Default Torps suddely won't fire?

Hi all, new to this board.

Been playing the game fine for a while now, all patched to 1.2. It would seem that my torpedoes won't fire all of a sudden! Any ideas?

I get this myself from time to time. Sometimes restarting the game will help, sometimes it won't. I have no idea what is causing it. I also have one where I tell the boat to dive and it just cuts speed to 0 and sits about on the surface watching that task force heading my way

I am installed, directly patched to 1.2 and have the latest FTT installed with the mod enabler.

Going to try re-installing > 1.1 > 1.2 and see if these things clear up

You might want to check your crew. If you set battle stations and forget to turn it off, they crew gets so exhausted eventually they just stop doing their jobs and pass out.

Cruising along then stopping for no reason is a good indication you have done this.

For the torp issue there is a small possibility of that, but I am fairly sure it has happened to me without having had crew at quarters before, but I can't be positive.

On my issue of the boat just stopping when given any dive command, that is certainly a bug of some kind. It has happened immediately upon starting a patrol.

Thank you for your imput.

Fixed it. Re-installed 1.2 patch. Restarting or even rebooting did not fix it for me...

I had it one time where the boat would not steer anymore. I could only go straight ahaid/back. No obvious reason. Loaded a previous save, went to the exact same spot, and steering was no problem.
Don't know why it happened.

Cheers

That is caused by copy protection.
it happens when you dont use the real disk or a working crack.
