Sonar using DC 1.1

So installed the patch..and it seems like my sonar has stopped working. Active no longer works, no pings in any setting. Just..water noise. Any hints?

I have that problem, but with some twiddling, the Sonar does in fact work. I can't describe how I fix it much better then twiddling stuff, because I'm not quite sure what makes it work... What I usually do is change the settings around a bit, active/passive, auto/manual, etc., go to another station, sometimes bump into TC for a few seconds, and return to sonar. If it dosn't work, try again...

I think it's fair to say that anyone who has played DC ,patched to 1.1 ,has had this happen to them before.

Futhermore,the active sonar bug always seemed to occur when you had the greatest need for your active sonar to function correctly.

Changing stations until the active sonar pings again was the only way to get it working again,if I remember correctly.
