair button. That works ok. The others are hit or miss when it comes to working or CTD
