Hmm, that's odd. A basic search using just "Memel" found me everything I needed to know. Try it.

I have added the GWX 2.1 bug mod: still no Memel and still the mysterious transportation to the shores of Africa.
C'mon, admit it, you didn't search first did you? From the 2.1 bugfix thread: "Fixed error in Ge menu where had Memel listed in line 765 instead of Koenigsberg".

In other words, Memel was never meant to be there in the first place; it's a typo. Fixed in the bugfix and OLC Ubermod. Ironically, it was not fixed in SH3Cmdr, because (you can see where I am heading here)...SH3Cmdr has nothing to do with it.

If you have a career started in Memel pre the GWX 2.1 bug fix, it will no longer work post the bug fix, or with the OLC Ubermod installed.

But this is only one part of your problem...

...And here is the main part of your problem, which is not a GWX 2.1 / SH3Cmdr compatibility issue at all, but a GWX 2.1 / OLC GUI 1.2.3 incompatibility. The latter is NOT compatible with GWX 2.1 careers that are started in Koenigsberg. I'm not sure if OLC GUI 1.2.3 is otherwise compatible with GWX 2.1, but it does not include the Koenigsberg base that was added to GWX 2.1. You need to add it - 765=Königsberg.

But as you started your career pre the GWX 2.1 bug fix, it will still not work (as I mentioned above).

I'll leave this one for you to take up with OLC and/or the GWX team.
