Just for fun, run SH3 without any mods. Report back what you see. SH3 got the way it is today by some fine modders who took 2 years to create it. Giving the devil his due, see how SH4 is looking in about 12 months. See how the PTO part of SH4 is looking now in just under year. It is very good with the likes of TMO/RFB/ROW/RSRD and others. The add-on has been out for 4 weeks. It will take time to get it up to snuff. Until then, perhaps some help getting there is in order. What can you do to make it better?

Not a single problem! runs smoothly! perfect! loving it! except the anoyin american voices and the damn Dive alarm:huh:

-The camera angle on some of the German AA guns is indeed off, resulting in the rounds not going where the gun is pointed.

-More of a design decision than a bug, but it really looks silly seeing American radar scopes in German submarines.

So helpful!

The German awards are not set up properly. Players can earn the Knight's Cross before the other medals, and in at least one case a player has reported earning the U-boat Front Clasp more than once.

Hi, there is a german "language patch".
So your crew will talk german. Sadly the americans will talk german, too.
But I heard of a modification wich gives you the chance to enable this language pack via JSGME like a normal mod.

May be I'll search for it later on.

Your'e welcome.:up:

I have been playing sub sims since the first Silent Service by Microprose. I don't need you to tell me what to do or what I should look for. I have purchased (thats purchased) every sub game on the day of their release since the mid 80's.:nope: I know all about the great work the modders do, and I am eternally grateful. But I tell the truth here, the U-Boat addon is rubbish straight out of the box. Thats all I'm saying. Trying to belittle me bacause you have some sort of self importance as a long standing member, won't wash with me. I have been a member of Combatsim, and various others like frugals since they started. I don't have time to mod or post on here because I am a serving member of the UK Armed Forces.:damn: :up:

Thanks for your advice though.

Right, in a thread about reporting bugs, your post about the add-on being rubbish and going back to SH3 was just soooo helpful in letting the devs know what issues need attention.

Is that what they teach you in the UK armed forces, to report information that's irrelevant to the situation at hand?

Sounds like the PR department of any army(or any other governmental institution or huge company for that matter) :D

I believe I had stated earlier in this thread exactly what problems and bugs I was encountering. Please dont take anything I say personally, as I dont mean to upset any of you. It's not a matter of life and death chaps. I'll be seeing you all another time, as this is getting rather surreal. It's only a game.:roll:

After 6 day of playing and testing addon U-boota, I can tell that it is a crap :(.
- A lots of sound bug, like jamming sounds, hydrophone sometimes dont hear a sounds, ( i was 2 times sunked by a ship which i don hear), Sound in UbootIXd2 is buged, engine in front, water sound beck, enemy destroyer come from right i hear him from left side.
Some sounds sometimes aren't played. like when you dive, or go down to periscope deeph.
- a lots of missing textures for, ships, guns on ships, or planes.
- missing textures from gauges in U-boot.
- Some ships don't have engine sounds.
- german ships are not really a german but english or japs, like destroyer or schnellboot
- In u-boot addon we have a 3 sailors on tower, really was 4.
- reloading external torpedoes underwater :)
- crosshair in 20mm AAguns id in wrong position.
- Only IXD2 uboot like there was no IXB, IXC. No milk cows.
- Flaying ships in storm weather.
- Convoys are almost the same, same ships, same numbers of ships, go almost the same path, and without escort. It's like shooting to ducks.
- stupid warning icons.
- Ubi add something like Battles on see. We can call for a support and we can see battles TF vs TF or Ships Vvs ships, but they don't create any AI scripts for that. Ship just go straight.
- and a lot of other stupid bugs.

In my opinion Ubi do this addon because ppl dont bay a SH4. a lot of ppl still play SH3. Why? because ppl (we) prefer a U-boots, and we got a supermods. They (ubi) try to do something and thay do a crap. Game which is boring, for me its more like shooter not a simulation. We will have to wait for rally good mods like GWX, WAC or NYGM for SH4, without supermods this game will be only a boring shooter.

I rally glade that i have a SH3 with GWX2.0, and OLC staff. Thx GWX team and onelifecrisis for a rally good staff.
SO starting a SH3 and take orders for a new patrol . GRID AM18. :)

I'm having many problems.

1. The game CTDs randomly and often, I havent even been able to fire a single torp since getting the add on.

2. Sub gets "stuck" in ports. The engines just wont work.

3. HUGE drop in fps and there isnt anyone thats gonna convince me its cause I dont have the specs. This computer is MORE then a match for this games requirments.

As a side I'm also getting the no eyes thing and see through crew but I can live with that.

Sorry guys, my upgrade is working fine. The new interface is really great. There are actually Warships in the harbors and docks now along with T3 Tankers.

I'm a happy camper......

Whats wrong or missing.
 

I bought the U-Boat Missions and I like it so far. I can't believe the major errors in this. The majority have been mentioned. Here's what I've seen wrong.

1.) When you choose a depth, it's about 2 or 3 meters short then what you picked.
2.) My fuel tank levels don't decrease when on patrol.
3.) FuMO-30 radar doesn't retract when submerged. You can see it under water.
4.) I get the creepy missing eyeballs (conning crew) and during certain weather conditions, they're see through.
5.) Everyone speaks English! How could they get that wrong?:doh:
6.) Same with COMSUBPAC sending me messages!:doh:
7.) The KDB hydrophone is in the wrong place, it rotates through the hatch. It should be about a meter forward away from the hatch. I also get the hydrophone contacts while on the surface.

Lets see what else is wrong.

This bug, come back all the time.
 

Not only 1.5. I saw that all the time, doesn`t matter, 1.3, or 1.4. In SH3 too, rough sea for example.

annoying graphical bug
 

Hi, Due to see an ugly ball in the sky of SH4, I have decided to upgrade my graphic card from ATI X1900XT to a NVIDIA 8800GT...

But what my dispointment when I see the same problem with my new card...

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...021150_875.jpg

I don't speak English very well but believe me, first I was: http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common...s/icon_eek.gif and http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common...s/icon_mad.gif so http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/compsmash.gif...

So I decided to use the nvidia control panel and disable some settings by chance. I succed to see a beautiful sun when I have put the AA setting on "let the application choose" but unfortunatly I loose the AA effect... I let you see:

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...021207_515.jpg

Is there any setting wich allow me to have the both effects on, with my graphic card?... At least It seems AA doesn't works (again) with 1.5 version.

Another "bug" wich appear again since 1.5: I can see white lines around the sub or the ship at the limit between water and hull. This ugly things disapear when I switch off the setting "realistic waves" or "3D wake" (or something like that... sorry for translation!) It is a shame cause this trouble disapear with 1.4 patch.

Maltro, I will have the same issue as you with my 8600GT if I have Gamma Correction on. Try turning off gamma correction within your nVidia drivers.

This is truely a bug and has been mentioned

Thanks for your reply Syxx, I have tried to disable gamma correction in nvidia control panel and sun glare works even if I choose "Improve application parameter" :) but then there is no AA in game. :damn: If I choose "replace application parameter", sun glare disapear again... but AA is on.

Does the both effects works for you? :o If it works, could you give me what is your settings on nvidia control panel ? and what is your driver version please? I have got the last (169.21). :cry:
