Ahoy Kaleuns,
GWX is on my 'puta since a few days. I've started a career, played some time, saved the game numerous times. Launched SH3 the other day, and all my career data was gone. Went mad. Started a new career yesterday, played a while, saved games on the first patrol, went to bed. Launched SH3 today, all career data gone - files still on the hard disk, but SH3 simply doesn't show them. Never had that problem in stock SH3, any suggestions? I know I might not save submerged nor while loading torpedoes etc., but I don't think I made this mistake. GWX is beginning to drive me mad... ![]()

You are saving your games in a wrong way.There maybe multiple mistakes in stock SHIII as well as GWX if you save your patrol:
1.Close to other ships. 2.Being submerged. 3.Close to land. You should always save your patrol far from land (over 250 km),without having visual or sonar or report contacts with other ships,and in surfaced position.Generally speaking,there should be clear map around you and your U-Boat must be surfaced. Hope that helps.Good Hunting. ![]() ![]() |

I've never found that 'inappropriate' saves (as described above) actually disappear.
What I do find is that odd things can happen. For example if submerged, when you load up you get the tinkling glass from shattered gauges, and I've read that this trasnlates to a slight reduction in Hull Integrity but I can't confrim that. Also things like sunk ships re-appearing etc. But my saves have never disappeared because of this. Maybe others' have? Sorry that doesn't help too much but hey-ho... |

Nothing to do with patrol saves
![]() Did you delete SH3 file from C\MyDocs completely prior to installation of GWX? :hmm: |

Two questions.
1. Do you use multiple installations? 2. Are the saved games in C\My Documents\SH3 or you created a different folder?
