Hi there! First of all, thank you in advance for your help.
I am having this bug:
1. Operating System, System spec?
Windows 8 x64 (6.2, 9200)
2. Version of the game ? (DVD, Uplay download, Steam, other ?)
Uplay
3. Confirm that your game is updated to official v1.2.0 version and that the vanilla game works without problems.
When I open the game, at the top left corner it says "The Wolves of Steel v2.2.20" I hope that's the version...

4. If you use any non-TWoS custom mods, remove them, reinstall your game/TWoS completely according to install instruction, start new campaign and make sure that the issue still persist!
I don't have any other mods apart from WoS.

5. Confirm that the Generic Patcher is correctly activated and the snapshot is successfully restored (Install instructions, step 2).
I installed everything correctly, so I guess it's correctly activated. Anyways, I don't know how to check that...

6. Provide a screenshot of your main Silent Hunter 5 installation folder and it's content!

7. JSGME screenshot!

8. Make sure to provide as much details as possible when describing situation where problem/bug/CTD can be observed. What should we do in order to reproduce this issue?
So, I've seen another guy with the same problem as me in this very same thread, but the solution given to him doesn't seem to work with me.

My issue is that when on the TDC, I have all of my data already set up. Now imagine that I want to make sure I hit my target by doing a last moment distance check, or maybe I just want to change to a different target on a convoy: I need to adjust my distance as It's not going to be a 90AoB shot.

So, when I click on the stadimeter so I can select the new distance, all of my dials get messed up (speed, AoB, bearing), so It's impossible for me to make a last moment adjustement or to make several shots on a convoy as all of my data gets deleted and I have to input everything again.

A solution was given: try using the stadimeter while manual TDC is OFF. So I tried it, when that button is red, but it happens the same way as when it's on (gray button).
You can see everything I'm saying on the video I link below.

9. Upload several screenshots and gamesaves on which problem can be observed.

I've uploaded a one minute video on YouTube so you can clearly see the issue.
I just randomly found a DD, I locked it, and made a random firing solution, with random data. You can see that when I select what would be the new distance, all the dials get messed up.

Thank you SO MUCH for your help, I'm sure you will be able to help me!!!!
