Mod Issues

[gi_dan2987]

I'm playing SH3 with GWX3 enabled along with the following smaller mods:

Enhanced damage effects
Mediterranean aircraft skins
No Medals on Crew
VIIC/41 Player sub
Late war sensors snorkel antennas
16km atmosphere

I know I supercede the recommended requirements for playing the game, so it's not an issue of poor system performance. I just docked at the Bessel supply ship in Vigo, Spain to reload on torps and fuel. Now I just got orders to return to Wilhelmshaven, but for some reason when I try to save my game mid-patrol, it says my save fails! :damn: I really don't want to get in a scuffle with a destroyer, or sink a ****load of ships, and get killed or have a CTD on me without having a good save point. Any suggestions??

Have you actually left the supply ship yet? Or are you just trying to make a save before taking off again from that point?

The game treats docking for resupply as the end of a patrol, so when you docked there, it would've been the end of your last patrol. Leaving there will start a new patrol - so I'm pretty sure the game would've made an auto-save at that point just like when you dock at your home base. I don't know that it matters, but I've never tried to save before actually firing up the engines and leaving the spot from where my current patrol is going to start. If you're still sitting by the supply ship, maybe it won't let you save since the new patrol doesn't start until you actually move away from the departure point? :hmmm:

OTOH if you've sailed away from the Bessel and really are in mid-patrol again and it won't let you save, I'm not sure what could be going on. Is it just refusing to make a save at all? Are you getting some kind of message when you click on Save, or are you going back into the game and finding out that your save isn't there?
