SH3COMMANDER Problem

[YellowFin]

When trying to start a new career I can select a starting flotilla other than Erprobungsstelle Kiel (depending on the date as per the manual) but I cannot select a boat type or number. The drop down menus have no entries (just one blank line).

When hitting the button labelled

"LSH3 Edition 2015 GAMESTART (tick mark)"

anyway, I get an error message saying

"No Flotilla or U-boat Type selected! Please try again."

Other information:

I have a LSH3 2015 install based on a steam version of the game, running on Windows 10. The installation path is "C:\Games\Silent_Hunter_3"

Other than that I have not encountered major bugs or problems. The game runs smooth and has crashed maybe two times since installation in early February 2017.
