GREAT NEWS!


Just a few more observations made during my 2nd Shake Down Cruise, end 1942/early 1943:


- After having submerged, I still get the crew voices to dive, when selecting Persicsope Depth or another depth.


- Most of the Radio Reports about Uboat successes etc., are incorrect in terms of dates and uboat number.


- When using the marker for setting way points, they are numbered from 1 upward. The numbers are gone, when re-loading a game save (the markers are still there, just without the numbers).


- I noticed a Yellow Arrow pointing upward on the top right corner of a crew member icon. It was there for a while and then gone again. What is this for, please?


- When using Manual targeting, there are 2 light bulb looking icons in the bottom center view, to either side of the vertical line of the periscopes and the UZO. When clicking either one of them, the crosshairs are iluminated. Is this the only function of the light bulb-like icons or is there more to them?


Okay, not knowing if any of my comments here and in the other posts will make it into the new version, I'm sure looking forward to the new release and trying it out ...

The only game crashes I have experienced thus far is when inside a convoy and watching the action in the external view (F12 and ./,) ...

@Niume: I just did experience one game crash:


I was approaching a "Large Convoy" (about 50 ships) South of Cap Verdes, Qu.82EJ, and at about 20km distance from the convoy, the game froze and the message that the game stopped working appeared. This happened three times and a forth time, after a PC re-start and re-adressing the sh4.exe with the LAA patch.


There also was a smaller "Task Force" about 60km away, heading into the same direction, NW.


Then, I tried one last time, and again the game froze for a view seconds at about 20km distance from the convoy (as it usually does, when approaching a convoy), but this time didn't crash. So, I'm now operating on this convoy.


Anyway, there seems to be an issue with in-game loading of large convoys ...


Be glad to test the new patch

Perfect news. Hardly awaiting.

Does anyone else have a periscope sticking up from where the radar detector would be? I just started a campaign with the IXB in 1939 and that scope is sticking up.

Radar detector in 1939?! Do you perhaps mean the rotating Radio Direction Finder ring? If yes, I have not seen what you describe.

I think he is referring to the radio pole antenna. This can be disabled with one of the optional mods via JSGME.

You are correct.

does KSD allow for calling cruisers, etc for support?
i ask because i noticed that special abilities is not enabled for the various Uboats and calling for support is a special ability.

Hi All,

Just had another game crash: Very similar to the one before and reported by someone else:

Submerged inside a large convoy; Depth charged on & off after submerged attack; Almost no external view (maybe once or twice very shortly); In CR view (F2), all of a sudden the game froze and the message that the game stopped working appeared.

This happened again two or three times and is okay now, after a PC re-start and re-adressing the sh4.exe with the LAA patch again.

For the most part, when stopping to play, I merely exit the game to the Main Menue and put the PC in Standby mode. Almost seems like, the game memory is running full and can only be fixed with a PC restart. Could of course, also be a HW topic ...

Its a leftover from the stock game. To my knowledge it is not possible to call in cruisers

The update will be released on sunday or monday

Well, I tried using the mod to remove the pole but the game then locked up on me. The game runs great if I leave it alone but once I add that mod it stops. I tried running it with just that mod and the same things happens.

I think the mod can only be enabled between the missions so you have to be at home base.
