Problem with milk cow game save (not crash)

the.terrabyte.pirate · 08-30-11, 06:32 PM

Hi all.

I've moved to Lorient, and BDU decided to send my Type IID "Coastal" boat into the middle of the Atlantic. Being that I had limited fuel and eels for such an extensive trip, I planned to make a stopover at the milkcow Corrientes in the Canary Islands.

After finishing up the patrol at the Corrientes I took a break from SHIII for some SimGolf.

Now when I try to load up the save file the instructions correctly tell me start is Corrientes, destination Lorient, but when the game starts I'm already in Lorient harbour.

Is this a bug, something correctable, or is BDU punishing me for playing golf while on duty...

its my understanding that when you switch from Wilhelmshaven-saltwizel(incorrect spelling) witha type 2 your supposed to switch boats to a type 7 when you reach lorient with second flotilla. I think thats why its messed up. Thats my two cents.

I'm not sure how to fix your problem, but you could just use SH3 Commander to assign yourself a closer grid before starting the original patrol.

I guess you had a designated driver, but can't remember. Drunken sot

This happened to me once and the only explanation I could think of is that the "change base to Lorient" message came in before I docked at Corrientes. So it sounds like a bug to me.

Unfortunately, I deleted that career, and cannot remember how SH3 Commander handled the anomaly.
