Right now I hate SH3!!!!!

hyperion2206 · 10-15-06, 12:58 PM

Just completed my 1st patrol and sunk 5 ships (about 16000 tons) which were all recorded in my logbook. But when I ended the patrol SH3 said I didn't sink a single ship!!!!
I've heard that things like that occur with SH3 but I thought that the ships one has sunk won't appear in the logbook.

:hmm:

I've never had any problems with that occurring, although once I lost my medalsbut that was because I had a corrupted #30 mission cause the computer crashed. Are you using SH3 Commander with it? Have you upgraded the vanilla version to version 1.4?

hyperion2206 · 10-15-06, 01:30 PM

Yep, I use SH3 Commander and I've upgraded the game to 1.04. Does that matter?

bigboywooly · 10-15-06, 01:31 PM

Yes tis a cr*p bug
Doesnt affect everybody and its pretty much first patrol only
Did you upgrade the boat before your first patrol ?

hyperion2206 · 10-15-06, 01:34 PM

No I didn't because I know of that bug. I used SH3 Commander before and I never had the problem I have right now.

robj250 · 10-15-06, 01:40 PM

I upgraded my TGW prior to first patrol and the first patrol seems to be working fine, so far.

Hope I don't run into any problems.
Oh, yea, in TGW, I got my old sub "U-51" back, great

I've had this bug a number of times--and yes, I know not to upgrade your sub before patrol 1. I've been using long range boats lately and I found it annoying not knowing if my first patrol tonnage would be recorded.

My solution was to always start the 1st patrol and immediately abort it. Then, using SH3 commander, set time in base at 1 day. So, in a sense, I start my careers on patrol 2 on the same day I would have started Patrol 1. Haven't had the problem since.

Good workaround

Would the same happen if you made a pit stop in a friendly port before going of to your first patrol?

Strange, I almost always upgrade my sub before the 1st patrol (if possible) and I never had this bug. Does anyone know under what circumstances this bug occurs? Just out of curiosity...

No its a random thing
I have upgraded before first patrol also and no problems

I generally treat the first patrol as a shakedown cruise now then upgrade and add more sailors

Just in case

Think I would be more than a bit pissed if I hit a TF and sunk a couple of big ones just to get no credit

Likewise. As a humble new Lt, I take the boat out, do some test dives and basically just put my new boat through her paces whilst "getting to know the crew".

Then I return to base just in time to get my promotion to ObLt.

Patrol 2 is when the fun begins...

(BTW, I've *never* experienced this bug, but then again, I never use the game's save functions which may be one reason why?)

I’m still new to this forum here, in fact I just sent away for SH3, now I’m not trying to shanghai this post (sorry) BUT WHAT THE…………… is SH3 Commander? Do I have to get this too

SH3 commander is a great tool that lets you change several things with SHIII, like wave-height and reloading times on the deck and aircraft guns. It also lets you set up careers and managing these, + much more! A must have!
