Were in no combat threatening condition, no crash situation, just floating waiting for an oncoming ship to become actionable. And still not noticed - ie, no condition Red.
Any help on just what/why this occurs...twice now?

Hi Archive1,

the other easy way to get rid of crew fatigue is to start JSGME and activate _LSH3-2022__NoFatigue-NoSleepCrew.

BlueDuck:
You know as I was drifting off to sleep last night after posting this query I suddenly was aware that although I set Commander to "no crew fatigue" I did not check to see that it was actually "on" or may have been lost somehow in multiple changes.
So, I believe you have settled the question.
Thanks for reminding me...that somehow 'change' creeps into so much of what we do in all sorts of endeavors.

Default Torpedo reload

All:
On Patrol 7 I used 4 bow torpedoes to good effect ....but...
After 4 hours I still had zero loaded and 2 or 3 in reserve although I surface and remained at zero speed in order to reload.
And when I returned to W'lll'haven I still had zero torps in the forward tubes after several hours of travel. I cancelled the remainder of the patrol since I had no functional bow torpedoes to use.
What did I do wrong or where is the program fault?
More importantly, how do we avoid this?

Hi Archive1 sorry to ask this but were you riging for silent running (z key) or if you were transfering external torpedos you can't do that in rough seas or was your bow torpedo crew fatigued or not enough crew in bow torpedo room put a senior officer in there to speed up that process.
Also did you have malfuctions and sabotage checked in options in commander mod.

Default Invalid SH3?

Hello, long time no see here.. it's been a while.
I decided to give SH3 another try after being somewhat let down with any other U Boat sim out there..

I've played LSH and LSH2015, loved them both. Now I wanted to install LSH2022 and when I run the installer it gives me a message saying I do not have a valid SH3.exe (not sure of the exact words).
I purchased the game many years ago, before Steam, so it is (I believe) a Ubisoft version. Ran a completely fresh install, put it in the root of the C: drive like I always did in the past (C:\SHIII).
Any ideas? I can't get past this message to try out the new mod!


Jeff

Blackswan:
Good points. To answer: Not rough seas - quiet: Surfaced and just sat there for a few hours...nada: Not silent running - no reason, no threats: I usually accept the malfunctions but not sabotage keys in Commander: Crew fatigue - usually I do not accept that. Yes, I know, that would in reality be a problem, but in the simulator you have no Chief of Boat to do the rotations, so I do not accept that in Commander. Officer in the torpedo room - actually have no idea, but will check that in the future.
Thanks for the reply.

Hi blackswan40,
I think I have the same issue that Rhodes had (on page 1 of this thread).
Could you share the solution please?
Many thanks

Default New topic

After several patrols I have been presented with the option to advance the 'Qualifications" of several crew members. However, far too often when I select a crew member I get the message "You must complete a patrol...". But all members of the crew have completed 6/7/8 patrols by this time. Dunno why this comes up.
Any answers?

Default Now what?

Tonight I logged onto LSH3 2022 via Commander (as before) and the program loaded but then crashed to desktop. I tried it again several times, no joy. Then I went to a direct load from LSH3 2022 and the same thing happened.
What's going on?
I have done nothing different than before.
Am into the middle of patrol 8 for this period (earlier episodes much later) with no problems.
So now what?

Are you on Windows 10 and just had an update? I am and did, and the Win10 Update re-set my "legacy" apps' settings and properties. Check your SH3.exe Properties page for alteration from Win10, or possibly having to change them yourself...

Probeanie:
Hmmm. Will take a look as you suggest. As for Win 10, yeah, have stayed with the usually reliable version until I'm forced to change. And of course Microsoft merely does its thing whenever it wants. So that may be the problem.
Appreciate the reply.

May I ask another question? The "qualifications" - post patrol: I always get a "You must complete a patrol" msg when I attempt a Qual award, even though 7-8 patrols have been completed and all crew members are eligible. Not anything of urgency but seems strange.

I cannot find any "SH3.exe" file in any LSH3 folder to be able to evaluate.
Can you direct me to better to find what is needed?
I retried both the Commander and the "straight' LSH3 load and both just disappeared after loading.
This is awful!
