The usual unrecorded tonnage issue, why??

Boggy · 07-29-06, 05:04 AM

Hi all,

I've done my first patrol with the GW mod and noticed that I was a victim of the common 'unrecorded tonnage bug'. The same thing happened to me on my previous carreer (I didn't upgrade before the first patrol) , so I reinstalled everything and started a new carreer and didn't upgrade before shipping out.

I did my first patrol and sunk 8 ships...a good 35K tons....came back to wilhelmhaven. Upon docking my patrolstatistics say that I didn't sink anything.

I definitly didn't upgrade before shipping out...so why do I get this bug?

Any clues?

If you want your tonnage score to be correctly recorded you have to send a patrol report by radio message!

I sent a patrol after every attack (and seeing the 'She's going down' message). :hmm:

Try doing again it before docking...

Lol...
No thats absolutely not true... it doesnt matter if you send a Report or not...

@Boggy
I dunno why you are a victim to this bug, i only had this in MP a few times, never in SP...

As far as I know, if you upgrade your sub before leaving port on the first patrol, no tonnage is recorded. How on Earth Ubisoft came up with such a bug, though, I don't know

You can always manually edit it in the cfg file

Well, I just finished my second patrol, and the tonnage is recorded!
I only sank allied ships this time....on my first patrol I also sank a few neutral units, could that also be a reason why the tonnage wasn't recorded?

A funny thing happened during this second patrol, I shot a torpedoe at a large merchant, it hit but it didn't sink....so I repositioned myself and shot again and sunk it this time round. But for some reason I didn't get the message 'she's going down' and therefore also didn't get the tonnage. I've not seen this before...is it another bug?
