Have to check how it was in RL, and try to mod it if possible of course, without breaking anything else.

Well... I think having to do the work yourself should be rewarded. 30km sounds like a lot... But you don't cover all that much with an extra 10km.

Having a good balance of realism without having it get in the way of gameplay is always something to keep in mind.

Did a little bit of research on my end. Didn't dig deep so you might want to double check. But, 20/30 sounds about right for 39.

Well it seems GHG & KDB hydrophones could pick up single vessels to 20Km...and convoys up to 100Km.

Ingame, single vessel can be hear by player at 30Km and pick up by AI hydro man at 20Km.
Seems ok to me, and will not change that

I don’t think SH4 can gather all ships at 100Km as one big single contact
Game always treat them as individual contact (that’s why always so much contact speech when closing)
I’d like to hear my hydro announcement for a convoy at 100Km, even 50!
But i don’t see for the moment how to work this, and most of all if it’s even possible

I have come across a particular problem and wonder if someone can check it out for me.

I ran Quick Mission RUM 391014 U47 1939 both in Dark Waters and then going back to Operation Monsun Enhanced and in both missions I get either a screen freeze or a CTD.

I have no problems with other Quick Missions just this Scapa Flow one.

Hi Kiwi,
I will check tomorrow and report you back
But i never had problems with the quick missions so far.
Maybe i never tried the scapa one...don’t remember

[lederhosen]

possible bug.....SOLVED

happened twice now

Type IIC sep 39

I dived to make an attack. By the end I had about 5% CO2 level. Surfaced, battry recharge ok, but the CO2 keeps getting worse. I saved and exited at 11%...I tried raising the flag in the hope this would help.


either save while surfaced, exit game and reload it.
or, click on the "CO2" marker in the upper right corner while submerged and you will surface and the problem is gone.

That’s a very old SH4 bug that i NEVER had in OM or DW.
I already hear about it long time ago, but never encountered it.
Many times bugs can be solved by exiting game and reloading

Finally quickly tested it right now, and no problem here...everything loads and start fine.
I’m afraid it’s on your side

I'm having a problem when game start. Randomly, I receive a message about a runtime on sh4.exe and the game goes CTD.

This happens with DW v3 in rare times. In v4 with patch is more frequent. The game starts, average, 1 OK to 5 CTDs.

I added DW v4 on a new SH4 1.5 installation.

Vanilla game starts OK.

My FOTRSU starts OK.

LAA applied.

Unknown reason for me. And very annoying.

When the game starts, runs fine, missions, patrols, campaign, museum.

My PC is enough to run TWoS at 60 FPS, so I don't think it is a hardware power issue.

Some kameraden with the same problem?

Many thanks and regards.

Thanks for the quick reply re Quick Mission and I should have said that the mission loads and I start to follow the plotted course and as I get towards the final course plot that that is when it freezes or CTD
Cheers

Well. I resolved this

I deleted the two movies WMV files in Data\Movies\Intro: Logo and Intro.

Now the game starts OK. It seems there is a problem with those two WMVs, or my machine has a problem with the files.

@Fifi, please could ckeck this, though it can be an issue in my machine and others.

Best regards.

Hello, out of curiosity is this mod compatible with G7eT2's excellent U-boat Dynamics? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=207791

Glad you solved it
The intro logo is a dds file absolutely same as stock, so it can’t be culprit.
The intro movie is a wmv file made by Niume some time ago, and you’re the first having trouble with it…
I would say your machine had problem reading it, as you found it, but here no issue.
We keep your solution for future help if needed

If this mod change any data/objects/filexxx.dat or any data/submarine/filexxx.dat it is NOT compatible.
Dark Waters change so many OM files, that almost no mods are compatible...
