Help! Photo Op mission wont end!

DigitalAura · 09-13-09, 08:10 AM

Do you recall how many ships there were for you? Dummy ships sounds possible, I've found 3 boxes indicating stationary ships. But I've driven right over top of them!
There's nothing there...
I didn't try to LOCK ON to them, so I'll try that... Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the dummy targets are not in TMO, but RSRD. They will show as a green icon. Just sunken hulls that stick out of the water so you can lock on. They show in the ID book as Targets 1&2 and are used in a mission to photo ports, not ships. You don't run over them, but into them and they can damage you sub.

VOILA...

Ghost ships.. they are 1000 yards away, and yet there is nothing there. Don't know if this relates to this problem or not. I reloaded the game from here again this morning and no ghost ships, but still can't proceed with the mission.

Don't hit me, but i think thats it

Had a recon mission myself, yesterday. I lock on automatically before pressing the phototrigger, so i can't tell you for sure if it makes a difference.

cheers

Well..the ghost ships are gone now.

Cant find anything else to LOCK ON and photograph.

This mission was bugged in stock. I think it remained bug in TMO up to TMO162. I thought it was fixed in the latest version of TMO, but it may not be.

If you're sure you're playing TMO1.7 I thought it would work, but since it's not it makes me wonder.....

Anyway, here is a patch that fixed all the recon missions. It was for stock and worked for an older version of TMO.

You might want to try it if your just running TMO...

There are no ghost ships, other than the Dutchman...........

dude...thanks!

oh..."Any TMO version above 1.52 has this MOD included."

Armistead · 09-13-09, 04:24 PM

The latest ver of TMO is 1.7..He doe's have 1.8 out in a beta. I've played it and overall it's stable, but I want to see more adjustments on it before I play a career.

I thought the recon bugs we're fixed with TMO 1.7, but if that's what you're running, obviously not, but I find it hard to believe Duc didn't include the fixes for it. I run RSRD with TMO which fixes it, but you get few recon missions unless you stay in older boats. I haven't got that mission with RSRD. Still, I've heard no complaints with any missions with TMO1.7.
Just makes me wonder about your game if it's bugged. You did say you saw a Trigger Maru Overhaul new start up screen and sure your running it?

I'll ask Duc about the mission and if the bug was fixed or not.

Thanks Armistead, I have PMed him already to see what he thinks.
I'm sure my TMO is running well by all other counts, and I've noticed a tremendous change in comparison to stock.
