This is what happened to me. Said to put it in 2nd gear and the game would not continue on.

Been a while, but Picked up Uboat after reading comments here while lurking one day. Must say that am impressed so far. Completed the tutorial with no issues and really looking forward to playing some more.

Really impressed with the atmosphere and mechanics, yes it’s a little different than SH but in this case I think the difference is a good thing.

Just to manage expectations, this is a VERY big HOT mess... But it's got loads of potential. You'll realize once you learn its quoks that you probably have never been able to complete 1.5 missions without a game breaking bug and a faulty save file...

So just be prepared, this isn't an EA, it's WAY sooner than an EA should be but I'm rooting for the developer on this one. Takes some serious guts to execute on such an unique gameplay style is a niche genera. But the 2 steps forward, 3 steps back has been each patch since release.

What are you seeing? I've done 4 missions today and with the exception that the small helper crew portraits are missing, didn't see anything odd.
