Strange Bug-GWX

Zosimus · 06-18-14, 09:43 AM

Well, I started my first patrol from Wilhelmshaven on GWX with 100% realism. The first patrol was completely uneventful. I sailed past several English vessels, reached my coordinates, did my 24-hour patrol and then returned to base. Unfortunately I cannot do a second patrol. I show as "dead." Thoughts?

This sounds similar to a well documented bug in gwx where the war randomly ends. This likes to happen around spring 1941 in my game. You have to change two lines of text in Careers_0.cfg Finished=True to false and Warover=True to false. I think it also needs to be edited in Careers.cfg too.That could be where the problem will be found. Other than that it is probably a scenario where you need to perform a clean reinstall.

I figured it out. Apparently if you manually return to base you live whereas if you just quit out in the North Sea, your only option is "abandon career."

That's 100% realism for you. I have a weather eye on the fuel all the time now, and always an idea of the nearest Cow.
