Whats the solution to a crew that...

Boats · 05-12-11, 10:35 PM

won't man their watch stations when surfacing. I did a search but the number of threads...
Anyway, should I be standing in a certain location in the boat when I order surface? Or ?
I noticed that the only thing that brings them topside when they decide to stay below is to save and exit the game. Then when I restart they're where they should be. Anyone have this problem?

THE_MASK · 05-12-11, 10:40 PM

Reading past threads , i am sure its because you dont have enough of something . Ram or what , i dunno .

Rubini · 02-19-12, 10:02 AM

Sorry to revamp an old thread. I spent an hour searching the forum about the exactly above problem and didn´t find any clue or fix.

I have a new installation with more or less the sobers mods list. All then last version. But sometimes when I surface, the crew don´t moves to the deck. Even in calm wheater - clear, nofog, 5m/s. Using last TDW UI.
The unique solution until now is to save/reload the game.

This is really odd and annoy my game play.

Any idea?

I got that problem too, but only sometimes. Afaik you need to restart the game, no other solution yet.

I've had it happen to me once too. As has been mentioned, saving and then reloading fixes it. What causes it, however, I don't know.

uekel · 02-19-12, 11:02 AM

It´s one of the stock-game bugs. CO2 not refresh too, and you cannot load external torpedos. Only helps save and reload. Especially annoying, in conjunction when you have damaged some ships. They´re fresh after reload.

Exactly! Well, new here at SH5. So much things are fixed, some seems more complex than this one. This is a must need fix, it´s really so much frequent and can bring really odd&annoying problems like uekel described.
I yet don´t saw any other big problem with the (modded/fixed) UIs as this one.

TheDarkWraith · 02-19-12, 11:39 AM

more than likely you have installed something that lowered (increased draught) of the sub. This will cause havoc and will cause the problem described. Remove the mod(s) that increase sub draught and see if the problem doesn't go away.

Rubini · 02-19-12, 11:50 AM

Thanks for the tip TDW. I will look at it and will report back.
Have not yet the opportunity to say "thank you" for all your hard and excellent work on SH5, thanks very much, sir!

TheDarkWraith · 02-19-12, 12:57 PM

I could be wrong but I thought dynamic environment changed the sub's .sim files to give it a more rolling motion. It changed many parameters for the sub like draught, drag, etc. I could be totally wrong but this is what I seem to remember

As you can see above in my list I don´t really use any env mod. I only use the high resolution underwater rocks/flora from Din.Env that don´t have any file that overwrite sub´s files. Anyhow don´t forget that it´s a intermitent problem, not all the time. I´m playing in the last two hours and the problem didn´t happened again.
I will maintain this thread alive as I found any news/clue on the matter.

stoppro · 02-19-12, 01:33 PM

I have had that happen a few times. I teleport back to the attack scope and then again to the bridge. most of the time they return with me.

0rpheus · 02-19-12, 01:36 PM

It's also worth noting that alt-tabbing in/out of game also causes problems for the watch crew - not going below when diving and not appearing when surfaced.

If you do alt-tab during SH5, don't - and you might see an improvement.

Did you say that your using Sober's list? I think your problem may be solved by merely rearranging your mod soup. Try putting your Mighty fine crew mods after the enviornment mods. The animation might be having problems following the env mods.
Anyway, I have the mighty fine crew right after all of the env mods and almost never have any animation problems. The one problem I do have is documented and the crew doesn't come off the bridge after ordering a dive, then I just pess dive (or periscope depth) again twice in a row and they come in and the ship dives.
Anyway, I hope rearranging them will help.
Good Hunting Herr Kaleun!
