Hello everyone! I've decided to come back to sh3.I have been getting an annoying glitch while trying to play the campaign mode.

I hope that all you brilliant sh3 players can explain what to do with this glitch.

I'm running sh3 1.4b with gwx 2.1

I started in the 7th flotilla based in konigsberg. My first patrol is grid AO98 and it ends on aug2,39.

My second patrol starts aug22(same grid)and ends on aug24,39.

Okay, this is when the glitch starts. when i go to check my next patrol mission, it says patrol grid AO98 for 24 hours and return to base(konigsberg). i hit the start mission button and a box pops up saying my base has changed to kiel.

The mission starts(it is now sept13,1939) and i right away get 4 new radio messages, they say(in this order: base changed to konigsberg
base changed to kiel
base changed to konigsberg
base changed to kiel.

I get the same 4 radio messages every minute for the for 25 straight hours before i finally have enough and save my game and exit!

My orders still say to patrol grid AO98 for 24 hours and return to konigsberg.

What gives? In previous patrols i didn't get any messages that tell me to go to kiel when my patrol is complete. I've deleted my career 3 times and everytime i start 7th flotilla, this happens.

I have not done any upgrades nor added crewman while in base between missions. What should i do? just try and get by the insane amount of radio messages and finish my patrol? If so, what base do i return to?

Please help! I can't wait to really get into the campaign and see how much better gwx2.1 makes sh3.

Ihope i have given enough info. if not let me know what else you need to know.By the way... sorry for long post,lol!

Do you have the GWX 2.1 Bug fix? If not search the Mods Workshop forum for that & then download it. Apparently there were a very few things that slipped past the GWX team when the 2.1 update was released & I think (don't quote me on this though) that the Bug Fix corrects your problem along with the other stuff that got passed the team.

Thanks for the info everyone. Murr44, i downloaded the gwx 2.1 bugfix(it does solve the 7th flotilla problem). However i disabled all my mods,then restarted jsgme,enabled the 2.1 bug fix. then when i went to enable the altenative flotilla mod i got this warning-

"Flotilla.cfg" has already been altered by the "GWX 2.1 Minor fix's 26th April" mod.
"de_menu.txt" has already been altered by the "GWX 2.1 Minor fix's 26th April" mod.

also get warning for the sensor snorkel mod.

should i continue and install this mod or will this screwup the bug fix mod?

not an expert at this,lol. all these mods can get confusing if you don't know which ones to install first.

Thanks again for your response

Alt flotilla mod has same problem

You can change

Go E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII \MODS\GWX - Alternative Flotillas\data\Cfg

and open the Flotilla cfg

Go

Flotilla2=904

NbBases2=4

If you are 1939 not need schnorkel sensors yet
Not till near war end
