My boat does not dive correctly.

[TheBeast]

Sounds like the dial texture being used does not match dial calibration or the dial texture may not be centered correctly.

[StarTrekMike]

I would understand that if it did not happen about half way into my patrol.

I installed all my mods again and I will use this as a excuse to restart the game in the "western approaches" part where I ended on my last long running game.


lets hope a refresh of the mod soup will kick that depth meter into calibration.

actully my UI from TDW has always done this, you order 20m it takes you to 18...If i remember correct its been like this forever...

[StarTrekMike]

this seems to be the first day that I have experienced it, removed and reloaded all my mods and it seems that it is still like that.

it is just a minor annoyance and I just kinda chalk it up to be part of my boats "personality" but it could become a problem when I am searching for the right depth and it gives me two or three meters less when I am in a critical moment.


TDW, you got any ideas about this issue?

My dive depth has gone like this too. 2 Meters short of what i ordered.

I'm sure it never used to be like this, but i could be wrong.

[StarTrekMike]

like I said, this started mid patrol and the only new mod I am using is the additional upgrades mod that TheBeast just released (along with the fix for zero renown that goes with it)

I have unloaded and reloaded all mods and it still seems to give that problem.

if I was not going so well in my game I would start removing some, as it stands I really can't and find the problem far less harmful then the solution.

That said, I still kinda wish it had a solution that I am missing.

Give it time and your boat will settle down the last few meters. Unless of course this is a while after you've ordered a specific depth.

As TheBeast stated In stock (And other UI's Dials) the dials.cfg start and end angles do not match the graphic angles 100% hence the little error in dive depth.

Therefore when you click on 20M that actual angle corresponds to 18M in the dials.cfg.

When I created my Dials for my Ui_Boat Mod I calibrated all the angle within Graphic Textures I made to the dial.cfg values to get them 100%.

So stock and any UI's that copy the layout of the stock dial graphics and dial.cfg values will suffer this problem

Well, that would explain why you wouldn't dive to 20m if you gave the command via depth dial, but - at least IMO - it does not explain why you would end up at 10m if you gave the "dive to periscope depth" command - which is configured in...ahm...some submarine related .cfg file

See yellow text above.

I don't think this is the cause of the depth problems but may help other issues.

Also my sub not going to correct depth has fixed itself after starting a new patrol.

So this problem may be a stock game bug and has nothing to do with mods.

can I change the order of my mods as described above while still on patrol, I imagine it would probably give a few problems.

If so I can cut this patrol short and return to port. I just hope I won't need to start a new game.
