Attack Periscope.. can't turn it anymore..

Thomen · 06-03-10, 06:20 PM

Since today, I am unable to turn the pericope. I can raise and lower it, but I cant turn it to left or the right. Neither, cursor keys or mouse work anymore with it. Oddly enough, UZO and observation periscope still works properly.

Anyone ever encountered this and know how to fix this?

As for mods, the only thing that I tried ( installed and de-installed) is Fubars IXB splint camo earlier this morning.

Thanks in advance. =)

Are you currently on patrol in a career with SH3Commander when it happened?

Maybe it is a malfunction if you have that enabled via Commander.

That's what I thought at first, too.. So I loaded a a single mission to see if this was the case... It is not..

.. Damn thing doesnt work anymore.

Mhm.. haven't tried it on a different type yet.... gonna do that next, I guess.

This happened to me for a few patrols

I found it had to do with OLC and New interiors clashing with some other mods I added (For me anyway) So I added a fix I found In LRT and it Fixed it as well as bringing zoom back to the scopes

So what other mods are you using?

The periscope is broken on all boats..

As far as mods go..
besides GWX I got:
LifeBoats&Debris_v4
Seabed Repair Mod
Combat Radio Frequency
GWX2 - No RING RING by Melendir
Water_Stream_for_Uboats_V4

As I said, It worked fine yesterday.. hehe
After I installed the Type IXB Splint camo mod, it stopped working. Still not working after I de-installed/disabled it.

I think I would remove all activated mods then just add them back, since you say it was essentially random it should bring you back to normal

Make sure you copy your SH3 folder in My Documents to a safe place then copy it back into My Documents once you've reinstalled.

Good luck if it comes down to a reinstall - they're a major PITA.

Thanks!
But fortunately it kinda fixed itself..

I uninstalled all mods, enabled them one after another last night and that didn't fix it. Did it again today, just to make sure.. and... all is fine again..

Thanks for the help, guys.
