Okay, Plan B. Oh wait - I don't have a plan B. It should work. It did for me. I'm not sure what it could be.

I launched the game via shortcut, not via SH3 Commander. Maby that was the reason as "roll back changes" was set on SH3 Commander by default.

That'll do it. Commander only works when you load using Commander.

Slightly different question this time. Currently my U-45 is enroute to designated quadrant. So far I have sunk 12485 of British merchant shipping expending only 3 eels. After reporting my status I got a radio message addressed to a rather hefty amount of boats among which was mine. This message is directing some boats to go to Wilhelmshaven or Kiel and for some boats to report weather between 0300 and 0600. Should I make way to Kiel immediately without proceeding with my initial objectives or should I make way to Kiel once I reached the initial objectives and/or expended my torpedos/fuel?

Also just got another radio message ordering my boat to patrol north third between Iceland and Farroes. Should I drop my current objectives and patrol the designated area immediately? How will not completing initial objectives fare on my renown and career in general?

As has been stated in previous threads, those radio messages are eye candy only. Ignore them.

Initial objectives: Patrol grid XXXX for 24 hours. This was a holdover from the original plan for SH3, which was to have everything be mission-based. In real life you would be told to go to grid XXXX and stay there until ordered to move. You might stay an an empty grid for weeks and never see anything. Reaching your patrol grid will award you some extra renown in the stock game. In GWX it will not. Staying there for 24 hours would get you some extra renown in the stock game. In GWX it will not.

In the game you can pretty much do what you want. Orders mean next to nothing. As Gargamel said, most of the radio messages are there just to make you feel like you're not alone. On the other hand they do come from real radio messages sent during the war, so I always follow them, even if it means going somewhere there are no ships. It happended in real life. I do ignore the messages telling me my boat was sunk.
