Who Stole my Medals?

Brag · 07-16-10, 04:59 PM

Hey!

I returned from patrol, gave out medals and specialities and quit game. Today, after starting new patrol, I noticed my new specility guy has no speciality. Further check revealed none of my guys has his medal.

Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?

when crew allotted a medal?

I don't know if you did anything wrong or not but I wait to hand out rewards just before leaving for the next patrol.

There must be a reason I got into the habit of doing it this way but I have forgotten what the reason was. I've been at it for so long you see.

Maybe I had your your experience sometime in the past and that started me doing it this way.

Did you do this in SH3 Commander, or in SH3 itself?

Brag · 07-16-10, 08:34 PM

I have just SH3 and GWX3.0 no other mods

HW3 · 07-16-10, 11:13 PM

Hum...new one on me. I've never had that happen with SH3 itself.

who to blame other then bernard?

I'm sure I read somewhere that buying stuff for your sub and promotions for your crew is bugged if you do it at the end of a patrol.

As Seminole has said. Best to wait until the start of your next patrol to do this stuff.

This anomaly can happen on occasion....wait until just prior to leaving port.

It is most common on the commencement of a second patrol.

Thanks for the replies, Gang!

And I heard some b****** who calls himself "JSBalzU45" bought them all. Claims he picked them up at a "bazaar" of some sort while shopping for exotic tea cozies and hoochie woochie records. Guy sounds like a total loon if you ask me.

Yes, I am also sure I read that you should not upgrade your boat or crew at the return of a patrol because there is a bug in the game where it doesn't remember those things. Upgrade before starting a new patrol and you should be fine.

To fix your current problem, I recommend SHIII Commander. Since you earned the medals, it wouldn't be cheating to fix it like that. Just remember to fix it before starting the patrol.

I have never lost awards, but I have lost personnel...never to be seen again. Its always my high ranking officers. What I have learned is:

Never leave the high ranking (no sleep needed) officers in the damage control station. For some reason, when I leave him in damage control and return to port, he goes AWOL, and is never seen again.

Since I have started moving that officer to quarters prior to docking, he hasnt gone on a bender since. Just use good handcuffs when you restrict him to quarters...lol.

I think SH3 Commander fixes this problem (?) because a coupla patrols ago I'm sure I left my damage control team "on duty" and everybody was present and accounted for when I went through my personnel list for the next patrol.
