Problem in Darkwaters 1943 conning tower

[1Patriotofmany]

I was just given a new conning tower in sept. 1943 for my uboat. Now when trying to get the campaign going I get cannot comply whenever I set a course or try to get the uboat going. The radio and listening rooms are underneath and blank, There's no deck gun, while out side the sub shows one.


Is this a known problem that there is a fix too?

yes...and i quote:

IF YOU HAVE THE TURM UPGRADE ISSUE (from SKIDMAN):

« Both the Typ VII and the Typ IX U-Boat will receive conning tower upgrades as the game proceeds. Every time I was awarded a new "Turm", the result was a submarine that could not move forward, or backward. A "Cannot comply" message was displayed instead. The crew screen showed missing and empty slots. This bug has been experienced and described before, and -as lurker put it- it is a nasty one. So from my experience a conning tower upgrade means end of your career. This is not acceptable.

the fix is also posted in this thread.

Awesome! Thank you. Now I need to kill all the tonnage before I went back to base, I deleted the in base saves..... Oh wait, I can restore them, I didn't clean out the trash pail! Thanks again. you're a life/career saver!

I just noticed you live in the Chicago area. Isn't that more dangerous than being a uboat crewman during WWII?

yes, definitely.

and more random also.

it is very similar to playing SH4. you be motoring along not bothering anyone, doing what you are supposed to be doing and then...all of a sudden...you hear breaking glass...and the control room starts to spin...and then you get the announcement that you are dead.
