I have a big mystery well big to me it is anyway. I saved a game last nite and went to fire it up today via SH3 Commander and there were no saves listed in the saves screen of SHIII. Let me now give some back ground info.

I have 3 separate installs of SHIII created with SH3 Front End. #1 NORTH ATLANTIC, #2 THE MEDITERRANEAN and the #3 being OPP. DRUMBEAT. I'm starting a career in each with a slightly different mod setup via JSGME. All 3 installs are GWX3 and started with SH3 Commander. I've already completed 1 patrol with no issues, on the NORTH ATLANTIC install. I completed that patrol and am back in Wilhelmshaven awaiting orders. Next I switched, by selecting my Mediterranean install via SH3 Front End. Set up my Captian, U-Boat, Flotilla and starting date and headed out of Salamis with KARL HAAS in command. After 22 days at sea (CN66) and 8 game saves, the last being last nite. I went to load my latest game save this morning and they were all gone. Every one of them. Here's what I did:
1 Started SHIII via SH3 Commander. all appeared good here. My Picture, U-Boat #, it shows I'm at sea, and the date of my last save, etc. Hit the check mark and I was off to the next screen.
2 This second screen is just the a progress bar.
3 On the third screen, I saw my commander's name and selected "SAVED CAREER" and I was off to the next screen.
4 On this screen it list all your game saves, there weren't any, zero, zilch, notta.

Never seen this before, I restarted the computer and SHIII, with the same results as the first try. ALL MY SAVES ARE GONE. Has anyone seen this before ? Pretty positive I've read ALL the instructions and read-me's on every mod I use. Maybe I've missed something. Help ... LOL. I don't mind restarting a career but I really don't wanna experience this again, if you catch my drift. I've even looked in my DOC/MED/DATA/CFG/CAREERS/ KARL HAAS folder that SH3 Commander created. Usually you'll see files listed like "Career_0, Career_1, etc. But mine only list "Career_0 etc.

In closing I'm going to include my mod list:

Also, after each gaming session I run CCleaner and do a Defrag. But in all my years, these have never caused issues. Any ideas would be helpful. Also I started this thread because it didn't seem to be an issue with any Super Mod, Mod, Front End or SHIII Commander.
Thanx Jerry (Doolar) CA45

IT WORKED !!!!! Thank You !!!! After seeing that post, I can remember reading about that a long long time ago. The way to avoid that issue, was to run a short harbor patrol in a "test" career before starting a "regular" career.
Thank you very much. If ya ever get to Baltimore Maryland (CA45), I owe ya a beer :Kaleun_Cheers:
