Default DD animation and DC problem

I have just reinstalled and patched and I have two problems with DDs.

First, the drop DC animation is constantly repeating (DCs rolling off the racks) The only mods I use are TM and parts of ROW.

Second, even when DDs pass over me while I'm doing flank speed at 80 ft. They don't drop DCs.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you running any mods?

I just wanted to make sure that was all--and if they are current versions. Thanks though--I wasn't clear .

I'm running TM, ROW, skin mods, and warships retextured. All current.

I had the same problem also. I'm pretty sure it's in ROW as I'm not running TM. I was gonna wait on installing 1.4 (until Leo gets back) but after that, I went ahead and reinstalled and patched. I went back to an earlier version of ROW (there is some disscusion on this in the ROW thread) and I'm waiting to see if this fixes the problem, I'm only half way to Midway right now. I'm gonna play later on tonight so I'll see.

I'm running patch 1.4/TM 1.7.1/Prolonged DC Attack and I just had the same problem. Wasn't a problem before and I've been attacked but this time a Task Force didn't react to my presence at all... I was even firing my deck gun at the destroyers and they ignored me even after I landed a couple hits from 3000 yards. And then I went to leave the scene, got out to about 6000 yards, excelerated time and rammed into the desk top (ctd).

Investigation is Warranted

I am proud to announce, that I have fixed the problem!

I reinstalled again, and ran the game with TM 1.71, and It worked fine. I'm finally getting DCed. I'm going to add the depth charge splash mod and the depth charge mod 0.91. Hopefully it doesn't screw it up again.

I was still running 1.3 when this happened. I didn't get a ctd or anything but it did happen and it was the first time. ( I'm not running TM) :hmm:

That's GREAT to hear !!!

I hope that my problem was an isolated case as your's seems to have been! Let tater know what your results are with the dc mod. And if you're adventerous, check out Prolonged DC Attack and let me know what your experience with it is.

Give em Heck!

The depth charge splash warning works fine. I'm trying with the DC mod now. I'm also going to try out prolonged DC attack when I get a chance (most likely tommorow).

All I can report about the DC mod is that it did not cause this bug again. I haven't really gotten DCed yet so, can't pass any more judgements.
