new computer, save games transfer?
 

Hi,


i just bought a new computer, installed SHIII (off course :)) and i copied the SH3 folder over from my old pc to the correct location on the new pc.
In the game, i see my correct academy settings but when i proceed to load my career, i can't find my savegames.
All saves are from during a patrol. Do i need to be in harbour to be able to transfer the savegames or how would it be possible to continue the game?
SHIII is a real pain when it comes to savegames :(

I'm pretty sure it's best to complete all campaigns (be in harbor) before reinstalling, especially with SH3's buggy save system (though it seems better in Grey Wolves).

I seem to remember having a problem loading my saved games when I reinstalled SH3 and only the academy showing up. I had to do some file suffling, but it was so long ago I don't remember what I did. :o

I have the answer here:

what you need to transer or save on an disk when going to an new installation or PC is:

''Thread: Save my SH3 career by HunterICX''

cool i'll give that a try, thanks

Nope doesn't work. sigh. save games should be easily transferable nothing like this cr*p. I copied the SH3 dir in the my documents AND the full Silent Hunter dir and... nothing ! Wuh !!!
The person who "invented" this save crapola should be keelhauled.:down:

Edit: I saved the original cfg too from when i reinstalled. The campaign that i'm playing was already in there.
I copied that one and now it works ! Scratch that keelhaul order... Nah, it's still a bad save system :)
But i'm happy i can play and that's what counts in the end.
Thanks for the help people.
