Hi frankie
I have found that LSH3 does not like loading from the short cut keys.
Try this first and hopefully this should work ok.
You must always start the game from SH3Commander
Go directly to the SH3Commander folder and run the Commander.exe application from here as administrator.
Right click on the commander exe and go to properties and then compatibility to make it permanent if you have not already set it to run as administrator.

Your game loading problem is I would think down to the compatibility of not liking Win10.
If your SH5.exe does not like compatibility OS7 then try XP.
Make sure you are running in administrator mode.
The fact that you have had some success is just about finding the right mode.
I am running OS10 with the SH3.exe set as OS7 with no problems after dozens of game loadings

I've tried in Xp compatibility and same thing, I first went into sh3 commander, set up a player name, launched the game then played the academy to set up the v15 folder which is shown in documents so all ok, then after coming out of the game I go back into commander expecting to see the player name still there the name is not there, I click new career, start the game then click on the player name I previously set up, playing academy is no problem but still cannot start a career

I fine I can play a career without a problem as the std game, issue starts when I use jsgme mod to LSH3 which is what I really want play in

Hi frankie
If you set up the 2 mods I mentioned in the previous post and started the game with SH3Commander when you loaded the game to the main menu to start the naval Academy you should have seen your captain's name there.

After the Naval Academy you can enable more mods.
When you go back to Commander you still need to click on New Career as you have not started it as such as the Naval Academy is part of SH3.
You should then see your Captains name when the game loads to the main menu.

Ok here is what I,m doing

1 open up SH commander and creat a player name and start game
2 play a mission in the academy
3 get out of game and go back into SH Commander. The name I created isn't there so start the game
4 click on the name I created and start a career, mission start and finish is at Stralund (think that's how its spell) this is where the game freezes after the bottom red line is all the way across...... sooooooo close

You say "freezes". Does it crash to desktop, or does it just sit there? If it just sits there, give it some time. Depending on the mod load I've had it take as much as five minutes to load...but it does load.

It doesn't crash to desktop just sits there, will give a 10 minute wait to see if it does, gone away and came back and still frozen but will leave for longer

Hi frankie
When you say it is a freeze how long in minutes would you say you are allowing before you think it is no longer loading?
What mods are you using?
Post #9 JSGME How To Export Your Mod List To A Subsim Post
Go to your v15 folder\data\cfg\careers and delete any career names.
Reboot your system.
Start the SH3Commander application from the main folder.
Select a new Career name.
Start the game.
At the menu select new career.
When the game loads to the office click on the map.
Depending on your system it can take 5 or 6 minutes to load the game.

If this does not work then the fact that you have another freeze or ctd will be a compatibility issue.
Your gpu needs to be 2gb or greater or if you are using a laptop with an integrated gpu this can also be a problem too.
The fact that the freeze happens when trying to load usually right at the end of the line is not really any different to a ctd, something is not right and it is telling you.
Were you able to load the Naval Academy with the 2 mods installed without any loading problems or glitches?
Did you actually try say the Navigation Tutorial to see if all the controls etc, were looking ok and everything was in the right place?

I have never had a ctd in the game but I had numerous game loading crashes in all sorts of places before I found the right compatibility.
Sometimes I could reload the game straight away and it would load without any problems.

Thanks for all you help and patience, you have been great getting me to this point

Steve, thanks for the tip a about waiting.

It appeared to be frozen as it stuck on the max red line for ages but guess what, after 9mins 10 secs it started!!!!!! I,m back in the game woohooooo

I have been playing SH3 for years with mods , sh4 isn't as good in my opinion, SH5 is eye candy but horrible to play as I just cannot get into it so keep coming back to sh3. And now I can play it once again on win 10.

A very happy bunny . Just one thing, how do I get out the harbour, all the locks are closed!!!,
