SH4 weird date bug

McBlemmen · 01-26-17, 05:05 AM

Hi all,

I just docked at pearl harbor somewhere in the 2nd half of December 1943, but when i start the next patrol it's suddenly July 1942....

I was dumb enough to make a hard save in base, and now whenever i load this hard save it always turns to July '42 when i start the next patrol , but when i load the autosave "on entering" and "on leaving" base, the calenadar on my desk reads July '42...

Any clue how to fix this? I have no other saves :S

Thanks

edit : In case it matters i'm using TMO 2.5

This is a bug I have encountered once after I transferred bases from the aleutians to pearl.

You can change the date of the in port save by editing the game file in documents/sh4/something/savegames or something like that find the career track file and edit all the currentdate lines as well as the patrolstartdatetime line.

Just in case make a copy of that file and put it somewhere safe before you go changing it though

I had a look in that file and changed PatrolStartDateTime in the CareerStatusLast section to 1944-01-01 and that did it

Thanks a lot.
