Echosounder Issue

[Dee Oh Dee]

I'm failing to get any report from the echosounder when trying to discover my depth under keel. Earlier in the mission it had reported possible damage from an attack (even though I hadn't been attacked), and now it looks like it operates, making a ping, but I get no report on the depth itself, and I swear it used to actually give a message about how deep it was before.

Am I just misremembering things? Just a bug?

Should add that with a full reload it WAS able to fix the problem, but wanted to document it that the Echosounder basically "broke" without any damage in a save, wouldn't get fixed despite an alert about it possibly being damaged.

Small issue, but looks like the classic "Save, Quit, Reload" did manage to fix it... once I was out of combat.

I had the exact same problem once. The officer/crewman would simply walk over to the echosounder, press the button but not report anything. At the same time a few other tasks were also broken. Ordering to surface would just do nothing also switching lights didn't work anymore. And just as with your game save and reload solved it and it never came back.

I can report that I've seen this happen quite a bit, but it seems to mostly be related to either saving and loading while in/near combat, or something to do with the alarm going off.

Every time it happens it does so while I am either saving/loading while attacking a convoy and when my Alarm has either been set off or is off.

In either case, saving, quitting, and reloading the save does seem to fix the problem every time, but it absolutely is not a one-off.

I've also been experiencing this - Unsure whether the link is nearby enemies or the alarm itself, but indeed reloading in these sorts of situations causes most if not all officers to not play voice lines and refuse to report stuff, regardless of station.

I can confirm that I have encountered this several times. I had to personally go to the echo sounder and pinging

[Astaroth]

had a similar problem once, not receiving any feedback from the echosounder... with it came several other things that refused to work till i reloaded... but fun fact, my captain of that (continued) safegame still, even today refuses to give echoseounder feedback... have to manually send some1 else if he decides to go there, when i request for the depth measurement... -.- well at least it works if anyone else uses it though^^

Same here, bug still exist.

Several times now, when i switch camera to follow torpedo or put camera on ship or aircraft, when i go back to sub view character portraits dissapear and UI on top of screen also gone.

Every single time when switching camera from ship back to sub the game is unresponsive for like 5 seconds before i can zoom in again on internal sub view

Yup, I've had the echosounder bug happen many times.

Quick question, you aren't using the Captain to get the reading, are you? Probably a separate issue that the bug you all are discussing, but I've found that any crewman or officer sent to the Echosounder will give a verbal report to the captain, but if the captain does it himself he just pings it and walks off without saying anything. Haven't noticed an indication of a depth when doing it that way.
