Hey guys! I'm new to the game, Im playing SH3. This is my first real playthrough after a loooot of tutorials, and I thought I was really understanding what I was doing. Anyway, Im chasing a ship with my Hydrophone with horrible weather, im really close to it, but im waiting the night because I can't see anything. The thing is, the moment I load the game I can hear my hydrophone perfectly, but, after a while my SO stops reporting any sounds (even tho the ship was at short range one second ago) and when I go to the hydrophone myself, instead of the ship, I hear whales (the notebook next to the hydrophone still says "merchant"). If I save and load again it all goes back to normal.

So I was wondering if this is a known bug and how to fix it, its really killing the game for me, I stopped playing because I can't spend an ingame hour before the hydrophone stops working.

Im only using GWX mod and ARB wide GUI.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, what you hear from the hydrophone are not whales, these are the sounds of a sinking ship

Oh thanks for the clarification, but why is the sound changing??? First it was the sinking ship and then the merchant again, this is happening a lot btw, not only with this ship. I've been chasing this ship for hours, and the sound changes, first I hear the merchant and then the sinking ship, I reload, and then again good ol' merchant

The ship was probably hit and sunk

What is the weather like ? press ctrl+w to find out usually in rough seas the ship will bounce up and down due to the high waves and you hear these sinking noises, Dont let it fool you stalk him and send him to the bottom
