I've been reading about other players encountering the issue related to sinking merchant ships within the designated patrol areas and the tonnage bar not recording.
Many posts indicate the reason being that Advanced options were enabled by using TDW's Generic Patcher.
I'm experiencing the same issue with the tonnage bar (Black Pit and Turning Point) and I don't see the related Advanced options as being enabled in my Patcher instance. All Advanced options are disabled ...
Any ideas what else might be causing this problem?
Thanks for your advise.
