Smoke on the Water

DigitalAura · 08-27-09, 11:43 PM

Whenever I load any SAVED game, there is a tell-tale wisp of smoke directly above my submerged fleet boat!!! Fortunately, the AI doesn't notice it, but it's really annoying. I'm running TMO 1.7. Any thoughts? I have no damaged components (my hull reads 002 damage). Don't recall even being engaged by enemy fire yet. It's only evident when I first load the game from any of my saved games in this career.

But fire in the sky.... lol...

I remember this bug from long ago, there was a thread about it...

I get this sometimes also but mostly if I save just after sinking a ship.
I don't save till I'm 10 or so miles away, don't get it then.
It's just a bug and I don't know if anyone ever fixed it.

Yep, it´s an old one. I get it when I load a game where I recently has sunk something before saving. It goes away after a while though.

That's why they no longer allow smoking aboard submarines...

LOL.

yer all demented, I tell ya!

In this circumstance I could have sworn that one of the lookouts on the DD actually paused to take notice of my smokin' plume! Very unsettling!

Usually the smoke goes away after you save and restart your next game.
