simdata.dll Error on startup

[Barrett]

I cloned my SH-III folder yesterday to install the s-Boot mod, but somehow the exact copy of my GWX-SH3 refuses to work, crashing with the simdata.dll error you normally get when loading a corrupt save
i can't find any reason why it would do that...

has anybody any idea why the hell this doesn't work?

[Reise]

Simdata usually campaign or ship error
Are you trying to start sboot career in GWX ?

[Barrett]

i can't even get into the game.... after copying it just loads the startup screen up to 90-100% then says simdata....

i've tracked down the error into the Sea folder after replacing it it worked one time then crashed again with the same error :(

[Barrett]

solved the problem: obviously Sh3 Commander createst a file called SS-S100.cfg in your roster/germany/submarine folder, if you enter a custom # for your boat
SH-3 didn't like that and crashed :-D

Glad its sorted
Best to make sure you roll back commander before carrying out anything as you did
I use the auto rollback feature

[Barrett]

i use auto roll back as well ;)

the problem is, that when you start a new career using SH3Commander, it will create this file, making it impossible to get into the game...

after deleting the file and not setting a custom boat number it works because SH3cmdr won't try to create a file where it saves the boat number since then its chosen by SH3 ;)

Hmmm most odd
Which version of SH3commander do you use ?

I think the S100 cfg doesnt come from commander though
