The War Has Ended... in Jan. 1942 ?!

[vigilante]

I run SHIII with GWX3; I've just finished a mission, came back to St. Nazare and then... surprise - the war has eneded! In Januray 1942 !!
First I thought I'm playing SH5 and made big eyes, but just to discover it's good ol' SHIII: timeout:
I've deleted The War Ended autosave , started a new mission, but all missions after the "end of teh war" are NOT SAVED. Doesn't exist.
I know Silent Hunter is without any doubt the game with the most bugs ever, but this one simply kill the game. Strange...
Anyone encounter this odd behaviour on their SHIII? Cheers.

It's a known stock SHIII bug related to ending a patrol with renown lower than a threshold I can't recall off the top of my head. Otherwise it can be caused if you try to load an old pre-GWX career when you start using GWX.

Lol...they took your keys away and said "no more boat for you". Yes, its happened to me before, but I suspect it was for not completing a couple of missions. Restarted the career (and completed the missions) and the next game finished in 45.

Well, pretty odd, for some reason it changed all 5 sunk allied merchants in... neutral, after the mission ended. That's why it took my keys. Guess Doenitz wants be dismissed.
TarJak, thank you very much, that it did the trick.:yeah:
