The problem, cause and solution is simple.

0° 0′ 0″ N, 0° 0′ 0″ W is off the west coast of Africa. You will start in this position if the base coords in your career's save file can not be matched *exactly* to base coords in the game's flotilla + campaign files (in other words, the base no longer exists in that location because it has been moved, removed, or replaced).

The biggest cause of this problem is loading existing careers after making changes to your campaign files (such as installing a mod). For example, attempting to load a career saved in OTS SH3 into a newly installed GWX will most likely result in this problem, assuming no CTD first

.

It's a safe bet that if you experience this problem (it will usually occur with the "based changed" messages), then your career is not compatible with the modded version of SH3 that you are running.

(And before it's asked, no, it's not related to SH3Cmdr - SH3Cmdr does NOT tinker with the location or availability of any flotillas or their associated bases.)
