HEELLPPP...those damned saved files again

Have the latest patch (1.4b) and Meditteranean mod (also patched with its 1.02 version).

During my first career patol, I saved the gave twice and happily went to bed.

Today, I tried loading the career, the game begins for 2-3 seconds (in the control room) but before I do anything the end career screens comes up showing me the results of the patrol and career. The only option that I have is to abandon career....

ANy ideas out there????? I tried loading my second save game but still the same results.

Are you saving while submerged? It sound's as if you have experienced the bug where the boat crash dives at loadup. This is almost certainly caused by saving underwater.

Welcome to Subsim:up:

Take a look around there are some supermods available which will increase your gaming experience 100%. ;)

Enjoy your stay.:sunny:

hi and thanks for the welcome.

Actually i was not submerged.

I had just finished pounding a neutral :oops: fishing boat with my 8.8cm when i saved the game...

Ah, this could be another bug. Saving too close to ships/shipping, although I have never experienced this with a sunk/destroyed ship, were there other ships around?

nope...no other ships around....only the sinking fishing boat...

The only thing i have not tried is something i saw in another thread:

go to the save file and check the "end career=true" (or something like that)

You can try the above fix, won't hurt. Failing that, I think you will have to start the patrol agian.

On the plus side, if you do start again, you'll have a pretty good idea of where the ships are.:rotfl:

Happy Hunting.

will try the fix....

thanks for the help guys...

btw, do you think that playing Rammstein on the grammophone -although historically incorrect- will help the crews morale?:rock:

I'm not sure abour Rammstein, but I think you could try with "The Internationale"… That should boost morale, not only if sinking Soviets in te Black Sea. (Of course I assume all your crew has their 'proper' political education. Otherwise ̶ don't try this one, it could result in them voluntarily surrender to Russians :) ).
