More Save File Problems

Penelope_Grey · 05-13-07, 11:34 AM

I can't believe how this game likes to screw me over whenever I get a good run on it. I cannot reload any of my latest save files because they result in a crash. I get so far as the "Not So Long Ago..." screen, then it goes black.... and then hey presto I am back to Windows.

Which means, I have to now restart my latest patrol which I am none to pleased about. I saved on the surface, granted I may have beeen still a bit close to the convoy but I don't know what else to say. This was one of my best patrols ever, 30,000 tons and only 6 torpedoes used! I could have gone on to rack up well over 50,000 luck permitting but because of a crappy save game feature I will never know.

What I do know is, I am very upset.

I had a similar problem with a career started pre-GWX 1.03. Once I got rid of all the careers started before installing 10.3 everything's been running well. Hope you resi;ve you problem quickly

I doubt it.

I have no earthly idea how to resolve it.

Did you you check the windspeed settings on the campaign files ?
Sometimes they can be set to 0

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Campaigns\Campa ign

Open all 3 .mis files with notepad and check this area

Hour=12
Minute=0
Fog=1
FogRand=1
Clouds=1
CloudsRand=1
Precip=1
PrecipRand=1
WindHeading=0
WindSpeed=4.000000
WindRand=1
WeatherRndInterval=6
SeaType=0

Hey woolz.

Yes I make sure my windspeed is not 0, usually I just put it to 2, so you say I should put it as 4. six zeros henceforth?

Well its 4 as default on the GWX files
You set as you want to Pen
