aaarrggh.. deleted saves

Muntjak · 08-31-05, 02:56 AM

Arrrhh.. I tried to clean up a bit due to low disk space. I decided to delete some saves... I deleted first one (just after beginin of first patrol in my career). And the game deleted all later saves!!!

Damn you ubisoft. Ehh.. I just started this caeer and I was in the middle of 3rd patrol but.. I'm ******* mad. Files are still there but I can't simply load them. It looks like all patrols (data about sunk ships etc) were deleted from this text files :/ I tried to alter patrols.cfg (incrase number of patrols) but all I got is crashing to desktop.

Ehh.. Any solutions developed? What a terrible start of war for kriegsmarine - uboot lost because of savegame problem...

Yep, made that mistake as well!

It's a very annoying and pretty stupid system if you ask me... why can't you just delete old save games without deleting all newer save games with it... very weird...

I know, same thing happened to me.

I'm beginning to think that the Dev Team never even played this Sim.
Here's a few more---
Never save a game while loading torpedos.
You will have to start a new Career.
Never save a game and save and exit at the same time.
Like if you save a game at 13:05
wait until 13:06 until you save and exit.

ROFL.

Just today I deleted an important file.

I had to use a hexeditor to recover it.

Fun stuff.
