Does that mean the max depth is 100m? At 96m I have no problems, but I know that u-boats could go to 200m or so if they had to. Is this a bug or is my u-boat perhaps just damaged?
EDIT: Actually I'm experiencing a far more important problem. I can't seem to save. Every time I try to save I get "Save Game Failed". What the hell? It was working an hour ago and now it's not. Nothing I do seems to fix this...
EDIT2: It seems to have been caused by some kind of corruption of the game. I just couldn't save if I ever went below 100m, and I couldn't escape the group of destroyers without going that deep. I just had to load a previous save and not attack the convoy I attacked at all because I just had not hope of escaping without messing up the save file.

I'm pretty sure there's no max dive depth in the mod, I think the default crash dive is actually set to 150m. (I lowered it) I've willingly gone under 150m a bunch of times though and ONCE recovered from being stranded on a ~200m seafloor.
I've also had the "save game failed" issue a few times, and couldn't find anything online that seemed to be a similar issue someone else had. And be warned, if it does happen, don't try to overwrite existing saves as it will corrupt them and they'll get removed. What area were you in when it happened? For me it was doing an eastern British coastal waters patrol. Also whenever it happened I had some other weird things happened: my watch officer and the rest of the watch would never go on deck when I surfaced, wounded crew members would never recover, and I couldn't use the XO's Silent Running ability. ("cannot comply", setting engines to silent running does the same thing BUT it doesn't make the soundguy shut the hell up and stop screaming) I haven't had issues with depth keeping when I get the save error though, though I believe in either/both the TDW Generic Patcher and Options File Editor programs there is something related to a depth keeping bug. Might want to double check that's enabled.
Wish I knew what the deal is with "save game failed", it happened to me a few times during this one patrol which I had to replay a few times. I also was going to try returning to base when I got the bug(s) to see if it would do an enter base autosave but I got a CTD when I got close to the port. I've heard it is best to not save often when on a mission, especially near other traffic, as it causes issues as well as resets the 48 timer for patrols.
