GWX 2 problems

[iccalm]

1: Stopped in Lorient on way south to refuel/reload. Set SH3 Commander to 1 day in port before arriving. Left Lorient, Mission area now NULL. All saves with NULL assignment will not load.

2: Just sunk Passenger/Cargo. 12,000 + tons, right? Credited with 2140 tons.

Not sure, but I think there´s a small merchant ship that´s tagged like that. So the 2140tons sounds correct.

yep passenger\cargo is around 2140
Its not a liner

When you say set time in port before arriving
Was that after your patrol started ?

Sh3commander recognises when you are at a friendly port\resupply vessel and auto sets the days in base to one

NEVER make changes mid patrol or you screw up the patrol
ALWAYS make changes while in port

Standard SH3 behaviour. You'll get a NULL patrol grid assignment whenever you stop at a friendly base. Not really a problem if you refuel *after* you've met your objectives, ie on the way home, as you know where you are going plus you have the awarded renown.

SH3Cmdr sometimes allows it to be corrected, and there's also SH3Patrol which lets you correct it too.

Why they no longer load is a different matter, and usually one reflective, as BBW says, of making game file changes whilst at sea.
