Does this only happen with campaign saves or also with single player and tutorial mission?

Avon uses a special method to save missions:

So if itÂ´s really just a broken campaign save you should use that method from now on.

Gizzmoe I believe you are trying to be helpfull, after uninstall & reinstall,patrol will not load,witts end! I looked at AVON'S Post.Can't SAVE if you can't get on patrol.Avon,might be the only one able to play this unstable, conflicting,and frustrating piece of eye candy.Took me a while to think of something nice.

Gizzmoe · 10-17-05, 01:58 AM

Try it with an in-port save. If you havenÂ´t the same exact mods installed after reinstalling SH3 patrol saves usually donÂ´t work.

Gizzmoe · 10-17-05, 02:11 AM

Or is it that even a new campaign doesnÂ´t work? You really should give some more details, I hate guessing games...

donut · 10-17-05, 02:21 AM

you got that right,new campain won't load.red bar freezes 15mm from end of loaded. I spell poorly, speaking american OK

Gizzmoe · 10-17-05, 02:25 AM

Ok. Uninstall it again and this time not only delete the main SH3 dir but also mydocuments\sh3 (if you havenÂ´t done that already the last time youÂ´ve reinstalled it).

donut · 10-17-05, 02:44 AM

I did that. 10 times,dosen't fix! with or without patch 1.4b some authorities from UBI could be some assistance.

Gizzmoe · 10-17-05, 02:49 AM

Have you already tried to disable all background programs, like antivirus, firewall, ICQ? Also scan for spyware (use Ad-Aware and Spybot) and viruses.

Also, do you reboot the PC regularly? I hope youÂ´re not one of those guys who donÂ´t reboot their PC for a week or so...

donut · 10-17-05, 02:55 AM

yes,not to be short.I have tryed everything short of sys recovery !

I don't know what to tell you. Things that come to mind are:

- Bad RAM memory.
- Bad video or audio drivers. Often the latest isn't the greatest.
- Viruses, trojans, adware.
- Bad hard disk sectors.
- Too small a Windows virtual memory swap file.

You either create a bootdisk or download the ISO image to make a bootable CD.
