Locked Hydrophone??

[Ducimus]

If using TMO, some particulars would be nice.
Such as:

What boat were you using?
What year was it?
When did you notice all needles were frozen?
About where did this occur?
Was your boat damaged at all?
Did you encounter any AI submarines at all?



I think i know what it might be, i'm just trying to be sure. The problem is, this bug isn't consistent.

As far as I can recall.....

If using TMO, some particulars would be nice.
Such as:

-TMO 2 or 2.1, can't remember which

What boat were you using?- Tautog
What year was it? -mid to late '42 (?)
When did you notice all needles were frozen?-immediately after loading
About where did this occur? - SE Asia north of Timor(?)
Was your boat damaged at all? -can't remember
Did you encounter any AI submarines at all? -YES, sunk a jap sub SE of Davao gulf.

Hope this helps- Eric

Sometimes alt tabing alot makes that happen to me, but home and end still spin the wheel even though the cursor doesn't.

A few mods also make the cursor not work, but home and end will spin it.

See aboive for my answers. Being honest, this is not the first time it has happend. It also happend in my Porpoise USS Permit at the beginning of my career.

Seems to be a hit and miss, some patrols it will happen, others not.

Either way, if its happens, I effectivley cannot use my sonar, instead trying to rely on reports from the guy manning it and even then its tricky enough. I like to listen to a contact if I can after detecting it on radar to decide if I should intercept. If its a merchant, yes.....if its destroyer props, not really worth it. If its a task force, hell yes haha

Have you tried the up and down arrows on your keyboard?

I haven't payed too much attention to the type of sub and such, but that seems to work.

[Ducimus]

I replicated the problem, tried a solution, and the problem went away.

[Daniel Prates]

Almost every time someone complains about this input problem, the keybord arrows seem to solve the problem.

Had this problem myself while playing the Med. campaign for WDAD.

The cause (in that instance) was discussed in this post

Until it's resolved here, You can still use the sonar by placing the cursor into the repeater and spinning the mouse wheel. The bearing indicator won't move, but the bearings on the notepad will change and the green lamp will light-up when you find a contact - which you'll also hear if strong enough.
