- 11/1943 carreer based in Penang with a Typ IX D2: check!

Worked out fine so far. In case I run into problems I'll keep you posted. This astonished the hell out of me, since previously it was said, that GWX 1.03 and GWX 2.0 careers would not be compatible. For those of you waiting to upgrade to 2.0 because they want to end their careers first I recommend: go back to port, backup the old careers and the GWX 1.03 installation, install GWX 2.0 fresh and try. Doesn't hurt to try. In case it doesn't work, you will only have lost a little time  Just my 2 cents. In case you mess up your installation because you didn't backup correctly don't tell people I said you should do it |
The problem with saved games is that SH3 save system is cumulative, it saves data from previous patrols, In a lot of cases you'll have no problem with old saved careers (specially if you where using GWX 1.03), but if you have a save game wich has a unit not included in GWX 2.0 it will certainly result in a CTD, as it's a per user case, we can't assert that old careers will work on GWX 2.0 so to avoid problems we recommend doing a fresh install, but it doesn't hurt to try, if you're lucky you'll be able to continue your old career.

Woof, Ref,
No problems will encountered if you start an old career in port. Just the "in patrol saved games" could be problematic.  |
Thx Rubini.
The on patrol save games become a problem any time you change anything more than a texture. That's been a problem from the beginning. But it's good to know I can upgrade more or less safely without having to start from scratch. After all I haven ammassed 30.000 points in renown in order not to get my XXI
