Before that I had to patrol in a 30 km zone near the sticker. I did it for 72 hours without completion.
For this new mission I patrolled both AM 4 and AM 5 for 48 hours each respectively each. No completion.

I had it complete after engaging a convoy nearby and sinking a ship sometime after. But my game crashed and the save wouldnt load.
Now I cant get it completed anymore and low on fuel and no more torpedoes so heading to base anyways.


Any insight on how to complete patrol objectives?


Thank you

About the objectives, trust the arrow which points in what place to patrol instead of the mission text. It is misaligned . Most of the time patrol objectives completes when you sink 7000 tonnage or 10000. I would like to rework the missions a bit but sadly I don't have much time now for over 1000 patrol objectives. About the crashes. Install the hotfix patch 1.4.1 after you return to base. Maybe it will fix the CTD issues. When nearing port reduce your time compression to 128 or 64. And I reccomend doing a save around 150 km from the port when returning from patrol. I am investigating why ports crashes the game I suspect it's the sub pens. They eat up computer resources.

Thanks for the help! Any idea why my game saves keep getting corrupted after I attack that convoy/ finish my patrol grid? And I figure there are no ways to get a save that crashes to not crash anymore?

This problem is weird to me. I don't think I have ever encountered corrupt save files in KSD II. Do you save the game while the ship is surfaced? Do you use gramophone or radio during patrol or when saving? Do you use ALT+TAB keybind to switch between sh4 and other applications? Also did you installed/disabled mods while being on patrol? For example. you save the game when your uboat is at let's say AM grid. You close the game, disable or enable any mods.

I havent done any of that beside possibly alt tabing. I am not sure. But its odd it happend in the same scenarios, like saves before encountering a convoy works fine, and afterwards I cannot load them.

I will try it again tomorow and let you know.

In anycase i will be more careful on time compression near ports.

I tried again. My save that was working kept crashing as soon as I neared the convoy. I loaded a previous save from 1 hour in game time before. Was working fine until I went to intercept the convoy again. I approached at 40 meters in low time compression, when I went to periscope depth and started getting a firing solution it crashed again.


Its in the AM grid in november 1939 i believe. There is a convoy with a Nelson class battleship.


In my first attempt I could attack it without crashes, but all the saves afterwards were corrupted.



Im thinking of deleting the main folder and the folder in documents and retrying a new campaign and see if Im plagued with those crashes still.

I really really like the interface and the attack periscope.


I also run dark waters with no crashes fyi. But I had that issue previous to getting dark waters.

But maybe the fact I put them in that arrangement below caused it to be more instable?

OS (C: )/ SH4 ATO/ and here the two separate folders)

Just... outta curiosity...

You are, using multiSH4... with your different SH4 mod sets there (namely KSD II: Ace & Oper. Monsun: Dark)... I pray, Yes...???

If not, then that can & could well, cause issues... if they are trying to share the same save folder.

I- I dont.


Issue was prior and ksd as its own save file in documents. I put them far away from each other now
But thank you for mensioning that .. Multish4 thing, it saves me me future headaches for when I jump into us subs
