Hi Spectre-63,

did you run the 4GB-Patch-EXE?
I guess you have W7/64 - so you do not need to do the bcdedit.

Try deactivating the WS-patch and then restart!

Yes, the exe has had the 4GB patch applied. I'll see what I can do about removing the widescreen patch. Considering that I'm on a 2560x1440 monitor, running without that could prove problematic.

Just as a test - then we can try to find the right settings for WS!

EDIT:
You will have to edit d3d9.cfg in your MODs-folder in _DX9HiResFix with an Texteditor.

Set
resX=1360
resY=768

Then enable the _DX9HiResFix and start the game.

I was wondering, why is it that you can't select any emblem but the flotilla emblems when starting a career? Also, how do you start a career anywhere else but Erprobungsstelle?

[Spectre-63]

Got it running, but ran into another oddity: during the middle of my first mission I was told to transfer to another base, but when I try and complete a transfer it says I'm transferred to base <none>

[Spectre-63]

Looks like I spoke too soon....started a new career with the 7th launching out of Kiel and got a CTD before I made it out of the harbor.

Hello J0313,

well in our opinion a "new Kaleun" did not "deserve" to have its own emblem. You will have to have a renown of 3500 or higher to be able to get your own emblem.
When Starting in Erprobungsstelle, sink the two targets to complete the testing of your new boat and crew. Then transfer to a front-flotilla, start your first trip and when you return with a good result you will be able to get your desired emblem.

Choose another year than 1939 and there will be other flotillas available where you can start immediately.
But be aware: new u-boats will only be available at the Erprobungsstelle!
All the equipment will be available at the front-flotillas.

Regards
Blueduck

Hello Spectre-63,

this is a known issue in SH3.
When the small window pops up "New base xyz", SH3 itself still does not know your new destination base (see F8-Details).

Save and quit the game asap and reload this saved game.
Then your destination base will have changed to the new base and you can end your trip there (again see F8-Details)!

Hello Spectre-63,

change the SLS-MODs like this:

_LSH3_V5.1_SLS_Spezialeffekte-Gross
_LSH3_V5.1_SLS_Sinkverhalten-SH3

But this would not be the matter.

Please try a career-start at one of the french bases!

Regards
Blueduck

PS: Are you sure you have W7/64bit installed?

[Spectre-63]

Blueduck -

Yes, I'm sure I have Windows 7/64 installed.

Which French base would you like me to start at?

sorry to ask for this, but your report lead me to a 32bit-OS with no bcdedit done.

Any base is is good but Kiel and WHV - these are the largest harbours in game (as a base).

Unfortunately, this means I'll be unable to start in 1939. It almost acts as if there is a corrupted object in the Kiel harbor as it crashes pretty consistently part way out of the harbor.

Given my frustration level, I may simply return to stock.

I have been starting in Erprobungsstelle every time testing the Campaign. There are no target ships that I know of. I just get ordered to patrol a grid in AO and thats it. Also I am running it through SH3 Commander and even when I try and start a Campaign after 1939 in a front flotilla it doesnt give me a joice of U-boat type. The drop down menu is blank for both the type and boat number. I have installed your files for Commander per instructions and also the mod order is correct per the mod manuel.
