You lost me here.

I *assume* you mean that SH3 and SH3Cmdr show the tonnage sunk in the individual patrol log, but don't record the tonnage sunk when displaying the cumulated career total? That is, the "first patrol" bug.

Well, you can fix it. You need to edit "Careers.cfg". Under "[CAREER 000]", you need to replace the zeros at:
Quote:
TonnageSunk=0.000000
MerchantTotalTonnage=0.000000
WarshipsTotalTonnage=0.000000
ShipsSunkNb=0
MerchantTotalShipsSunk=0
WarshipsTotalShipsSunk=0
PatrolCraftSunk=0
CorvetteSunk=0
FrigateSunk=0
DestroyerEscortSunk=0
DestroyerSunk=0
MineSweeperSunk=0
LightCruiserSunk=0
HeavyCruiserSunk=0
EscortCarrierSunk=0
AircraftCarrierSunk=0
BattleCruiserSunk=0
BattleShipSunk=0
MineLayingShipSunk=0
AuxiliaryCruiserSunk=0
PlanesDownNb=0
with the values and tonnage reported in your Log_0.cfg file. THEN you need to roll over the values for EVERY successive patrol that you have completed (hopefully not many, if any).

Alternatively, the lazy way is just to update the *last* CAREER entry, assuming you haven't deleted any save games.

Now, you should also know that this SH3 bug does more than just not record your tonnage - it incorrectly records both your career and flotilla start dates as 0/0/00. So, you also need to edit the following entries, again under "[CAREER 000]", by replacing the zeros with the actual career start date:
Quote:
StartMonth=0
StartDay=0
StartYear=0
...
NbPatrolsInFlotilla0=0
StartYearInFlotilla0=0
StartMonthInFlotilla0=0
StartDayInFlotilla0=0
SH3Cmdr works around this bug, but I don't know what long term problems you may experience if you don't correct it.
