Sewing machine engine

Col7777 · 05-19-20, 04:07 AM

When surfaced and on the bridge, the engine noise sounds like a sewing machine.
I looked in the Sounds folder and listened to the engine sounds, they all seem to sound a bit rough plus I notice there is a Mix sound and that too is rough but none were like the sewing machine sound as I call it.

I was looking to substitute it for something a bit less noisy and smoother, realistic or not.

That is one of the annoying bugs in the game, seems to happen when coming out of TC. One workaround is to vary your engine speed and the sound will go back to normal.

Thanks BR, Yes I noticed that when I changed screen and went back to the bridge it had gone, I thought it was just me setup, I didn't know it was a known bug.

no problem, there are a lot of little niggly bugs like that that you just learn to live with. especially with save games. Feel free to ask, someone around here usually knows the answer.

Funny you mention saved games BR, I just had to re-install my SH4, I got a few CTD's after I tried to save a game, very annoyed because I was part way through a patrol and it took me ages to get to where I was.

save games are always a problem, even when you follow all the rules, you could still have issues.

first, before you start a campaign, you have to make sure you have a stable, CTD free mod instal, then, ideally, make no changes to your mods or game options during the campaign.

second, there are threads on "rules" to follow when saving. I always save surfaced, on the NAV map, with the game paused and ideally with no land or ships in the area.

I also save every 12 hours, at least, so that if any issues do crop, I have issue free saves I can go back to.
