Help! What version do I have?

New development! My last game will not load. I am just about ready to take this game CD and use it for skeet.

when saving, do not do it anywhere near ships,,,

SH3 is notorious for horrible saves. If one gets corrupted, I'm afraid all you can do is load the save before that.

As Gustav suggested, try not to save within 50 km of anything, including land. (Just to be safe) I always do a sonar/radar sweep before I save.

Wow, you guys must eat, drink and dream this game. For that I am thankful. I am at patrol 25 on my fourth SH3 carrer and so far so good. they only managed to kill me three times since GWX install. I never would have linked the saves being bad near objects. It is natural for me to save just prior to doing battle so I don't lose everything. I must rethink that plan.

On another note, Have the 1943 era torpedoes always had depth control problems? I set for one to one and a half meters below the draft of the intended target and and I still hit the chime or run too deep for the magnetic pistol even in calm seas.

By the way, I cannot leave this game alone. I built this computer just so I could play.

Well, we've been playing it for years. That helps somewhat.

And that means it won't be too long before you're helping people as well.

Welcome to the nuthouse!

Welcome Boatnik...good to see your enjoying the GWXperience

Enjoy it????? I cannot leave it alone. I just upgraded my flak weapons and can't figure out how to get all of them in play simultaineously. I had to shoot down a Sunderland myself with the 37mm. Also I did another mod prior to leaving the base and I got a "null" patrol. What do you guys normally do on a "null" patrol. I like sitting off Gibraltor and ambushing convoys.
