Hi
I've just completed my first patrol with a new skipper. Tonight, managed to evade an ASW and also two patrol boats. then got myself a convoy and managed to take pot shots, hitting & sinking 4 large merchants for some 44k total tonnage (one of my top 5 single best patrols)
I then made my way back to St Nazaire as I had expended all my torpedoes and stopped at the dot at sea for St/N.
I then clicked "DOCK AT: St Nazaire" and finished my patrol.
I got awareded 11 War Badges and Two Iron Crosses, which I duly allocated to my crew.
I started my second patrol and this is where it began to get strange. Despite having start at sea enabled, I found myself beginning within the Pen.
OK so I motored out and got myself to a position some 20km outside of harbour and saved & exited.
It was only THEN when I exited the game I found SH3 commander had actually updated my career status to "Lost at sea during Patrol 1" WTF??
So I rolled back SH3 commander, and started SH3 again w/o SH3 commander, only to find this saying "DEAD" against my savegame.
It seems that after three hours hard work tonight I have lost all of this, and also I cannot now load this career again through SH3 commander.
Can anyone help me fix this issue, or is this something I've got to live with now and just re-start a NEW career.
Oh yes and in case you're asking NO I didn't save between leaving the convoy and arriving home
