Have a question about Time Compression...

I just bought SH4 with the U-Boat missions. Guess that's version 1.5 as far as I can tell.

I noticed that going out on Career mode I can easily use time compression up to 2048 or above. However, when coming back from a few missions on my 1st patrol, I can't get above 128k coming back.

It takes just over 2 hours of real time just to get back to Pearl Harbor and that pretty much sucks the life out of the game.

I have downloaded a few of Webster's Mods that have corrected some bugs in the game. I really doubt any of his fixes degrades performance, so what is going on with the eternity of getting back to base?

I notice that when I leave base the file size upon saving is like 375K, when I'm coming back from a patrol it's about 2MB.

I also notice that if I go over 128 Time Compression returning to base it just gets slower and slower as I go up in TC. WTF???

I have played alot of simulator games from flight, train, and boat simulators with no issues of performace. I don't understand why this game has so many issues.

Is there a fix or mod to correct this problem?

Having to wait 2 hours to get back to port really sucks the life out of this game and it quite frankly very fustrating.

I appreciate any help that is available to correct this annoying problem.

Also, I'm not sure why there are so many people on this site correcting major problems with this game free of charge that Ubisoft should have fixed before they ever released the game. It's crazy that they are now on their 4th edition with substandard programming and rely on dedicated players to fix all of their problems free of charge on the backs of dedicated players like yourselves. I don't know how many hours you guys spend every year to fix this game, but it is a shame they don't compensate you for your time to fix their problems.

Congrats to you guys, but it'd be nice to find out if there is a fix for the crazy time it takes to get back to base.

Thanks guys!!!!
