Save and exit

I noticed that this feature has ruined two campaigns of mine because when im going to load there is not one single save. Im using GWX does anyone noticed this?

I've done it quite some times, never found any trouble with mid-patrol save&exits...

Hope it doesn't happen to me now, as the patrol I've just saved has 29000 tons of merchants sunk and a southampton light cruiser I got in a convoy attack in the roughest of the seas...

I have never run across this problem. Are you sure you're giving your saves a name when you exit, and clicking "OK" instead of "Cancel"?

Playing Patched Vanilla...

This happened to me once... I started up SHIII the next day & my entire career was gone... Poof... I was told at the time that it was a glitch w/ the original SHIII. Hasn't happened since though..

It is a glitch with the stock game, GWX has nothing to do with it. I just had this problem the other day. The only way I was able to solve it was to go into C:\My Documents and Settings\<Logged on user name>\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers and rename the carrer folder in question. You then have to leave it that way and all the saves will be back (provided the .SAV files are in there in the first place).

Never happened to me but just in case I always make two saves when I exit game : one normal "save" function , then "continue" to get back in game, then make a second with "save and exit".

You only have to rename the career folder? Not the saves names to?
