Losing torpedoes in game??

Herr Russ · 07-30-07, 01:41 PM

Having a wierd problem all of a sudden.. During the patrol when I try to bring in external spare torpedoes, the screen will start flashing and sometimes the external slot will completely gray out. That torpedo never shows up, but is still listed in the status message.. Last patrol I returned with 3 external torpedoes that I could not load (solid gray box) and just had it start on this patrol. It didn't happen until I earned the IXD2 with extra eels..

Anyone else see this or know how to fix it??

Thanks!!

I believe it's a standard bug in SHIII.

The problem occurs when you try to line up more than one external torpedo at a time to be moved inside the sub.

The way around it is to start moving one torpedo, wait until that move is completed, & only then click on the next torpedo etc.

Thanks, I'll try that. Never had the problem pop up in the VII, IXB or IXC..

Yep its a standard 1.4b bug with the IXD2 sub. In the config file (I think basic.cfg) under the IXD2 settings, the torpedo loadout is wrong. There is a IXD2 fix posted at the 'u-boatrealsimulation' website (google sh3 mods) if it still doesn't work out for you.
