Try it once more, just wait to save, (and you know you can't save while submerged). Give it one more shot. You'll be rewarded nicely.
I can't do that bud. Saving isn't part of being a u-boat commander and if I have to make decisions and perform actions based on game bugs and not on what submariners did then it kinda destroys the immersion factor for me.

The immersion is the thing for me and if I can't get the amount I want then the game goes to live in the cupboard. SH2 will keep it company, that game didn't even last this long before I decided the linear campaign was ludicrous.

Hold on, I'm sure you were complaining about not being able to load saves a minute ago, yet now you're saying that you don't want to save....??

I'm confused, you post with a problem and are given the well known solution but you are determined that despite that, you no longer want to play the game, even though you could easily enjoy it (and the ones in your cupboard most probably), if you were just prepared to follow some simple guidelines and workarounds.

What is it with these recent posts from people who obviously don't want to fix stuff, instead choosing to make pointless threads to rant about it. This place really isn't the place for you guys, I for one would rather read posts from people willing to accept help than just read constant whingeing.

The fix is there, use it, or don't, but don't paint the game in a bad light just because you refuse to compromise.

/rant.

Look sonny I didn't post a rant and I tried to make my post good humoured and went out of my way not to take a pop at modders who I believe are great guys, so don't accuse me of whinging.

The game shipped unfinished and that's a fact, if it hadn't then there wouldn't be a thriving modding community here, if it wasn't for their efforts then this game would probably be collecting dust on a lot more shelves.

Perhaps its time this thread ends. "Look sonny" is hardly friendly considering all the terrific suggestions you received.. As you said, for you its just time to shelve it and move on.

Look bud that guy accused me of whinging, when I wasn't doing anything of the sort.

I think the problem lies with SH3Cmdr and that's not a criticism of the program or the guy who made it it's an observation based on my own experience. I've also noticed other threads on here from people who have experienced the same thing but have been brow beaten into accepting it's something else.

I am now going to reload SH3 and GWX and play it without SH3Cmdr. If I get the same problem again then I'll hold my hand up and say that my assumption is wrong.

^ I'll ask the obvious as no one else has.

Do you have the GWX specific config files that need to be used with SH3 commander?

If not, get them from here: http://www.thegreywolves.com

Oh, and before JS gets here, I can assure you that there is nothing within SH3 Commander that could possibly cause the trouble you are having (short of user intervention).

Good luck in your tests.

Yeah, I've got the configs, I did it all exactly as I was told to.

Like I said, I played stock with no problems and I played GWX without problems, no other mods installed. It just seems logical to me that as the problems started after installing SH3Cmdr then it has to be prime suspect for now.

That's because the game industry treats gamers with contempt.
