Save date keeps changing

Junker · 12-10-08, 12:37 PM

Hi all , I've been away from the game for some time and came back after doing a reformat of my machine . I installed GWX2.1 over a clean install and for the first time started using SH3commander. Ive started my first patrol and played successfully for a while but now when i try to start from my last save i find i can't because the 1st date in the list (ie "in port date") has changed to the current "real world " date which is obviously later then the last save date (I hope that's clear)

Now, I had this problem when playing straight SH3 and also when playing GWX1 and i seem to remember there was a fix which didnt involve restarting the mission from base , if i'm right about that could someone point me in the right direction cos i'm too old and impatient to search through every post in the forums and ive tried several search criteria.

Hoping one of you nice people can help as usual.

Still having this problem occasionally , any help please ?

I have no idea what would cause that. If I ever had the problem I'm guilty of not noticing it, so I'm not much help.

Just here to sympathize.

Wouldn't ever want to be accused of failing to help a fellow sandancer...have you enabled the GWX CFG for Commander?

I also have noticed this, and it always preceeds a corrupt savegame. I get it with a fresh SH3 install, GWX Gold, SH3 Commander plus the cfg fix. Have brought it up on these forums a couple times before.

Sorry I can't answer your question, hopefully someone else can though.
