I think the glowing is a feature not a bug. The devs should focus on real bugs.
There is also a mod for that already out there

Let the devs fix the bugs, we will do the rest

It's already been fixed. Try reading the Mods forum.

Well unless I am totally blind, I see no way to "Set Heading to XXX". No little compass to click on like in the past.. nothing. I can set a waypoint in the direction I want to go, or manually use rudder and center it when I am heading where I want to go, but only roughly where I want to go, because as I said I have no compass. I can see my speed and my depth.. why do I have no handy Heading gauge on my shiny modern HUD? I believe heading is somewhat important to navigation.

If I am stupid and missing something obvious in game (always a possibility) please let me know lol. If not I hope someone, Ubi or modders, can add these basics to the game.

For devs' attention, reposting from other thread:

Morale still resets on game reload for an in-port save. I also noticed that reloading in-port saves causes the characters in the bunker to "lose" their names - the flottilla commander and technical officer are introduced as "JOB RANK name".

EDIT: this affects all saves, not just in port. I hope this is fixed soon!

I bet he's watching Cheryl Bernard and the Canadian women's curling team.

Seriously, haven't played much, but how does one get on the UZO anyway? Or am I missing something basic?

Oilskins for the crew when the weather is bad.

EDIT Also a proper PBY5 Catalina in stead of this abomination. What is that, a fantasy patrol plane?

AFAIK, this has to do with a very stupid copyright issue in the US. A number of actual aircraft from WWII are still under copyright and there have been legal troubles for using their likeness in games, which is why many publishers choose to avoid using them now.

Would love to have the option of being able to install BOTH language packs, and then choosing between them as part of the in-game options...rather than having to choose between English and German during installation.

I don't have a problem with installing it twice (once for English, once for German, so I can get both experiences), I'd just rater like to have the option of switching in game, that's all.

Signs point to a performance problem with shadows killing framerates inside the boat on nvidia cards (but not ATI). Devs, to the rescue please!

Rickenbacker · 03-03-10, 06:39 AM

Stuff I think needs fixing urgently:

- The morale bug on reloading a saved game (a game breaker!).
- Conversations starting over from the beginning, no matter how many times you've talked to a crewman. It's like reading an entire novel (that you've already read) after a few patrols.
- Put the "depth under the keel" and "return to course" commands back in.
- Add automatic TDC, when selected in the options. Currently we have some half-assed version where you have to lead your targets manually even when using auto-TDC, and that's just not cool.
- Add the deck gunner on deck (I forget his name) and give us the option to order him to aim for different parts, cease fire, fire at will etc. In short, give us some gunnery options. And don't forget these commands for the flak gun too.

Would really like to see ( after a couple of months when the most important patches/mods have been incorporated ) a comprehensive MANUAL made to adequately describe the current ( improved ) state of the sim. Important elements like auto and manual targeting, maps ( German grids, historical convoy routes etc. ) that both new and experienced players could refer. It could be a text file, ( although pics would be nice ) PDF or whatever flavor is best for most. Most all subsequent mods or patches one choose to apply usually have attached text files which would simply be addendums. I just don't fathom how Ubi expected to entice fresh blood with the sorry excuse they supplied. Word of mouth soon spreads and I can see the casual/FPS/RPG crowd staying well away from this edition. Lord, it's taking HARDCORE simmers O/T to figure out!!!!!

Same here w/ 9800GTX 512MB Card. Had to turn off shadows to get it running somewhat fluent.
