Sub crashed at the sea floor when loading a save

Flyingtomtom · 05-22-21, 04:43 AM

Ahoy !

So basically my sub automatically sink in 5 sec and collide the sea floor when back in game after loading a save .

At the time of the save, my sub was surfaced , not attacked, no damage. I tried other saves with the same result : sub collided with the sea bed (not even time to do an emergency blow)

W10, SH3 exe run as admin with W7 compatibility mode
Clean GWXonealex mod.

Many thanks for your help !

This can happen with a submerged save; old bug. But since you say you where surfaced....

GWX 3 manual, page 14 in document, 27 in PDF count:

Quote:

Players will occasionally experience the ―''Crash Dive of Doom,'' a known Silent Hunter III bug
where your game is saved normally, but when you restart the game, your U-boat starts at the bottom
of the ocean and sinks because it is far below crush depth. The workaround is to open the
Campaign.LND, Campaign.SCR, and Campaign.RND files in "Notepad" or "Wordpad", change the
''Windspeed=0.000000'' to ''Windspeed=4'', and then restart the same save game again.
