Weird map in Career mode (FIXED)

[Tobus]

Hi all,

I have a question: I started a career today for the first time. After going to my navigation, my map is all screwy:



Blue lines of water diagonally cross my map. Scrolling the map around and/or zooming displace these blue lines also. Navigating is impossible. I tried to plan by heart but wound up ramming Molokai Island. I do not have this in other modes.

Any clues?

Same problem here too after patch 1.2. Not only in Career but also in other modes. Sometimes it's like this and sometimes it's perfectly normal.

The only way of avoiding this problem seems to be going back to the default resolution of 1024*768.

Hmm, strange. Now that you mention it, I did not have this with v1.1, although I played with that for only 2 days before v1.2 came out.

I am at 1024*768. I'll try to mess with the other graphics settings then.

Hope they fix this **** in 1.3

Probably a lot of grognards out there who'd love this feature and go "yay, finally no GPS map! Thanks, Ubi!":p

Seriously, though, that is weird.

Looks like Freddy Krüger scratched once with its hand over the map:rotfl:

That's the 1st effect of using the HATRED NO/CD/DVD crack followed by repeating voices, some non-working keyboard keys an 2D commandroom...

Buy the game, or stop using the no-dvd .exe.

I do, Just bought a new dvd drive for my computer. Clean install went directly to 1.2 patch. I continued my career, all problems gone, no more 2d possessed crews and weird map like this.

My dvd drive is really old, Its a 5 year old 12x generic dvd-rom.

Got a new ASUS 16x dvd-rom drive.

Perhaps you guys need to do a clean install, skip the 1.1, and patch directly 1.2.

I bought the game (starting to regret this ), not using any no-dvd crack, thank you very much....

I am on 1024*768, AA is app controlled in panel (I think, will have to check).
And I don't have this all the time. Only in Careermode, but saving-quitting-restarting SH4-reloading does the trick 50% of the time.

I also patched v1.2 from v1.1, so I'll do a re-install, delete entire directory and go straight to v1.2 to verify if this helps.

btw, I have a nVidia 6600GT 8xAGP.

I post this problem in the bug thread also. Anyway, I tried all methods including complete clean install the game and apply patch 1.2 without 1.1..................same problem happened. For now, all I can do is restart the game when it happens, seem to work............50%!!!

Oh, and I have a legal copy so the nocd crack is not an issue here.........

I have a nvidia 6800 ultra agp using 91.47 driver.

I have this issue too. Another thread had the suggestion that changing the resolution to 1024x768 fixed the problem. I can now confirm that this is NOT the case. I started a career at 1024x768 and on loading a saved game (still at 1024x768) the map bug reappeared.

BTW I am using anti-aliasing and I'm damned if I'm going to switch it off. A game should be able to handle anti-aliasing. In fact it should be something I can choose in the game's graphics options. I'm tired of the Silent Hunter series not supporting what other games regard as standard options.

I didn't accuse anyone of using a nodvd crack, I just said these are some of the symptoms when using a said crack. I visit another forum that discusses topics like that an SH4 is an ongoing topic there.

My copy runs great, installed v1 > patched to v1.1 an now 1.2 with no problem

Had that problem myself after i turned on AA. It disappeared once turned off.

I got the same problem in the navigator map…
In order to add more confusion to the theme…that is what I discover…
I was in a career, position near Midway, stopped and surface. At this time a checked the navigators map and it was OK. At this point I saved the game (name: Midway 1).
Next…
I ordered “emergency dive” and I crash against the bottom sea, I got some light damage.
I ordered “repair the damage” and everything was OK except that the navigators map show then the weird blue bands. I saved the game again at this point (name: Midway 2).
Well, after all of that I close the game reset the machine and start again loading the game.
I select career and reloading Midway 2 saved position…check the map and it was BAD.
I select career and reloading Midway 1 saved position…check the map and it was OK.
My conclusions are:
Nothing regarding to my 6200 Nvidia card.
Nothing regarding to patch 1.2
Something is going bad in the program crash management area.
Should be a bug…
WHAT IS HAPPENING after a damage situation????
the ship is repaired but the map is not ?
A crash even destroy the map?
I can not understand...
