just gotta try to load that save again
sometimes you may even have to go back a save

save early, save often.

Thanks! :) My old habit saving the game after battles and before docking saved my career, loading earlier save, just before docking cured it. But still very annoying bug, potential career destroyer.

I remember reading about this in another post, it puts you at 0 Lat and 0 Long but I can't find the post to explain. Could it be you started without commander, saved, and then reloaded save in commander? Or vice versa?


Or I could be talking tosh, in which case feel free to ignore me! :wah:

It is a stock bug and nothing to od with either GWX or SH3Cmdr. It happens when the game cannot determine your starting base and is sometimes triggered by refuelling from a milch cow then saving. Simple solution is usually to go to the previous save and start again.

This thread explains a bit more:

Why not upgrade your installation from v2.0 to v3.0?

There is a lot more to see and fear in the latest version http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

Yes, but as an alternative you couls put a second installation onto your computer, I have had 8 on the go at the same time in the past.
