I left St.Nazaire on 22 Sept. 1940 ...

Funny how this post came up, I've just experienced the same thing. In my patrol, I left Breast for AE77. That's just a tad SW of Iceland. I'm aware it's far north and it was July. All was good until I took a cruse to the north side of Iceland. At that point my daylight hours started at 1630 and ended at 2330 and stayed that way until I finished the patrol in September. I had a lot of success in the BE and BF grids after hanging around Iceland and moving south, so head'n home was not an option. It was still messed up. I was in the northern latitudes for about 50 days and never go above 64x. I'm also using GWX3. I've only experienced this 1 other time, many patrols and many years ago. After docking and ending that patrol, I started another patrol and all was good. The day/night times must have reset or something. This is only the 2nd time I've had this happen. I wounder if it had something to do with the arctic day/night cycle in summer months for extended periods of time. Just'a thought.

With me it's happening with CCoM10, right now ...

So, this what I do, when I want to take a break from playing and want the weather to stay the way it is when I restart and to ensure, that the damage on previously torpedoed ships remains and is still there, after I load the game again:

I save the game and return to the menue BUT I don't exit the game. I merely, go back to the Windows desktop and turn the PC to Hibernate.

This way, all I have to do to restart the game is resume the PC from hibernation and load the last game save.

This also, seems to reduce the probability of "Malfunction & Sabotage" from the Sh3_Cmdr.

Naturally, I do not use this practice, when I take a break from playing for an extended period of time.

I do wonder though, if this practice of mine, may contribute to the shifting sunrise/sunset "problem" ...

I haf to admit, I'm a little heavy on the "pause" I've pause SHIII over nite many times. Never in all my years have I experienced a crash or any problems with the game. I save every 3 game days and after tonnage. I shut everything down and restart every other save.

I save every day at 12:00 and 24:00 and in between time, after any ship sinking etc. but continue until a good time to leave the game, i.e., mid ocean, no other ships around, surfaced ...

This is a known issue on SH4. The problem arises when you play the game with high framerates. The higher you go the worse it gets. Locking SH4 at 30 fps fixes the problem. Perhaps SH3 is the same way?

Tried finding the thread where guys were discussing it but not having any luck.
