subs are borked

[Mark VII]

Been playing RaverDave for a while, we have stayed on the last official update,V1106i. Last week my laptop died. New laptop, downloaded V1106i from Matrix and installed. Everything seemed fine for the 1st couple of turns . However tonight was looking at my subs and noticed they all seemed to have only two forward torpedo tubes, a few have two aft tubes. Just asked Dave how his subs look.

I already tried reinstalling the update but nothing changed. Have yet to try deleating the whole program and reinstalling.

Any thoughts?

thanks, terry

It sounds like one of you said "yes" to that old official patch that included the OOB update. It included the sub-split tubes model. Some people had problems with the OOB update to games in progress while for others it went fine. BTW, Michael has worked on that and in the Betas he made fixes to that update routine for games in progress.

For you, it sounds like you should go back and look at save games to see when the trouble occurred. You might consider jumping back to the turn before the trouble and then A) make certain you do not accept the OOB update for the game in progress; or B) start running the Beta before you do accept the OOB update.

Sorry for the bad news, but that's what it sounds like to me. Someone else might have better advice.

yes, I do recall saying yes to a question when I installed several days ago.

I just deleated and reinstalled and the issue did not go away. Guess we will be replaying the last week again. thanks

you still should have the same number of tubes, they are only split into twos. Far better experience playing with split tubes as your subs now attack freighters with 2 torps usually while firing 4 or 6 at fat targets.

No, most IJN subs have only two forward tubes and three rounds of ammo, six total torps on board.

Class upgrades will fix that, too bad IJN subs don't have upgrades before 1944. [:)]

I think only solution is to go back and not accept database changes. I was in a same situation once, luckily we had to go back just 3 days.
