awww, it's done it AGAIN,

She-Wolf · 01-12-13, 05:08 PM

I recently put TMO 2.5 on again, because I missed it. I had taken it off some while ago because of strange 'blip' which no-one else seems to have experienced. I would be creeping up on my quarry, at night, saving often, and occasionally reloading to a previous save to try again, and I would load back in expecting to see the dark night and my quarry bearing down upon me, just getting nicely lined up - but instead it would be broad daylight, no sign of the ship I had been targetting, but the clock still showing 23.00 or whatever. The clock would continue to give the wrong time for the rest of the mission ( no NOT to do with local time v base time), and it would happen ( night turning to day) several times, until I found it too frustrating to go on as it always seemed to be when I was lining up a target. So I took it off, and the problem went away.

I have been playing TMO 2.5 for about a week- ten days and am on my second mission and lining up on an Akita Maru (?) at about 23.00, saved, reloaded a bit later and suddenly it is full day and my ship is nowhere to be seen - and the time is still at 23.00.

Fed up, up, UP.

I don't recall this issue using TMO, night turning to day. Course, I never save over and over near a group of ships. Do you have the problem when not near ships.

well, one ship. I save lots whatever the scenario, and re-load to a previous save if I am not happy about the out-come or progress of creeping up on the enemy. Obviously one would not need to do that if there was no action coming up ( or if one was a better skipper maybe!). Thing is, it only happened in TMO... Taken it off now (sulk) try something else

Did you install "TMO 2.5 small patch"?

She-Wolf · 01-13-13, 09:14 AM

yes fire, I did; SO discouraged... I feel I am never going to get more than three or four missions into the game befors something goes wrong and I have to start all over... still ( brightens up) I do have the saved data folder, and I did do the JSGME snapshot, so at least I won't have to reinstall everything.
Right now I have computers to fix so I can't scratch that particular itch just yet, but, of course, I will be back on the briny again soon.

I got quite fond of my little starting-out sub in SH3 ( UBII was it?) and even gave it a name - Rotbile, which stands for Rusty Old Tub but I love 'er - because I never ever got enough renown to get a bigger better sub. Think I will have to do the same for my SH4 Porpoise as I can see we are going to spend a loooooong time together.

From what I've read, you should only save when you haven't got any contacts (air or sea).
Sometimes you'll get problems like smoke coming from you sub when submerged and other symptoms like the ones you described.

Can't remember where I read that tho (read to much to recall the thread or post).
