Stuck Dials

[U56]

I am wondering if many have come across this particular problem. Everything was ok for about 4 or 5 saves during my current career, then all the interior dials are frozen with the needles pointing straight up, 12 o'clock position. The tool bar dials continue to work and display fine, the game plays ok, but the various dials no longer move. My sonar dial, previously draggable with the mouse, no longer is. At least it works with the home and end keys.

So far exiting the game has not cleared this problem. For info I am using a Type VII. I have the following mods installed (My system is Windows XP).

TMO Overhauled 1.5B
Op Monsun V200
OMV200 Patch 4
TMO enable UBoat V4
Spaxs SH4 UBoat Speech Fix V7

I can confirm this one, on my install its the Hydrophone bearing indicator that sticks. You can still see it rotate in the notepad. Its intermittant for me.

My Mod list;

EE4.6
OM V200
OM Patch 4

I have no idea what is causing this.

I saw the same thing useing the IXD. All the HUD dials worked correctly, but the 3d Control Room dials, as well as Sonar/Radar were stuck. The only thing that worked for me so far was to abandon the carreer, and start a new one. Fortunatly for me, it was only my first mission. Very frustrating to say the least!

I have a suspicion this problem may be related to a corrupt save. In my current career I finished my first patrol back in La Pallice, and the situation has now returned to normal with the dials functioning again, after loading from an autosave in order to commence a second patrol. Come to think of it, I did save some of my saves by saving on top of previous saves, and this may have triggered the problem. I will avoid this on the next patrol and see if there is any recurrence or not.

This thread about stuck dials reminds me about a really old SH3 bug, related to the presence of improperly cloned AI subs on the map. In brief, savging the game and reloading in the proximity of such an AI sub results in dials stuck at 12 o'clock. Details here:

I don't know if this is the cause now, but maybe it's something similar.

The only AI U-boats are the Milch Cow / cloned Type IX from nautilus42

It appears that it is related to the date. after oct 1943 the radar/hydro equipment in the monsun campaign ceases to work (probably because it is outdated). As a qick fix try to decrease the actual date in crareertrack.upc. Works for me.

The problem is related to a confict berween RSRDC Patch that add the AI IX-D2 Uboat and OMV200. If you run OMV200 by itself there is no problem. I have a fix in the works and will be out tomorrow some time.
