Bugs in sh3

Pfew, glad I'm not the only one.

.....we all found that bug on day one...........I bet most of us have blocked their existence from our concious thought by now. I certainly have.

I've actually used some of the crew management buttons in that screen to move people around en masse. Never had a CTD from it, but I tend to avoid them since I learned it was a common problem.

At this point with "no fatigue" on I just fill all the "on duty" compartments and anybody left over goes directly to damage control in case repairs become necessary. I will switch people around to try and get the maximum efficiency I can manage for each station, but nobody's in rest mode in their quarters ever. So I don't really have much use for those buttons anyway.

The crew management commands would be really helpfull if you could customize them a little; most of the stock ones are pretty useless. Good idea that just wasn't implemented well.

For damage control I've always done it the slow way and move each person from source to destination one by one. I can only recall 1 time that I CTD during damage repair - was in a XC or D punishing every Tanker I came across in the Carribean until a DD snuck up behind me and nailed me a couple salvo's from its deck guns and put my in the pain locker. Was able to sort of keep the flooding under control and repair (ended up going into a tanker dock to avoid the DD) eventually something went to far and next thing I'm looking at my wallpaper Other than Alt+Tab on my old computer I haven't had any CTD's caused by the game since.

True. In SH4 they made it just about perfect. I like SH3's management screen better, but in SH4 they take care of themselves.

The funny part is that while they made overall management better in SH4, they made "Man the Guns" worse. In SH3 those commands move people to the guns automatically, starting with qualified gunners. In SH4 the watch shifts rotate automatically, but you have to manually move the gun crew to their slots.

Go figure.

Yeah on top of that the 'external' crew is vulnerable when you are under depthcharge attack. Even though they are supposed to be inside the pressure hull, the game neglects to consider them as such.

@Sgt Raa,

Is your SH3 a newer version without StarForce?

[danzig70]

Oh, I thought this thread was about something else.
