a little problem with tonnage i have sunk

[boneman]

hello guys i just finished my first patrol and sank some ships but now while i am at base SH3 commander (the newest version) did not count my ships i have sunk it just says NO SHIPS SUNK???????????? i have saved my patrol now and then when i was at sea but DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING (NO ROLL BACK AND NO MOD CHANGES) so now is my question HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!

Try reloading at your last save point and see if it appears :hmm:

Did you upgrade your boat prior to going out? There's a well known bug in the game that may cause you to lose credit for your tonnage if you "buy" anything before going on the first patrol of a new career. I make a habit of not "buying" anything, including crewmen, that costs any extra renown when starting the 1st patrol of a new career. When you want to upgrade save the game when you're in home port after completing patrol # 1. Exit the game & restart it. Then perform any upgrades that you want before going out on the second patrol.

yes i upgraded before i started my first patrol and by the way jimbuna if you load a saved game all previous saved games are lost.......................

I just follow what the GWX manual says and don't do anything on my first patrol because of some issues... :shifty:

Load it up, do some maneuvers offshore and dock.:know:

On my second patrol, sink some ships and I have renown. Yahoo!:arrgh!:

I was referring to your penultimate save point http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

its almost a sure thing that if you upgrade your boat at all before patrol 1 that you will lose all tonnage. Also I found if you save and then reload during your first patrol you will get zero tonnage. As said above, when starting a new career, do a shakedown patrol first.
