"... possible bug/repair crews seem broken..."

They work fine if you understand how to use them properly. Read the threads on this topic.

In 6 days of play (between 4 and 10 hours a day) I have not had one CTD except the ONE time I hit the A key.

This probably isn't a bug, but the eyes of the crew always look at the camera. I always seem to catch the radio and sonar operators looking at me out of the corner of their eyes. I know I'm the object of their fear and adoration but i'm starting to feel skitzo...

I noticed that too.I was on the deck and I decided to look through my binoculars and as I did a 180 I noticed the watchman behind me looking at me out of the corner of his eye while he had his binoculars up.It kind of creeped me out.

All crewmembers have eyes turned toward the player. SH3 had this also.

I have narrowed down the all crew die when restoring save bug.
The problem is the crew health is getting reduced by a certain amount if the game is saved within 10 minutes of the watch change (which occurs at 00, 04, 08, 12, 16, 20 hours, eveyone knows that right?)

Things you can do to mitigate the problem for now:

Don't save between 5 minutes before and 10 minutes after the changeover time.

Don't let your crew health get too low before the save. Submerge during storms, don't let the air run out, etc. You should be extra careful about crew that get 80% or more tired.

If you still get a load with low crew health (check that 1st thing when you restore by clicking sort by health) drag a healthy crew into the current watch. If possible, it should not be a crew AHEAD in the rotation order (crews change in order of I, II, III, I, etc.) This is because the NEXT crew in watch is only 4 hours away. Dragging a tired crew ahead means they may die when they take the next watch.

Glad that you too noticed this, as I posted elsewhere on the forums about it, I was not sure it was a bug hence posting about it elsewhere, but now you and another chap have mentioned it, it must be a bug of sorts.

Are you sure it's a big ? :hmm: Could it not be the way you dress ?

skullman86 · 03-28-07, 12:58 AM

I dunno, if they work then they aren't very useful (maybe it's more realistic this way).I tried repairing a slightly damaged hull (very minimal damage, tiny red bar) had them activated, had a fairly decent crew, I had sounded everyone to stations and the hull was set to priority.I was surfaced and I decided to speed up the game to fix it faster and it took forever to fix, over an hour in compressed time, same thing for the flooding.Now If that is how it is supposed to work then fine but I am used to SH3 where it gets fixed before you actually sink to your death :rotfl:

Yes, repair times take a lot longer in SH4 than the magical and instantaneous repairs we had in SH3....

ReM · 03-28-07, 02:38 PM

I don't know if this was reported before, but whenever i get medals afeter my 1st patrol the game says:

Medals awarded after you 0th patrol.....

The counting starts at o while it should start at 1......

If already reported ignore, if not, this can be switched to the bug thread because it have reproduced it here three times now.

DCFluX · 03-29-07, 10:44 AM

Zooming into to the map too close results in loosing the land features for me. Ships, city names and the bases still apear fine, just no longer have any shore line. Paticularly a problem when trying to sink the Yamato in Hiroshima harbor, can't zoom in enough to plot a course and frequently run aground.

Jace11 · 03-29-07, 12:41 PM

Viewing angle of the 5 inch gun is crazy... it is one of the later upgrades (1945) for the Balao class and you sit "upside down in it" yeah right...!!!

Condor96 · 03-31-07, 07:48 PM

please read my original post in SH4 forum

ccruner13 · 03-31-07, 09:21 PM

interesting the japs would harbor their carriers in an enemy port

mm and i jsut had stadimeter ctd possibly because i tried to use it but forgot to id the ship first?

I had this too. CTD when using the stadimeter on an unidentified target. I remember this because I could not find the right ship type in the recognition manual.

When surfacing, I sometimes get messages like "out of oxygen, we need to surface" even though the oxygen meter shows plenty (I'd only been submerged for 30 mins game time, no damage).

Cougar_DK · 04-02-07, 04:07 AM

I did't see this mentioned at the first post so here is a little thing I found yester day... I't seems that I somehow gets magically re-armed with forward torps even though I have no in stock....?

I have a savegame if any wants to see it.... couldn't figure out how to find the correct save game folder....
