Sonar Dial Stuck at 000

Did you by chance leave the game paused for any length of time. I've had this and other issues (CO2 bug) but only after lengthy pauses.

If I'm afk for any reason now I always save and reload upon return.

Hmmm, I had the same thing last night with latest TMO recompiled with all the service packs. No long pauses.

Nope...no long pauses to speak of. I wonder why pausing would cause the problem. I'll remember not to do that if it is the culprit.

or....is the sonar possibly damaged?

I dont' think it's damaged. Sonar works fine as you can rotate it around and hear ships and the green light lights up, it's just the 'needle' showing you relative bearing doesn't rotate.

I'll have to start a new patrol later to see if I still get it.

What boat were you using, and did all dials point to 12"o'clock or just the hydrophones?

tedhealy · 04-16-08, 04:49 PM

Just the hydrophone. I was trying out the various environment mods and trying to adjust them so I assumed I screwed it up, but if someone else has it, maybe not.

Boat is a gato.
