• Try to load scen in ANW with PDb
  
  Sample file has been attached for PDb.

In fact the scenario was started and then stopped prior to release so that may also have something to do with it. Many scenario guys do this to achieve some of the results they desire at the start of a scenario. It would probably be best if Freek came in and described what he did when creating the scenario. It could provide some insight as to the problem.

I also know that there's a Mk48 in the water, going for the French task force that's centered in the Bay of Biscay. The problem there is that there's a false contact about where the torpedo originated from but it has no mounts. That is another question I need answered from Freek as the only possible way that the weapon could have gotten there is if a submarine was placed there, it fired the torpedo and then it was deleted. But this is why I need these questions answered because Freek made the scenario.

Anyway, if Freek can come in and answer some of these questions we'd probably get a better handle on the bug.

Freek's on vacation for the moment. So, I hope that I can help answer some of these questions. We worked on it pretty closely. Normally, I'd wait for Freek to drop in, but since you fellows are working hard on a patch, it would be GREAT if this fix could be included.

The situation is as you described it: Scenario was run for a bit in ScenEdit and the torpedo was fired. The False Contact was placed there to spoof the player into evading in the wrong direction; directly at the REAL sub.

No, what I don't know where that torpedo came from. I am not certain if Freek fired the torpedo from the sub in the area and then moved the sub to another location.

IIRC, there was a second sub in the scenario that has since been removed and it is the source of the torpedo.

There are plenty of scenario examples where we have started the game in SE, stopped it, and re-set the timers. No problem in any of those files. I hope that this helps.

What it sounds like is that at some point 3.7 has been involved in the construction of this 3.6.3 scenario. Either one of the beta by mistake or even running in 3.7 perhaps. Mixing up the version in this way during construction produces unstable results. I know I lost a weeks work a couple of months ago.
