Have a question about Time Compression...

You completely misread that, I did not in any way mean to belittle you!! If you read it that way I apologize, I did not mean it like that at all. It was simply a comment that there is no "simple" answer to the question. I just meant that you are familiar with computers and know there could be a lot of different things involved, but we will try to help if we can. In other words you are not someone that just bought your first computer. You understand that there could be 100 different reason for something like this, so we are just trying to give ideas or suggestions about what 'may' be causing the problem.

We have all had slowdowns at one time or another for different reasons, but I have never heard of one like this at all, especially the 128x part. I have had times with ships in the area that I could only go 128 then it would spot another ship and go back to 8x then I could go back up to 512x or 1024x and bang back to 8x but I have never heard of a problem with 128x max for an entire trip back to base. So just trying to throw out ideas to see if we can find a solution.

Again I apologize for the misunderstanding.

To me, the time compression problem seems unsolvable. If you are still having difficulty, do what I did when in a similar situation. Start a new career. I was running a career where I was based in Perth, Australia and was sent to patrol the Luzon Strait. There was no way I could get there and back to base without running out of fuel no matter what speed I used or route I took. At 10 knots, a Gato class boat should have made the trip with ease. I started a new career, deleted all the saved missions and have had no further fuel shortage trouble. So, you may have a corrupted file that is loading each time you restart your career. Not knowing how the program uses saved game data, that is just a guess. The game can be frustrating at times but is still worth playing.

Best of luck.

I notice that as you increase TC you can hear the subs enviromental Sounds and then.... they STOP. With only 512mb of Rambus Memory and a ATI 3850 AGP 8X Graphics Card w/512mb of video memory 2.6GHz cpu the sub sounds in the background Stop for me at 64 TC. Patrols are long but...as long as I have the modders outstanding mods like radio and gramaphone. I'm just glad to be hear.
