Run JSGME in your SH3 game folder johnboy1958, and use "Tasks..." in the middle of the Window, and then "Export activated mods list to --->" and then either do "Clipboard" for pasting it into your next posting, or "Text file" for later copying and pasting into another post. Perhaps there is something you have in your list that is causing your untimely passing. SH3 seems to "break" things on your boat if the config isn't "just so" sometimes. Perhaps someone will see something amiss in your list, and get it to where you can at least make the fifth patrol before dying... If I start in later 1943 in SH3, I am usually dead after one or two patrols, mostly due to the Allies' better ASW weaponry...
