gameplay settings fubarred

Can't say for certain, but a couple of things come to mind:

1) Starting a new career overwrites the gameplay settings in the options menu. You have to change them in the office before setting out on a patrol.

You nailed it. Thanks! I started a career, went on my first patrol dropping off a spy and never saw a ship(so this is how come people are saying you can't get to 100 tons in TMO? If you don't see any you can't sink 'em). Went back to Midway and refueled and it wasn't until I was trolling for ships in the slot that I realized this. Urge
