As I know of.. hitting that hot key, ''P'' is by all rights, supposed to submerge your uboat to periscope depth... that is, unless you have external torps, being moved from their storage racks outside the sub.. & have or are using h.sie's patch, which does include in it, if that is going on.. your NOT diving until the torp in progress is completely in the can aka ''sub''.

Without details, such as if you're running SH3 stock, have mods added in, is not much to go on... & what I've outlined, is applicable if you are in fact, using mods.. even patches such as h.sie's count... in the long haul here...

Hopefully, this info helps...

Hmm... Odd... as I have a GWX mod version that I am using & not having any issues with diving when the ''P'' key is used...

See of hitting 'tasks' in the center of your jsgme, select export & chose to clipboard, I think it is.. that should allow you to then paste that in as a reply.. so that Myself, as well as others can see what your mod soup mix is.. & possibly pin down what could be causing you the issues your facing, if you would Fbach556

The more details there are, will help in pinning the issue down.

Hi Fbatch556 a screen shot of your activated mods in JSGME would help us to help you

Hmm... Maybe try using those mods that are GWX, in the mix, as being activated 1st... with the SH4 effects, then the lifeboats, firs. then see how that goes... then add in the ASN mod test that.. then followed up by the torp damages mod, lastly... testing SH3, with each step of adding in mods, after activating the main GWX mods altogether 1stly..

With the GWX mods themselves... as far as I know of.. shouldn't be causing you issues.

So, that leaves either the rest of the mods not being in a certain order to work right.. or is 1 of those left, that are NOT GWX mods.. causing the issue.

1 other thing I can think of here.. is did you have some other mod, added in, then taken out... If so, did you delete & reset up SH3 options in game, in a 1st run after doing a delete of the save game folder.?

Not doing that, after removing out a mod, can & will cause issues.. that much I do know from what I've seen of others reporting various issues after removing a mod & not deleting the game save folder.

Hi Fbach556 let us know how you get on with your SH3/GWX Mod Tweaking
and testing M M and me should be able to get you sorted Sir.


no worries just deactivate all mods install the 4Gig patch and the Commander mod config then just run GWX from the SH3 Exe see if it works add mods one at a time and test to see if SH3/GWX runs but only have one damage mod active then if all goes well then run the commander mod see if you can start or continue your career. let us know how you get on Sir


its 3.43 am in Limeyville in uk im off to bed but ill be around Saturday from 10:30am ill touch base with you on Saturday.


Problems no such thing just solutions all the Mod Guru's on Subsim are all experts at breaking things then fixing them


ok fella im on my way to dicord
