SH3 Cmdr problem

[Morts]

i was just going too start up SH3 (GWX) via SH3 commander when i noticed that i couldn press the "launch SH3 button":down:
i havent modifyed SH3 or anything what could be wrong ?

[melnibonian]

That's odd. Are you sure your SH3Cmd is looking at the correct directory (i.e. do you have multiple installations?)

[Morts]

yea

and i havent got multi install:-?

[melnibonian]

OK I see the problem now. Your captain is dead so you cannot load him up again. Why don't you try generating a new career and see if you can lunch GWX. If you cannot then we have a problem. If you can then it's because your guy has left us that you cannot fire up GWX;)

Well, the answer is deceptively simple...

You are dead.

It shows you were 'lost at sea' and therefore it will not go any further...

You can get out of that by going into the regular game, loading a save before it...finishing out that patrol, and then it should let you back in.

UNLESS you have never really started a career...and as I recall, you have to do something before you can use it...

NealT:yep:

[Morts]

it did not work on a live career:shifty:
this has happend to me before
*edit*

hmm....now it does work:hmm:

[melnibonian]

OK then let's take it from the beginig:
1. Did you installed any mods while you were at sea?
2. Did you installed any mod without rolling back SH3Cmd?

If both answers are no I would suggest to uninstall SH3Cmd, reinstall it and try again.

[Morts]

no
no

its working again
just sometimes it does that to me
no matter if hes alive

[melnibonian]

OK as long as it is working you're fine. But I would suggest you reinstall SH3Cmd just in case. Since you're using GWX I would also suggest you use the GWX cfg files for SH3Cmd (you can get them from the link in my signature). Also remember that some careers that have started in SH3/GW1.1a might not be compatible with GWX.

[Morts]

i already use the CFG files
and its not a converted career

OK that's really strange then. I can't think of any other reason why you might have this problem really. I'm affraid if you want more info you will have to speak with Jaesen or BBW. I can't think of anything else at the moment. Sorry about that:oops:

[Morts]

np:up:
fact is that its working
that means i can still sink ships

[bigboywooly]

:hmm: odd one that
Obviously it wont load up a dead or surrendered career
The install is following the right path

So do you still get it now and again where you cant load even with a " live " career ?

[Morts]

yea
sometimes it just wont let me load it up (live career)
mostly it will though

[bigboywooly]

What version of SH3commander are you running ?

[Morts]

version 2.7
