aahhh... I have gone back to a save where I am in the English Channel proper, and I have TC'd up to x32, gone to periscope depth, generally fiddled about, and all is behaving ( so far) as it should, so I think it might be to do with being in shallow water between two land masses ( I am guessing, but it isn't where you would normally expect to see a sub is it?).

I can remember once before, probably before GWX, where there was a 'funny' if you were in shallow water, where, if you tried to put the event camera close to another boat, you would get a CTD. Perhaps this is related. Anyway, I have cheered up again. Thank you for your help gentlemen

but I remember the time that you mention,also but I do not use TC as close to the country and not to a port action,but you mentioned the you had only 10% of battery left, so surely you must charge,surface and circulate for a while so you have margin to carry out an attack,and returned with new force

the plan was to charge en route to Southampton under cover of darkness, but the ctd stopped that. Being too close to land may be what the problem was whatever, I am somewhere in the channel now and all is fine

i used to play on an old laptop that was borderline requirements and would have some silly issues with things like this
