Crash dive....OF DOOM!? - Page 2

There is a bug in core SH3 that if the value "WindSpeed=" is set to 0 in the three Campaign_xxx.mis files, when you load you a saved campaign you will crash dive straight to the bottom. This bug was just uncovered over the weekend. See the following thread:

This doesn't sound like that bug we've been working on, Lurker.

mookiemookie: I assume this happens when you crash dive, and not immediately after a save game, right? And you hit the bottom of the ocean, rather than diving to ~500m?

We've been working on a bug with a possible weather-editting solution (we're still narrowing down the cause), but it happens just after loading a saved game, and your boat tips to a crazy angle and dives to ~500 m, then gets stuck there. External views get all messed up, too.

If that's what you're talking about, Lurker's right. If you're saying you hit crash dive, the boat acts like normal, but it just doesn't level off until you hit the bottom (at which point, you can recover/repair if you're not too badly damaged), then that's not our bug.

Edit: At least, I hope that's not our bug. Things are complicated enough as it is, without having multiple symptoms ;o)

Your bug? :rotfl:

Is this game so modded now that bugs are being invented?:rotfl:

Saying 'our' was a lot shorter than saying 'that weird bug we're researching where you crash dive at insane speeds to ~500m once you open a saved game, if you're using SH3Weather and WindRand is set to 0, but it isn't replicable on everybody's machines."

See, wasn't 'our' a lot shorter?

Correct. Only when I crash dive. And as far as hitting the bottom, I can't say. I was in deep and open ocean and went down to about 175 m before I realized what was happening and blew ballast to get myself out of the dive.

That being said, this was all before my career file got corrupted and would give me CTD's while loading the game. I have since wiped and reinstalled completely. No problems as of yet. Knock on wood.

Hi All

WoW! I must be really lucky because, I save and exit all the time
submerged. When I do it on the surface I get jumped by planes or
destroyers.They come out of nowhere. And also a couple I installed
a mod and forgot to rollback. Remembered after loading and exited.
Rolledback and reloaded. No CTD. I'm very lucky

Or the GWX
built one heck of a good mod. Very forgiveing for some of us
knuckleheads.

Just for the record I run GWX,SH3 Com 2.7, SH Gen, most of
the GWX jsgme installable mods and a couple of GWX approved
mods and NEVER had a ctd.

GWX ROCKS
