HI THERE HAVE YOU USED ANY MODS IN YOUR GAME A YEAR AGO & ARE NOT ACTIVE NOW WHEN YOU REACTIVE YOUR CAMPAIGN GAME YOU HAVE TO HAVE SAME MOD SETUP & IN THE SAME ORDER OR IT CRASHES IVE HAD EXPERIANCE OF THIS AT THE STEEL SHARKS MAKE A COPY OF YOUR SH3 FOLDER IN YOUR DOCUMENTS WHERE YOUR CAMPAIGN CAREER IS BEST TO HAVE A BACKUP
IF YOU CANT REMEMBER ALL YOUR MODS YOU USED TRY THIS JUST RUN YOU CAMPAIGN WITHOUT THE COMMANDER MOD JUST RUN YOUR SH3/GWX
& SEE IF THAT WORKS IF IT DOES & YOU CAN GET IN YOUR GAME & YOUR IN MID PATROL OR IN PORT SAVE THEN EXIT THEN RESTART BUT THIS TIME WITH THE COMMANDER MOD

HOPE THIS HELPS

Thanks for the help! My Mods are exactly the same....I have not touched JGSME since the last time I played. I know what issue you are talking about....my comp is not crashing it is just not showing my past career when you go in to the career section of SH3 or Commander.

Thanks! This really has me baffled. None of the files relating to SH3 or any mods have been touched since the last time I played. It is odd because all of my past careers are gone????

IN YOUR SH3 CARRIERS SAVES FOLDER IN YOUR DOCUMENTS WHEN YOU CLICK ON DATA CONFIG CARRIERS DO YOUR UBOAT KAPITANS SHOW UP IN NAMED FOLDERS
WITH YOUR UBOATS KAPITANS NAME IF THERES NO KAPITANS FOLDERS THERE THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO START AGAIN I KNOW IT SUCKS
WHEN YOUR UPTO MAY-1944 & YOU STARTED IN SEPT-1939 40 PATROLS PLUS
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SH3 FOLDER THEN YOU HAVE A FALL BACK
IF YOUR CARRIER TAKES A DUMP

I went to data then cfg file and there is no file named carrier at all. Is there any way to bring it back with commander? and if not....when I start a new career will this carrier file get created again?

FYI i was about 114 months into my career like you were referring to.

Thanks for your help on this!!! Really appreciate it!!

IF IT DONT SHOW UP THEN ITS LOST UNLESS YOU HAVE SAVED YOUR SH3 FOLDER ON USB DRIVE OR ITS SAVED SOMEWHERE ELSE

STARTING AGAIN
RUN STOCK GAME FIRST THEN IT CREATES YOUR NEW SH3 CARRIER FOLDER THEN RUN COMMANDER MOD WHEN YOU SETUP YOUR NEW KAPITAN & PICK YOUR CREW & SET UP COMMANDER MOD WHEN YOU CHANGE ANY SETTING IN THE COMMANDER MOD ALWAYS CLICK APPLY
FOR EACH SETTING YOU CHANGE EG WAVE HIEGHT SEASONAL CLICK APPLY DAYS IN PORT IF YOU CHANGE IT FROM 28 DAYS YOU NEED TO CLICK APPLY YOU ALWAYS START ON FIRST OF MONTH WHAT EVER YEAR YOU START ALSO NEVER SAVE YOUR GAME SUBMERGED OR NEAR LAND
ANOTHER TIP SAVE YOUR GAME EVERY 2 DAYS OF CAMPAIGN GAME SAVE NAME YOUR WARDATE OF THAT SAVE 10-9-39 SO YOU KNOW WHAT WARDATE THAT SAVE EQUATES TO

REGARDS Blackswan40 HAPPY HUNTING

PS WELCOME BACK
