I AM SO upset OFF RIGHT NOW!! Saved game keeps crashing!

fastfed · 05-11-07, 07:48 AM

I FINALLLLLY get to see a battleship in a convoy (GWX BTW) I always save 2 games

fastfed1
fastfed2

I always restore a saved game if I get badly damaged or die, so I pretty much had so much flooding though I recovered but my batteries were destroyed, so I reloaded my fastfed1 game, sure enough right when it says "Not to long ago" it crashed to the desktop and asks if I want to send the information to microsoft or not..

DAMN THIS!!

There has got to be a way to restore this game, also my fastfed2 saved game does not show up, so its either fastfed1 which crashes or all the way back to before patrol.

Anyway to recover this? Or atleast get my fastfed2 saved game to show again?

THANKS

If this happens to me

, I am done and never restore a previous save. When I am dead, I am dead, as much as that sucks

I know allot of you people play dead is dead, but I don't I enjoy building my crew and seeing new things in GWX, maybe next career will be that way, but for now I just want to sink a battleship!!

What are the conditions when you are saving, surfaced, submerged? Did you install any mods while on patrol:hmm:

Never save whilst submerged

Try taking the saved game file to another drive, reboot the machine then put it back to its original location.
and/or
Add the letter 'x' after your saved game title then do the above.

Sometimes these actions help

And try to not save if you have other ship in the render range (aka 30km)

You may have the dreaded "windspeed=0" bug, check the campaign files in the main SH3 directory. Do a search here for the particulars. I am at work now and unable to remember the file names (3) of which need to be checked and corrected this could salvage the 'bugged' saves.

Good luck!

If you are playing GWX all the 3 files need to be WindSpeed=4.000000
Campaign_scr\Lnd and Rnd.mis

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Campaigns\Campa ign

fastfed · 05-11-07, 02:36 PM

I saved while in the middle of the convoy WHILE UNDERWATER

So I guess I am screwed??

I checked the windspeed thing and that's fine!!

I'm Screwed huh?

Jimbuna · 05-11-07, 03:15 PM

Have you tried the suggestions in my earlier thread ?
or
Why not go back to the save before ?

fastfed · 05-13-07, 08:19 AM

OK NOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!

I went into the documents folder, sh3, saved games and changed my fastfed1 to fastfed1x

rebooted the computer, and it still didn't work, so I said screw it and just reloaded again from the base ( restarting that patrol )

half way into it I tried to save the game, now it just says saved failed.

No matter what I try to save it as.

Jimbuna · 05-13-07, 12:06 PM

Just to clarify....did you remove the renamed files prior to rebooting ? :hmm:
