GWX 2.1 Torpedoes Won't Reload

[bsalyers]

Hi, folks;
I'm baffled. Running GWX 2.1 and I have two forward tubes that show "torpedo waiting in queue for loading", but reloading isn't happening and there is no time estimate. I have auto-reload selected, plenty of crew in the compartment, they're not exhausted, I show a spare available for each tube, we're not running silent. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The possible explanations could only be:

1) Insufficient Crew
2) Auto-reload turned off
3) Set for Silent Running

But since you've knocked all those off the list I'm stumped...



Can you turn OFF auto-reload and attempt to manually reload them?

Stumps me, too. Try saving game, then close, check what your setting are and reload game.

Check the freen bar at the top of the compartment screen....your crew could be exhausted.

My game doesn't have a freen bar...is that a new mod?:rotfl:

Now that that's out of the way, how far over is the bar? Just because they're not showing exclamation marks doesn't mean they're not tired. How long have they been at their stations?

There's a status bar above each compartment where work can be done. Those bars represent the work state of the crew in each compartment. If the crew is too tired or you have too few crew in there, they won't load anything. Nothing will also be loaded if you set the sub to silent running. Also, make sure that Auto-Loading is unchecked on the "Weapons Management" screen. I will suspect you have one of these problems. I play SHIII with GWX 2.1 all the time and have had no problems with torpedo loading ever.

Hmm one of the mods (I assumed it was GWX 2.1) dispensed with the green bars, but you're saying that you can still see it in 2.1?

I just stumbled over the same prob - last night i prepared an attack on a british torpedoboat, saved the game and went to bed - loaded the saved game 10 min ago, sink the target at periscopedepth, goto surface and check the weaponsscreen, no reloading in progress, just preperationpopupmsg by hovering with pointer over it - goto periscopedepth again - hit silentrunning - supend silentrunning - voila, :p loading in progress

seems the saving with an open tube cause it but thats a wild guess
