All instruments stuck at 12 O'clock

I've been having the same problem lately. I believe it is one of those odd glitches which depend on the conditions you saved under; such as the weather, ships near, etc. It clears up at the start of a new patrol, but I don't know if there is any way to fix it during a patrol.

No way of changing it during a patrol. Not sure what causes it but I found a fix somehwhere and haven't had a problem since. I think it was on Terrapins UBRS site.

The above posters gave me the clue and I have now identified the problem. Saving *immediately* after receiving damage nearly always causes the problem, and nothing will fix it until I dock.

Not a big problem but it does mean I have to rely 100% on hydrphone and radar men doing their job, in fact AI wise they are not effected by the fault, the game does not appear to recognise the problem at all.

Interesting find. I have not experienced this because I do not save during game play. Only upon shutting down the game. Everyone does state that saving should not be done while submerged or with warships in your vicinity. This has been know to mess things up.

Guys, that's really old story (back spring '95). Check this thread.

In brief, the presence of certain AI uboots on the map generates this issue.

Hope this helps.

I encountered the same situation. When I set out on another patrol everything was Ok.
I do save alot as I find the new motion of the boat makes me whezzy LOL.

I remeber exactly the same situation, after CA's Uboat Instrument Patch v1
installation. Strange.
