This is an old Silent Hunter III save-game routine bug....

FIRST... delete the entire SH3 folder found in C:/My Documents... Silent Hunter III will generate a new one for you when you re-start the game that will be "clean" and ready to accept the GW mod as it were.

1) On your first patrol of a new career before leaving port... do not upgrade or change anything on your U-Boat. (I think you can add a sub emblem... but do so at your own risk.)

2) On your following patrols do not upgrade your sub at the end of the patrol... wait until you are about to leave for the next one.
(In base at end of patrol=no upgrading
In base just prior to patrol start=ok go ahead and upgrade it.)

3) Also regarding ships in harbors all running straight towards the nearest ground, beaching, and burning etc.... THIS happens when you save your game within 50 km of a harbor... and is also a stock SH3 bug. (Another tip, you will take an FPS hit in harbor areas because there is a lot for your PC to track and render... USE LOW TC if you must use TC to leave the area.

4) If you do upgrade your sub at the wrong time or save a game before an enemy ship is actually sunk YOU WILL NOT GET CREDIT FOR DESTROYING THEM!!!

5) Numbers 1-4 above we cannot fix... but you can change your actions to adapt to them, thereby nullifying them. Stock SH3 Save-game routines are simply screwed up and cannot be fixed otherwise. This is NOT a new bug introduced by the GW mod.

I hope this helps mate.

thanks for the help ... not shure if i get ... but thanks.

for irish1958

war is never over ... it only ends to the ones that die. ask anyone who fought a war ...

[irish1958]

You are right of course, about the war never being over for those who were in it. (I was in the Air force during the Viet Nam, US war). I never got shot at, but I lost some good mates.
I didn't mean to be disrespectful of the people who went through those hells.
