Periscope depth/Crash dive won't work

Well, ended up doing a 2nd install applying patch 1.1 then 1.2 and everything seems to be working alright except the crash to desktop after sinking half a convoy

I've mentioned this in a few other posts about reinstalling this game.
After uninstalling, check your registry, uninstalling does NOT remove
all the registry files of SH4. You need to delete them as well for a
total CLEAN reinstall. I say this from first-hand experience cause it
happened to me already, not exactly those bugs but some others
just as bad....

Yeah I do that from time to time depending on the error I get. This was just about commands in-game though so I didn't clean my registry and random crashes happen so I ignored that one. Guess it paid off anyway. Found a convoy of 2 battle ships with 1 18.000 ton something in the middle for my 2nd assignment. 1 kill = Complete

I must admit that my first post was not really needed, I should know better and I know mods can break things. Ohh well, did some digging right after that and voila, works to my satisfaction. I do admire the fast response here though, that was really nice

Most importantly you have it working and you're almost there. Now, with all uninstalls, deleting and banging your head on the desk, clean up the hard drive and defrag. This should ease you CTD pain. Sounds like the convoy under high demand on the old computer created that CTD. Defrag should help you on this. Sure helped me! Happy sailing Skipper
