Why does this happen???
My SH3 savegame has just gone and decided to corrupt itself!!!!
I tried loading SH3 commander and it says "invalid argument code", the message came up after I last exited SH3. I've lost my career now because of this!!! has this happend to anyone else? |

I'm having a problem with savegames too. When I save during the mission and exit the program. The saved games are gone when when I return.

I recently lost a career that had ended after about 10 missions. Tried to open it in commander (to check the total tonnage sunk) which I had done previously, and it was gone. Wierd.

I always do regular copy/paste backups of my career files in a spare folder. If anything happens to my saved games, all I have to do is roll back SHIIC and put them back.

'Cause you've enlisted a man called Bernard. Fire him and you'll be free from the problem :rotfl:

Unfortunatelly saved games do get AWOL some times. It's not very common but when it happens it's a real pain. I had the same problem some time ago as well. The only solution is to keep backups or to start a new career.

If you can still see the save folder (name included) try removing it and adding the letter 'x' then add the folder again...that sometimes works :hmm:

Which folder do you back up to preserve the game saves and where is it?
Thanks! |

The specific files to backup are in the SHIII game folders in 'my documents'. SHIII-cfg-careers. Backup your named career files.
