Date doesn't change on orders

[Ham920]

When the mission load screen is loading there is a “News Sheet” that tells you where the Patrol area is and it also provides War News information. I’m in 1944 but the News hasn’t changed since 1941.The Patrol areas change, but not the news. What am I doing wrong?

The NewsMod is a part of SH3Cmdr. Are you currently using SH3Cmdr?

[Ham920]

Yes,Idownloaded it and am using SH3Cmdr. Is there something I need to do to activate the date and/or time change?

From the SH3 Commander help file:


"SH3 Commander loads files based on the current career date and anticipated next patrol start date, so make sure that you exit the game after every patrol. Then, when you want to start a new patrol, just launch SH3 Commander and choose the career or mission that you want to play. But don't worry if you forget to launch the game via SH3 Commander once in a while - it won't cause serious problems. It just means that you may see a news file from the wrong date, or your boat may have deeper crush depth characteristics, etc. These problems are minor, temporary and will disappear as soon as you update the game by running SH3 Commander again."


So make sure you quit after you dock at base after every patrol, then relaunch SH3 via the SH3 Commander window on your computer's desktop, that should correct the news dates.
