Sub won't dive!

kentcol · 05-26-07, 03:58 PM

Installed w/patch 1.02 and RFB 1.27. Started new campaign and after completing my patrol mission, found a small convoy. Pressed "P" attempting to go to periscope depth. Nothing. Clicked on depth meter at bottom to set dive depth. Nothing. Hit "C" to crash dive. Nothing. Why can I not get my sub to dive? Also, all crew members are at proper stations.

Rollback mod.and try. Defrag. You may have gotten a corrupted commands.cfg file? Download

This happened to me quite a few times. Whenever I would order periscope depth, my engines would be set to stop and I'd still be on the surface. For hours after the order.

The workarond was manually setting the depth. The red indicator on the Shallow depth meter indicated max periscope depth. The red indicator on the Full Depth meter indicates Crush depth (max safe depth for your sub).

For reference, periscope depth is around 12-16m for most subs.

switch, tried that and didn't work. Donut, will try your suggestion. Thanks.

Stop using no-cd cracked executables and these issues will disappear.

S!

Probex, thanks for your concern but I'm not using any crack. You need to ask before you assume something or don't bother answering.

Probex's suggestion is not totally out of line as many nocd users experience the same problem. Glad that's not your problem. I'll echo then the suggestion mods may have corrupted your game.

I know we've heard these things before, and we don't like the time involved but I would un-install the game, delete any remnants of it, run a registry cleaner, then re-install the game. Next, the patch. I've been using patch v1.2 and it seems to be behaving itself!

I would suggest you read the read me's and you use the search opitions. and maybe the new members how too!!!

I know this sounds kinda lame but, it's kinda how the rest uf us been told how to do it.

What do you say huh?

switch.dota · 05-27-07, 02:11 AM

On the issue of no cds, I can say for certain these issues are not related to no cd fixes -- I use on myself. No, I acutually OWN the game. It's just that I don't fancy swapping DVDs.

I don't mean it in an accusing fashion. I use no-cd cracks in pretty much all of my games, and am a great supporter of them. I find it almost insulting that a product for which I paid money is wasting my time unnecessarily and forces me to flip cds for no reason.

This game, however, does not tolerate cracked executables. I have great hopes that after the final patch someone will make a good cracked executable.

This game will not always manifest a problem with a no-cd exec, but once in a while it will. I tested it.

S!

Before this becomes a No-cd discussion - a piece of advice. Whether you use em here or not - dont say so here and just leave it at "make sure your not using one". I got scolded (rightly so) by the Onkel for a thread that headed in the direction this one is going - and figure you all would rather get a reminder from someone other than he.

As for the issue - replacing the commands.cfg should solve the issue - but if not then reinstall and repatch may be the only answer.

Yep, been around these boards 3 years longer than you have. I know how to use the search. Thanks for your concern.
