What bugs me about Aces of the Deep...

[Jokem]

Two things.
The time compression sometimes tops out at a specific value, even when far away from any convoy. I have ridden all the way back to port with it stuck at 64x, or goofy values such as 112x.
Sometimes for no reason the game just exits the action and goes back to the menu.

I also have the same ecperience with time compression. But have found that if it gets "stuck" like that on some weird compression, if you dive a short while and surface again, it will often work as normal again.


I know that in single missions, if there is no chance of action, the game goes back to menu. Does it do this in campaign as well for you?

I have not found diving and resurfacing has made any difference.

On single missions, it will say something like 'broken contact' and go back to the menu. In campaign mode it will not say anything about 'broken contact' but all of a sudden go back to the menu. I think it is because I press keys too fast.

I just got done playing it and it jumped back to the menu without me pressing any keys.

All of this angst over a game copyrighted 29-years and untold generations of hardware and software ago. And yet AOD still has positive features, which were never included in later U-Boat games. I'm inclined to cut it a bit more slack than some here.

Just $0.02 CAD.

I am not sure the responses here can be categorized as 'Anger' so much as asking for a bug fix.

FYI - I was in the middle of shelling a crippled ship and it exited back to the menu spontaneously.
