Okay, what'd I do?

Did you tick Save and Exit or End patrol right before leaving game ?

frau kaleun · 01-22-10, 09:24 PM

Um... I dunno? Lol.

I completed the mission objectives, hit Esc, clicked return to base, and IIRC clicked Save first. Then I think I clicked Save and Exit to get out. It was the first time I'd ever had anything I *wanted* to save, so I'm not exactly sure what I did since I hadn't been through that procedure before.

But the patrol and the career were definitely saved at the point I exited the game, as far as I can tell, because all the correct info for both is there in both SH3 and in Commander. I could go into the game (whether using Commander or not) and choose career mode and that saved career, just couldn't get it to load so I could actually start playing. I couldn't load a career OR a single mission with all those mods enabled the way I had them set up.

Since I disabled all the mods but the first one on the list above, I can go back in and load the last save from that career and go successfully right back into it, loading the save that has me in base after completing the first patrol, and start a second patrol on the date that corresponds to the "time in base" option I selected in Commander. I've tried that and it loads the career fine and starts out with me in position to take the boat out of the harbour for the next patrol.

Looking at the list of mods I had enabled, does the Das Boot Clothes mod conflict with the No Medals on Crew mod? Just wondering since they're both doing something to the appearance of the crew in-game.

I also have some other mods in the MODS folder, they just weren't enabled at the time the errors were occuring. But I had enabled and disabled some of them prior to disabling all mods before starting the current career, and then re-enabled the ones I wanted after I got the first patrol completed and saved. I don't know if that makes any difference.

It's not a good idea to save and then swap mods around eeven if you come back to port.

Better to do a clean exit.

Shcommander will show if you are back in base or in a save I think.

I hate it not knowing for sure.

Good Luck frau.k.

Yes that's right Firewall. Commander tells me my captain is either
In base before patrol2
or
At sea during patrol 3.
Obviously I make sure it's the former for enabling mods.

It sounds like you are doing everything right.
The only thing I can suggest is maybe enable the mods one at a time. The first one that crashes the game may be corrupt, try re downloading it.

One other thing. The St Naz mod to be enabled before Von Dos ships is

GWX_3StNaz+Schluese+shipsV4.7
