Arg! Crew Down!

[brotebjo]

Ok, I have a major problem that always happens to me late in my career. Sometimes when I am submerged attacking a convoy in the open Atlantic or docked ships in a harbor and when I'm done attacking, move out to safe area and surface my crew will all of a sudden die. Sometimes I'll only lose one crew member (usually in the watch tower), sometimes all of them. Before anybody says that I hit a mine, I've also noticed this problem when I've surfaced for 10 secs or so. Also if I have multiple saves over a 60 sec period this problem will cascade down to some of my earlier saved games. What gives??? Do I have a corrupt file? Also I'm using GWX.

Are you using a Type IX D2?

[brotebjo]

The zon files were never addressed when alterations were made to the conning towers in an earlier version....they are now good to go in the next GWX release

Just on a side note Brotebjo, did you know that when a crew member dies if/when you surface the U-boat (enure no enemy are around ) if you right click on the dead crew member he will disappear . This I suspose represents a sea burial .

Nothing worse then have a decomposing body in the hot sweaty hull of your U-boat

Ya I read that somewhere recently...someone had created a mod that enables burial music when you right click on one of your dead crew members...thanks for your input though!

Can you give me a link to that mod??? I want to make an animation that shows the dead being buried at sea and I need some key information from the mod you speak of.

[brotebjo]

Ah hell...I'll see what I can do, will send you a message if I do or don't find it

Brotebjo - i has the same problem - [dead all crew on the bridge after
surfacing] - that was only one time - after i leave Dover [almost all ships
sunked in port]. My sub was VIIC type...!

[brotebjo]

does anybody have a work around to this bug until GWX 1.4? Otherwise I might have to edit my files and move up the date of the XXI...

Very good idea, it would add a lot to the simfeeling. I red about that burial music some time ago, I'll search for that .....
