You still won't get the "Trials" correctly - which I am ~really~ close to getting the dates better once again - but you should not get all that funky error stuff. If it still fails, you can restore what you saved to the Save folder. One thing about "transfers" that I think Ubisoft ruined with the v1.4 (??) and v1.5 updates is that you now end up going directly to the transferred-to location to start your next patrol, instead of starting from the original base and traveling there, "working" your way there. You still do not get an appropriate assignment for the new location, but rather something from the original home port. I suppose most folks wanted to be at Brisbane when they transferred, or maybe there was something wrong in the original game "logic". I do seem to remember there being issues with getting the base to change to your home port... maybe... brain is definitely not what it used to be... I'm finishing up on a couple of other things, and I will dive into the New Construction stuff fully next, because that ~has~ to be functioning correctly for a future update... don't want to disclose too much just yet... lol  |
I copied the Save folder, then deleted the saved games via the game interface, and restarted the game to create a new career. My first assignment was to patrol off Miyako, central eastern Honshu (no patrol area name was given). I transferred and started from Brisbane and stopped by Truk on the way north.
We encountered no ships nor planes until the morning after reaching Truk, despite clear weather on the two occasions we checked.
Four ships had gone aground on the eastern shores of the SW island group. The first two torpedoes fired missed ahead and all remaining ones had to be fired at the stern to hit far forward. We surfaced and shelled the CVE Akitsu Maru and the Standard Supply Ship into oblivion; the CL Naka has taken five torpedoes and more than ten 4" AP shells without sinking. The remaining ship was a minor escort.
I saved the game and later attempted to restart the patrol. Both times it CTDed after only a few seconds.
