this is a SWAG on my part but it is definitely a possibility.

Oh, I hadn't thought about New London no longer my home base and is just a refueling stop on the way to PH.

Well all of the ports along the way have anchors, there is not a big star with anchor or what not. I'd just hate to go all the way to PH and find out that I can't end my patrol. Only one way to find out.


If I knew where the issue was, I could attempt to fix it.

i applaud your homework, Herr Kaleun!!
but those are not the relevant dates.

just reload the saved mission and scroll over to the Pacific and look at all of the base icons for a fouled anchor at an angle.

i think your home base was moved to the Pacific. it's a SWAG but i still think it.

SOLVED



Of all of the places it's back at the sub base in Scotland, where I did not expect it to be. The orders say go to New London and then proceed to PH.

I'll either go to go back to Scotland and see what happens or just start another SubRon 50 career later.

that's excellent news. glad you were able to resolve it.
i have not played Subron 50.
if you followed the path from Scotland to New London to Pearl, would you expect to have a regular TMO_BH Pacific career from that point forward?

I believe so. I looked at the next mission (ie: part 2) and it was to head to PH via Panama Canal with 12 hour updates enroute.

I tried restarting a new SubRon 50 career and kept getting CTD when I clicked the map. Happened several times. Thinking that maybe SH4 got corrupted somehow, I reinstalled and then added back only the required mods. Still CTD when I click the map.

I was having this problem before, but I can't remember what I did to fix it. Oh well, guess I'll just do the Pacific for awhile and come back to SubRon 50 later.

i've seen this behavior before....i think it was when I (we) were working on new/revised missions. there is a good possibility that the mission you were assigned is bad, for some reason. "bad" meaning that it has something terminally wrong with it. you might want to send the mission ID and your career details (date, base, etc) to BH. He might be able to determine the root cause and fix it.

That's what I was thinking also. I think that is what happened last time and I just kept deleting the save and restarting until I got one that didn't CTD.

Edit.....


I restarted a new SubRon 50 career and it loaded this time. If I see correctly there are 2 Operation Torch scenarios that start the patrol. Looks like I was getting the mission to verify a minefield. The other mission to photo landing beaches loaded fine and that is what I got last time. The only issue with this mission is, most of the time I get no indication that the picture was taken successfully not matter how many times I click the camera icon. Sometimes it's in the photo folder in the data folder. I think I mentioned this to BH last time and he is going to look into it.

[Captain Wreckless]

Found this Wasp Class CV stopped @ 39°43'N 39°32'W or 900nm W of the Azores. Must be waiting for the rest of the invasion force for Operation Torch.

I have had that happen a few times to me and only fix I found was restart the last mission from your office. Had it happen last night even, Had to go to Japan and skulk around then come home. Saved when out to sea but close to Pearl. Next mission CTD when clicking the map. Went back in and after duplication loaded the save from out to sea and even when I got back CTD when clickling on the map. Tried restarting from clicking on the map for the previous mission (I save each) and after I came back it didn't CTD and I had a new mission to patrol north of Pearl.

I am wondering what this dim needle on the depth gauge is (at the mouse pointer). It is not always there, but when it is, it is a previous depth setting.

Is this something that is a part of TMO and I can set so I can have them standardly go to that depth?

You at one point went to 122ft. Nothing to worry about. It comes and goes. Doesn't affect the game any.

Grrrrrrrr!!!! Perfect setup and shot at the ex-USS Luzon. Just before the fish hit, CTD!!!

Culprit was that darn Sound.act file. I was using the external view when it happened. I like watching from God's eye view. Next time I'll watch from periscope and see if it happens.

I've been having some CTD happened just as I was shooting at jap carriers north of Pearl. Thought that was strange, restarted mission. and each time I'd fire or sometimes just looking through the scope it would ctd

I betcha that the culprit was the Sound.act file also. After the CTD, open Event Viewer, then Windows Logs/Application you'll see Error and it will tell you what CTD.

[Captain Wreckless]

Just as the torpedo hit, another CTD because of Sound.act. Third in a row. Going to be difficult completing a career if this keeps up. Sure wish I could find a program that would let me open the file and look at it. But everyone that I've found that advertised it could open/edit .act file was bogus.
