Does the crack work with v1.1?

Also, how the hell do you give promotions to your dudes. I goto the awards thing in the barracks, (mind you ive completed around 22 missions now, and almost every mission said I gained awards) but there are no awards or promotions there, and when I click to try to give my crew one anyways, it just says to do a mission!

in your crew window in the base, there is a button on top of the "sailors, pettyofficers, officers" stack, which says like Promotions or something, which opens up 3 new buttons where all of em are =)

Ran into a A1 bomber pilot last night on my first patrol off the coast of Briton, should have gotten a picture of it. Skimming along the surface at around 20:50 and I get an alert from my watch officer planes spotted, get a man to my flak gun, gets the first two planes shot down and I'm thinkin' man this guy's gonna get a medal for this.

Third plane comes buzzing in and drops a bomb right on him. Hull goes from 90% to 60% the sub starts taking on water, listing to the port side, one diesel engine knocked out, batteries damaged. Managed to save the boat and still make it back to port, two crewman dead in total one petty-officer.

Great game.

No fucking shit. And then you drag the badges or the promotion badge to the selected crew member. To bad NO badges of ANY kind are in this window for me. Even though I obviously should have some.

...but I've done a peripheral scan of this thread, and though I've seen it *asked* a few times, I have *not* noticed a response yet: is there a crack available for the update patch? I DO NOT want to know where/how to find it...i.e., not a request - I can find it/get on my own. I've been checking the front page and the groups, but no joy, so I'm just unsure if a crack even exists for it. Sad

I'm *dying* to buy this bugger after reading and re-reading all these wondrous posts, but it'll be another couple weeks before I get paid...until then I'm chompin' at the bit to give this thing a whirl!

I've not seen or heard of a crack personally.

It's perhaps a bug. There are two bugs in fact here - one is that the selection area for one of the medals is very small that you can actually miss it and be fustrated thinking it's not working. Second is that if you get this unable to assign it to your crew members thing - well I fixed that personally by assigning what I could in order top to bottom and then quitting, and loading it again - then it clicking the medal, the player I wanted to assign to (highlighted blue targets only) and drag and drop. It works for me this way. I've not encountered the bug more than once though.

I NEED SOME HELP though Very Happy

I made a mistake in deciding to see whether I could track a long distance task force on my way back from patrol. I'd already sunken four merchants but I had enough torps left for some fun and I hadn't run into a task force yet so I thought what the hell?

So I do all the calculations to determine where it's going to be in so many hours and off I go.

I get to the destination, wait a bit, contacts arriving, periscope depth and begin approach. I manage to set up for one tanker, fire and then suddenly I hear the message 'we've been detected sir...' - okay no problem, fire off another salvo of two (last torps) at another tanker. Crash dive, further, turn away and speed off... right? err... wrong Sad

I now have this task forces' escorts hounding me and I can't get away! Especially fustrating as I sunk those two tankers.

I'm counting around 4 destroyers on my position. What's the best method does anyone know? I can get around 1 minute of stealth before they start pinging me and I'm back to square one.

I was in the same situation that you're in..
But there was only 2 destroyers hunting for me..

This is how it ended for me..
It was very thick fog.. could only see some few meters around me..
I was going flank, at periscope depth, trying to escape...
Then one destroyer, came behind me, hit my tower, my sub flipped something like 150 degrees or something.. it was almost upside-down..
but I got NO damage..
And the destroyer sunk.. Laughing
I acctualy got many screenshots of that "episode" Razz Laughing

And then I see the second one, coming behind me, so I just fired the rear torpedo, and sunk him at that first shoot!

Damn.. I was so fuckin lucky Razz


But I got one question..
How do I know who I have to give medals to?
I only give to some random people..
Am I supposed to give to someone specific?

get that 1 minute of stealth and dive as deep as u can (tough 60-80m should be enugh), then just run in a random direction until ur batteries run out and then do a blow ballast so u get to the surface even with the batteries out, engage disels and run away? Very Happy

I got a question, how are the reload times on later subs (only tried the 1939 subs so far)? are they always like 10-8 minutes, only affected by the crew? Or are some later subs faster with reloading?
Also, how are the torpedo cargo on later subs and which? sounds like some of you have lots of torpedoes, i always run out way too early Sad

...I uninstalled, re-installed, ran the patch and then placed the crack in its place...only to have the bloody game start asking me for a CD Key (from disc 3 yet!?) now!

Fu&k.

Anybody got any ideas *before* I uninstall/reinstall again?

(FYI: unless I got a different NFO than everyone else, mine says NOTHING about any bloody keys.)

well either it's your lucky day or not, i had this prob with an old GTR clonecd version, where even tough i had the real key put in after i reinstalled it wouldnt accept it. perhaps this applies here too.
Do this, uninstall the game, remove any reg entries u can find, run starforce clean, remove any starforce reg entries u find..
Reboot, reinstall.
Should work.

I *know* there's not *supposed* to be a Serial Key....but it's askin' me. "I just report the news, ma'am". Wink

Anyway...this is the "US_EMEA" DVD version, oui?

I tried the plain "US_DVD" version and the update program told me to go pound dirt, so to speak.

mine crashes to desktop just before i get to play when loading a saved game now, typical, 3 minute loadingscreens and then poof Razz

**edit

A question: What does it mean when a crewman has a ! over him in the crew-management window? i didn't read the manual before playing (like always) so i just clicked here and there to try to get them to go into the electric engineroom, they refused for some reason. I have now read the manual but there was no mention what the ! ment, is it that they're tired or something?
Do you have to tell them to sleep and stuff or do they manage that themselves? I took quite a long route to my patrol-area and i was in surface mode all the way there, then a quick dive while stalking a merchant so if they were tired i don't understand why, there should have been plenty of time to rest on the way over there..
