Hey guys, anyone had this problem. I am running ver 1.4 [cannot afford 1.5 addon due to financial probs] with RFB 1.4 . Started a carrear from dec 1941. Everthing went well until transfered in 1943 to Brisbane. Set out from Brisbane, carried out patrol but on return to Brisbane I was only allowed to refuel/rearm or postpone, the end patrol option was greyed out. The game did not acknowledge Brisbane as my home base. As I always save before nearing home base I was able to reload and try various options so sailed to pearl my previous home base but same problem, it refused to let me dock anywhere just rearm and refuel! I then loaded the save departing Brisbane tried sailing out and back, same problem! I then took out RFB and put in TMO, loaded depart Brisbane, sailed out and back, same problem. I then loaded depart Brisbane again but when I looked at the transfer screen I saw I had option with TMO of transfering back to pearl so back to pearl I went and HOORAY I was able to dock again and carry on my carrear.

It's because they transfer the SS boats to the other side. So if that's not the case then I have no clue.

After you transfer, make sure to check the nav map and look at the anchor in the flag. It should be tilted. If straight up, it is not your home port.

Thanks pal I looked at the map and found that although I transferred to Brisbane and went on parol from there my home port was then altered to Freemantle! By the way, went on patrol from pearl with TMO, sank loads of enemy shipping, tried to return to port but every time I clicked on "next" on the evaluation screen, instead of the office the game CTDed, oh well I hope that one day I will be able to get the 1.5 U-Boat addon and hopefully cure these glitches.
