Another Sub That Won't Stop Diving

05-07-16, 09:16 PM

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. Apologies also for necrotizing this thread.

I recently reinstalled SH3 after reformatting my HD and noticed that I'm having the same issue as the original poster. My boat takes the slightest bit of damage or floods a bit and it's impossible to recover from even a shallow dive. Even once my crew have fixed the flooding, the boat will either drive around on the bottom of the ocean floor, or will pitch way nose up and won't hold attitude when I blow ballast. If I blow enough ballast the boat will surface, but diving again takes me right back down to the sea floor.

Here's my mod list. Not really that much stuff out of the ordinary. I can't recall this happening with GWX a while back, is it a part of the realism?

Sabotage/mechanical failure is turned off in SH3Commander.

GWX - Alternative Flotillas
GWX - Axis Mediterranean Aircraft Skins
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - Integrated Orders
GWX - Late War Sensors Snorkel Antennas
GWX - Main movie - 'Das Boot'
GWX - Merged Campaign
GWX - No Medals on Crew
GWX - VIIC41 Player Sub
GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Open Hatch Mod
Q Ship mod GWX3.0
Torpedo damage Final ver2.0
Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_21_204f

Appreciate the help, thank you!

Try uninstalling the Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_21_204f mod because as far as I can remember it did have an effect on repairs.

I agree with Jim - that seems to be the only mod you list that might be causing the problem.

Thanks for the assistance so far. Unfortunately, even after removing Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_21_204f the slow sinking continues.

Basically, anytime my boat takes even the slightest bit of damage, it seems to "virtually" flood until it can no longer maintain buoyancy.

Totally puzzled.

Only other thing I can think of is to disable the VIIC41 Player Sub if you are using it.

Failing that I'd try reinstalling the game after performing a registry clean.

That submarine is like a peacock you got a let it fly!

Alright a full desinstall/reinstall seemed to work. I hate that it had to come to that, but it seems to have fixed the mysterious sinking problem. Thanks again for the help.
