Lame CO2 Game Bug

[McHub532]

Okay, I know the "CO2 building up and never purging with fresh air even when on the surface" bug has been around and I've experienced a few times.

Before my problems with not being able to load saved games it wasn't a big deal. I'd save the game, turn it off, reload and it was fine. But now the only time I can load a game is when it auto-saves in port.

So every time this error comes up I have to start back in port again.

Does anyone know a work-around or a fix to this issue?

If I remember correctly, if you will click on the little blue co2 icon that appears in the corner, it will vent.

The bigger question is why can't you load saved games?

In a perfect world yes. But it's a bug. I am surfaced, I click on the CO2 button in the upper right corner..... no go. I die anyway because it will not vent and give me fresh air.

Example.. two missions in a row now I've had to start over because of this bug.

To read about the saved games problem there are many threads on the issue. It's a well known issue with SH4 since it's release and has never been fixed.

don't alt-tab whilst in the game it causes this! save the game and then reload it, the CO2 will return to normal levels

I know about the CO2 bug but several here click the icon to surface instead of just surfacing with the S key.

As far as saved games, I've played SH4 since it came out and have only had one corrupt save. As a matter of fact, I don't know of anyone who cant save at all. You should be able to save whenever you want. Most say not to save submerged or near action or near land. I save in whatever condition and never have any problems at all.

If you can never save a game except autosave, then something is wrong.

Nope.. just tried it.

Away from land, zero speed, zero time compression, no contacts around.... saved.

Reload.... Game save Error

Nothing.

I am completely unable to save a game ever. I've redone some missions 6 times because I can never save and hope to go back before a bad decision and restart.. I have to start from the beginning every time.

Are you running any mods? Not being able to save is a buzz kill for sure. BTW, are you running Vista?

I just did a complete uninstall (all old saved games also deleted).. started a December 7th very beginning career with a stock boring no mod game.... saved out at sea as suggested.

IT WORKED!!

Now I'm going to add 1 mod... try again.. add 1 more mod.. try again.. and see if it was a mod issue or what.

Alright!! Hopefully you can figure out which mod it is or maybe it was just a bad install or something. Hopefully you will be able to use your favorite mods.

Spectacular !

I've loaded in like 18 mods and no problems at all.

I can save...
I push the CO2 button to rise and purge if it comes on instead of the Surface button key (S).

Weee!
