Bugs...Thick and Fast. Second Campaign Start

captainprid · 04-28-10, 05:14 PM

Just got a new (old) Pajero so I have been playing with that for a week or so....Anyhoo, tried playing SHV tonight for the first time since I completed the capaign. First of all you can't use your veterans crew for a new start....fair enough, lets stick to realities. The hatch in the tower has also stopped working, it took me five minutes to get through it with constant clicking and yeah I was above 6m.
Second problem, weather is strange to say the least. Constant fog throughout the day, visibility down to 30m, only way to get rid of it is to save and reload.
Nightime....every single night night is very very dark, no moon, the odd star. Look through the UZO and you can see nothing to a range of 250m, I checked this through 3 weeks, so the moon is shot or so it would appear.

On the plus side, it would appear that all 3 variants of the VII are available second time around.

One more things, try watching prison break whilst playing SH, it pretty cool

How do you dock? I've returned to Heligoland with 10% fuel and can't seem to get anybody in the port to notice me.

I sail around near the blue icon anchor and stop close to it. Nothing.

I either get fuel or quit the whole campaign!

Choose "End Patrol" and you will be back in the Pen ready for your next patrol.

the above (or below) only applies if the icon is of a Uboat, a regular Anchor only is for fuel/that other option.

I have not been given the option to dock or refuel. The docking icon does not appear. Hitting escape key just lets me save or exit the game.

Grrr

you cant dock there. It has to be the same spot you launched from. You can refit from there and go back out, but you miss out on promotion points by not ending the patrol.

After reloading the saved mission, I saw that anchor icon and was able to refit. Note you are not allowed to end patrol except at your own base.

Thanks for the responses.

LOL...if this is occuring to everyone (I wouldnt know...shelved my SH5 in the middle of my first patrol) then this is yet ANOTHER SH3 bug that has made it over 3 releases to SH 5.

Eventhough the GWX team fixed this in SH3.
