End Patrol button after Total Germany complete, broken :S

Baleur · 03-13-10, 04:04 AM

Well, yeah. Happy that i finally ended the first campaign, sent a status report, went back to the sub base, clicked Dock, hit End Patrol.... Nothing.
So i clicked it again, and again, and used time compression a few hours, then clicked again.
Nothing.

And no, i'm not using a pirated version

I had that too...I believe that it is on the 15th of June, or 20th, that the nect campaign starts. If you are in patrol then, the mission screen will pop up telling you that you will start the next campaign "Happy Times".

I had the same problem last night.... hit end patrol in Kiel and nothing.... couldnt get it to end.... so I just turned it off. Looks like another bug!!!

Amonx69 · 03-13-10, 05:35 AM

i think you have to not sent a status report, i remember the first SH4 bug that was in exactly same way, just complete the mission and return to kiel.
Hope this help.

Hello Amonx69,
welcome to Subsim !

And i guess you are right, send a status report, and THEN return to Kiel.

Happened to me in Kiel but I noticed I'd moved port to Wilhelmshaven without Bdu telling me, look for the blue sub symbol.

Yea, when they swapped ports on me,(without me having a clue) it took a while to figgure out. Nearly ran out of fuel trying to get where I was supposed to be!

That's one of the many pieces of info that would have been helpfull to know up front.

Have noticed port changes dont appear to be info that gets relayed to you
You are only in Kiel for a few weeks and then move to Wilhelmshaven
I only managed one patrol before moving depends on time at sea

Base has changed to - would be nice though
Messages are few and far between ingame apart from when you send one or patrol area changes havent seen any

I had the same problem: after June 1940 I could not select any more missions. The cause was probably a corrupted save game (wasn't the DRM thing supposed to prevent this

). I rolled back to an earlier patrol and started from there. This time it worked (I got the "campaign complete - you won u-points or something" message) and could select the Happy Times after I got back to base.

Barosx2 · 03-13-10, 07:07 PM

Yes, got moved to a new port..No-one told me, just fortuate to notice a big blue sub icon.

Also seems I have a medal 2nd class..Not sure when I got that..there was no fanfare or message..Mmmmm

mikelcz · 04-14-10, 01:34 PM

I have the same problem. I have fullfilled all missions (8 valuepoints) and I wanted to dock. It was imposible. So I reloaded game and docking was ok, but I cannot end TOTAL GERMANY. Im now at Lorient its 20 October and no missions no HAPPY TIMES. So I start load old save (12/1939) and it is now the same !! Can you help me, pls?

Total Germany has four missions. Three of them you can start right away. The fourth becomes available in March 1940. The campaign ends in June.

If you've somehow made it to October 1940 without getting dumped to Happy Times, you're probably horribly broken. If it's only October 1939 you just slow down, and patrol around and do stuff till you finish Operation Whateverbung.
