HELP!! I lost all my saved games

[maverick76]

Hi guys,

I am new in the subsim world and would like to discover it.

I couldnt find the answers so I placed a new topic. (sorry for that)

The problem:

I installed SH3 (version 1.4) on my computer together with GWX 2.0, commander and some mods. It runs on vista without problems.

I started a career and went on my first patrol. A couple of times i saved my games.
The next day i loaded my last saved game without any problems.
Finally saved it again. couple of days later i want to load a saved game but i found out that all my saved games were gone. The save game list was empty, blanco.

So i started a new carreer ...and it happend again!! In commander i found out my last save was on 23rd august but when i started the game the list was empty.

I was pretty upset so i removed SH3 completely in order to reistall it again.

Is there any captain who had the same problem??

thanx

You will find your saved game in C/MyDocs.

Add for example an 'x' to the folder and they should reappear next time you load your game.

Later you can delete the 'x' and carry on as normal.

Thanks Jimbuna for responding quickly.
I am not an computer expert so i am afraid you have to explain your answer.

I have to add an "x" to the folder...Do I have to rename my folder?? Should my savings start with "x"??

First i have to reinstall the game. Yesterday i found out that i only played the game with GWX and some mods. Now i will add it with GWX 2.0.

This week I dont have much time because of my work

Would you be standby? I would be thankfull.

After you have reinstalled your game and started playing/saving again, your saves (which by default go to 'C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents') will have a name (usually the name of your Kaleun eg: Endrass)....add an 'x' at the end eg: Endrassx....your saves should be viewable again and you can delete the 'x' later.
