My crew can not rest properly. Watchmen are on the knees despite on they has small fatigue and good health. And also guys who is resting has an activity set as maintenance. What is that? I do not have battle station order and the boat is ok.

you should not have to move the crew around for these functions.
there are just four activity modes for crew and they occur automatically:

1. watch
2. maintenance
3. sleep, and, of course,
4. battle stations.

there are three work sections in the game, and that is why you see the crew, less the gun crews and damage control, divided into groups of three. the section that will be on watch next is the section that is sleeping...even if they do not appear to sleeping. got to trust me on this one. :-), even if i am an american. (lmao).

Thank you, i will do it. It seems like a game engine bug.

I fixed my message for more accuracy.
" Watchmen are on the knees despite on they has small fatigue and good health."
It is a main problem.

Where do you have the SH4 game installed (the "path" to it) Dedushka? Also, did you empty the Save folder after activating the mod? Lastly, do you swap-out to the Windows desktop while the game is running, such as for the calculator, or to do email?

D/SH4. For system :C.
No, I did not clean my save folder and swap-out to desktop is my favorite game. I will do it later. Thanks.

ok...you may be leaving your crew on battle stations for excessive periods, by that i mean, too long, such that they are too fatigued to perform their regular functions.

this is a common performance issue that all young kaleuns go through. we have all been there, done that. take care that that you do not leave your crew at battle stations for too long.

here is a trick from an old kaleun: when you are trying to evade the verdampt british and american escorts and running on silent routine, stand down your crew from battle stations. when you are running silent, SH4 does not permit your crew to perform repair work, so then, do not keep them at battle stations. once you have successfully evaded the escorts, recall them to battle stations and let the repairs proceed.

good luck, Herr Kaleun!!

I am gonna to make a new save to check it again. If only I have such a problem I did something wrong.

While most of my messages come in English from the BdU, such as new area assignments and war updates etc, but for some reason whenever I report a convoy I get back my instructions in French. See my attached screenshot. Luckily I do know some French but have also had to resort to Google Translate pointing my phone camera at the screen to understand my orders. Has anyone else experienced this strange behavior?

Thanks

Yes, there are some problems like that with Dark Waters. Some radio messages are sometimes in French, or sometimes you get the same message a few times.

There is a patch in this tread that solves the problems with the orders in French, among other things.
