Question about hydro station (again!)

[Fifi]

Hi all,

From long time, i don't have anymore "unknown" "merchant" "warship" appearing in hydro station book.
Just a little point (.) instead
This little point is desapearing when on contact, and appearing when nothing.
But no words anymore (don't even remember if i ever had them!)
I'm using REM mod, but without it's the same.

Is it normal, or something has been messed up?
If so, what could i do to get words back?

Thanks in advance!

PS: oh, and game is of course patched with broken hydrophone fix, by TDW!
