Anyone else noticed bugs in load game?

Echo76 · 03-06-10, 10:24 PM

So, I was crossing the channel in stormy conditions, visibility was terrible and I sailed amongst 4 DD goup safely cause I was beyond detection range.
Then I decided to save the game and quit. Later I loaded the game and the storm was gone so ofcourse the DDs shot me to hell and back as the visibility was excellent x_x

Later I noticed similar behaviour when I was practicing manual firing against
a lone freighter and that meant a lots of loads :p. The weather kept changing in regular basis varying from storm/rain to calm, occasionally even the previously sunken other freighter came back to life... Pretty weird huh?

Yeah if the weather sucks and I save,if I load back up weather is clear,so weird.

Gone from one extreme to the other. SH3 it would rain for months. SH5, the weather changes better than the real weather!

So I have a question, do we resume campaign, or load saved.

It's most probably that they aren't saving all the info of a game in savegame, they leave out certain things like angle on turrets, weather and so on. And when you load those get automatically started up with some values. Of course this is wrong but it makes the save/load faster. The whole ship resurrection seems a bit overboard tho

Didn't you guys have the "reset to zero morale / experience" on reloading bug too ?

I can live right know with any bug I have seen so far, bug this one is really annoying.

I've got more serious problems with loading a savegame.

My savegame hast just gone byebye. I saved it last night an had no unnormal behaviour of the game. Now, twelve hours later, the SH5 crashes to the desktop every time I load this savegame. On continuing the campaign as well as choosing a savegame.

Any hints? Is there any way to save the savegame or do I have to load an older savegame?

SabreHawk · 04-03-10, 09:46 AM

Yes there's a whole bunch of stuff that isn't getting saved but I think this is being fixed with the upcoming patch.
Yes coming back to a save can be devastating if you close to any warships when you left and the weather was bad.
Best to saved while submerged in these cases for now.

But I have noticed that lately for me the sea state has been saving well, but fog or rain isn't. But I also have noted that some time later after loading a save that the fog returns, usually about an hour after returning to the save.

As to you Xoron, I'd load an earlier save and see if that helps. Whatever is causing it will likely always be there with that save you attempting.
Hard to say just what it is thats causing the crash though, could be anything but likely is associated with that save.

I have had that experience too. Annoying since I was in the Happy Times campaign, and the only new carrier I could choose was Total Germany

I have also tried to roam around in the atlantic for over a month without any contacts, and then I found a juicy convoy (only sound contact, not visual), saved and turned off my computer and when I started and loaded, the escorts was blowing my boat off

Me too, and i have it also with soundloops etc....

Another one,

Saw a carrier in Plymouth, saved the game. The next time i loaded
the game the carrier was gone

Pretty sure the weather changing on re load is in Patch 2 list of fixes, let me check, will edit if not. If I don't edit this then the fix is listed
