Default Odd behaviour

Just this morning I was faced with another strange occurrence when playing SH4. After a successful encounter in the Celebes Sea, I returned to a refit point to … well, refit and as usual, I first refit, then selected the torpedoes to be loaded (and they appeared as grey/semi-transparent for reloading as they should) and then refit again, to have a full complement on board.

With a full tank and 24 fish, I then went out to sea again, the sunshine fills my hair and dreams hang in the air… Anyway. We have to dive and surface from time to time, no battle stations and no silent running. Then we encounter our next victims and when I want to set up the torpedoes, the tubes are still empty! Two days, no "rigged for silent running" and still nothing loaded!

Then I tried diving to check for "silent running", switch it on and off, surface, etc. and still nothing happens. What am I doing wrong???

Can't say I'm at all familiar with the Steam download, but from what I'm read from other posts about the Steam download the version of SH4 it is v.1.3. I would check the version of the game you have (can be found on the main screen, lower right-hand corner). If it is v.1.3 I would suggest that you update the game to at least v.1.4. The v.1.4 patch can be found here.

This might solve your problem.

I have the Direct2Drive version (1.4 patch) and have had that too, so nothing to do with STEAM. No idea about cause, but now I make sure to save before entering port to refit, then wait a minute or so for progress to indicate the start of the load before clicking the refit anchor again. Then time compression and wait for all tubes to be loaded before saving again. Best I recall the first time I had the glitch I had saved and exited before the tubes were loaded, and when I reloaded the save I got that glitch.

Default Problem gone

Thanks. After turning the computer off and then starting everything fresh the problem has disappeared.

My version seems to be 1.5, bye the way.
