I believe you are right, for the graphical error, as I haven't gotten it since I completely reinstalled everything from scratch, I only have the glowing issue along with saves. I have not been launching with SH3 Commander since then, and have uninstalled it for the time being.

Commander should always be rolled back BEFORE altering any Modded file sets and you should always do this docked at base before/after a patrol.

Yes, I don't use the automatically roll back function, but I always roll back before activating any mods or installing anything else. I must have forgotten to at one point.

Moving forward. You said that you reinstalled SH3+GWX completely and used a backup copy of your save data and everything was fine, even with activated mods. You then add additional mods and the problem returned. Did you roll back Commander? Did you use 'clean' source versions of these additional mods or were they left over form a previous installation.

Yes, mostly, I did NOT have any mods activated when everything seemed fine. I had forgotten to activate them and only noticed because I didn't hear Thomsen's sounds. At this point, I was running with Commander, and I may have neglected to roll back when I went to activate them.

You're part way there with your clean installation, just ensure that the non-native (to GWX) mods you are adding are re-downloaded from source and are unaltered.

The only mod there would be Thomsen's, I will redownload it to make sure.

Edit - If the Steam Install is causing you trouble in file removal, check both the Steam Program files folder & the Steam Apps folder. you will find SH3 files in both. I assume you know that GWX needs to be installed to the Steam Apps folder, as do all other mods.

I know about steamapps\common\silent hunter 3, that's where I've been installing it and such, but what do you mean Steam Program files folder? All I know about is the ncf file in steamapps which removes itself when the game is uninstalled and the game data in steamapps\common\silent hunter 3.

Yes, as above, I believe it had to do with SH3Commander not being rolled back.




I managed to forget something as well, when I was playing around with the naval academy to test the water glowing issue, I also managed to complete it, but it did NOT save a rating or the fact I had completed that training mission, it still says "No exam yet". Unrelated, or maybe it's not writing files correctly? -Edit: Nevermind this, it was an error on my part.
