I'm gonna sue them
 
I was way into a great patrol, attacking convoys, sinking a lot of ships and nailing a few aircraft. Been playing for hours, but guess what happened...a 30 sec power loss. The pc restarted and is ok, but of course I lost the entire patrol data. How could I forget to save :damn:

I remember Aces of the Deep with it's patrol autosave which was great, too bad there is no autosave in SH3, they should really put it in SH4.

what should comfort you is that there was no autosave in WWII

:know:

I just save it myself periodically in SH3. Dawn, Dusk and after every kill.

Yes, auto-save would be excellent. Either at a specific minute/hour interval, or upon events happening (convoy engaged, mission accomplished, and so on). Scripted auto-save would be nice, too.

So if Hitler had faced a CTD (Crash To Democracy), he'd be screwed.

Likewise with the Blue Fighter Screen of Death encountered by Luftwaffe pilots of Battle of Britain.

But then again, there are lots of regimes out there that committ Illegal Operations all the time without being shut down:-?.

The world's weird.

Will some of this be included in SH4? It should be, but I guess not..

Anyway, played the game during a thunderstorm, I'm protected against high voltage, but not a loss of power ;) But from now on I'm gonna turn it off.

Auto-Save in Sh3??? We all know the probs that occur when loading a saved game :) . I guess the developers took this into account and disabled it. There was a nasty bug that didn't give you credit for sinking a ship if u load the game just before sinking it. Imagine if the game autosaved in such a manner, you'd end up with 0 tonnage by 1945.

Hvilket kraftselskap bruker du?

(What company do you buy power from?)

It appears there still IS a "nasty bug that doesn't give you credit for sinking a ship if u load the game just before sinking it". This happened to me in my most recent session and I didn't know about the bug and wondered WTF was going on - until I saw this post just now. Thanks Tach.

" I'm gonna sue them "
At first I thought this thread was in reference to sueing Ubisoft.

My fiancee is playing with the idea of pursuing legal actions against the devs under the "loss of affection clause" here........something about me spending too much time on the computer or some silly what not:roll: :lol:

The on ly cure for that is 'marriage' :yep:

The novelty soon wears off then :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well at least she knows about your affliction/addiction /"little problem" prior to the wedding so she can go into it eyes wide open and knowing she will be an SH3-widow. What will you do if she says "It's me or the game, Baby!"?

Tough choice!! :yep:

Response..."gee honey, can I give you my answer after I return from patrol ?" :rotfl: :rotfl:
