Huston we got a problem

Kristinn · 06-28-08, 04:02 PM

Hi guys I’m having a problem with my Silent Hunter III.
I recently installed GWX 2.1 and I’m in my third mission (okt. 1939) and I have just sunk a battleship (Queen Elizabeth type) in a foggy weather very close range <400 m with a heavy bombing noise.
Just after the sinking I had to go, so I saved the game but I have not been able to get in to it again.

The program seems to be working OK but just be fore the text “Not so long ago . . . “ should disappear I get a massage box with the following massage

SilentHunter 3: she3.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x004ba5ea" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The
memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.

Has anyone seen this problem before ?

Yup, that's why I joined the forum. I had the exact same problem.

Im sorry to say this, but you fallen victim to the Save Game Bug. It mostly occures when you save near a ship, land, or submerged. Altough this isin't a rule, it's safer to save while on the surface, away from land, and no ships in sight.

And before you ask, that save is propably gone for good. But try loading an earlier one, maybe you'll get lucky and manage to restore at least some progress.

Again, sorry to hear that. I lost a HMS Rodney (30.000 tones) due to this bug.

KeptinCranky · 06-28-08, 07:39 PM

Ah yes, strangely this bug almost never occurs when nothing has happened during the patrol, although sometimes even then it goes wrong.

Lightstalker's advise is good, don't save near land, ships, submerged, also don't save within say 50km of a ship you just sunk or it may reappear, and then not be worth any credit when you sink it again....

SH3 is quirky sometimes...

With that out of the way, Welcome to the forum Kaleun Kristinn

don't let the bugs get you down, enjoy the GWXperience, go out there and sink them all

Many things in life can't be repeated, once gone.
This is one of them.

It's :
Houston, we got a problem.
Looks like your O2 tanks need a spelllar chekar.

Geez.

Save your game, go back, run it for a few minutes, save again. IF you have a CTD return to the earlir save, you lose only a few minutes game time.

Bet Firefox 3.0 can NOT handle this situation:

Wanted to type in:
"I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse"

Accidently typed in as:
"I helped my uncle jack off a horse"

Can it handle that, Rifleman?

The Spelling seems fine in both cases, egh?

:p

Well, if we're going to be that picky, it's "Houston, we've had a problem."

Did you know that early in the 20th century, there was a gadget sold under the trade name of "Dan Patch" that would keep an horse from masturbating? It would be attached on Sunday when the family rode the wagon to church.
That would stop that nasty Uncle Jack!
