Save file misery

Penelope_Grey · 03-03-07, 01:59 PM

I have been the vitim of yet another save file tradgedy.

When I load the game, that happens, I end up over 500 meters deep. Why is my VII being sent on a one way ticket to the bottom?

Is my game now incapable of saving properly, must I start my 11th patrol over again!? I have had enough now, I am going to use Commander and set myself as being in home base automatically rather than Travel from Vigo back to Kiel.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Once is unfortunate, twice is just plain aggrivating.

Sorry for that fellow commanders. I needed to get that off my chest, and with being 500m deep there was no way I could bounce the watch officers head off the Uzo this time.

Thats very strange,i have never had it happen to me.on the other hand at least you can avoid those depth chargers at 500m lol

Did you saved the game while submerged? If you did then there is a chance your save game is messed up. I would suggest trying to load it up again or load an earlier save (if you have one) where you saved on the surface. If any of these doesn't work I'm affraid you will have to start the patrol from port again.

Yes I do, because the weather I have had conventionally has been rubbish!

I do believe the crash dive of death has been linked to SH3 weather
