I will try your advises one by one.


One more question: The fact that I don't save my career in the middle of the sea, exit and then run again SH3 has anything to do with my problem? Last night came to my mind that many years ago we used to launch our first patrol, then when at open sea far from land, at least 50 km away, we saved and exit and then launch the game again. Can't remember the reason for doing this, but also recall that I used to have no issues...


I will let you know how things are doing with the process.

Doing saves near to land, or other units.. even friendlies... would sometimes end up with nasty, messy save game corruption.. on that I do know of.. don't seem to recall having to reload the save after doing a save... could be as a spot check to ensure that the save was NOT corrupted... which, upon thinking about it.. does make sense.

Did foget 1 additional piece of info in My previous post.. I've since edited it so might be a good thing to reread it... got a bit ahead of Myself in posting it.

To make it easy to notice, I did highlight it a bit... hopefully NOT too much...

Something no one has mentioned yet: On what date did you start your patrol? GWX lets you start your career on August 1st, or one month before the war. This is because some boats were sent out on August 19th, in preparation for the war. In your case you returned from that patrol two weeks before the war even started. GWX will automatically default to Königsberg until the 1st of September when the 7th Flotilla moves to Kiel.

As was pointed out earlier SH3 Commander can fix all these problems.

Just f.y.i here, LSH3-2015 (which does include SH3Commander in the install of it, without having to do so separately...which to Me, is a BIG +++ factor...), also has it included of being able to start as early as GWX does.. and handles the change of flotilla moves too... I know that there is NOT as many ardent supporters for this mega, as there are for GWX... though, it would be grand if there was a mega that took all the best of each out there & merged them into 1 comprehensive mega... ( though, it still remains to be seen just what the anticipated release of LSH3-2020..tentative name association of its pending release sometime this year, by reports.. still to be confirmed yet.. brings to the table, with regards to things SH3 wise, which was mentioned by the creator/lead of it, here:

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...postcount=1393 )

Getting back to the meat of the subject...

SH3Commander is a must have, in My opinion & HIGHLY recommended.

Hope this info, along with others info, helps...

MM, Also, thanks for the advice. I will run SH3 Commander as soon as I am confident everything else will run smoothly. I will give it a try of course to star my 2nd patrol, I guess.

Wondering if there was any success on the issue resolution or if it still persists...

Since there is ''no'' radio comm chatter, unless otherwise stated, am going to assume sub loss status ( meaning issue resolved, which is a good thing ) unless an sos, goes up the flag... in which case, shall answer that call, as best I can.

SS:
Thanks a lot for mentioning that detail... Perhaps there is the node of the whole problem...
I am sent to sea in my first patrol on August 1st, 1939 and I return to Wilhelmshafen 12-15 days later after maneuvering at sea and doing all kinds of exercises. I will extend my first patrol so I return to my home base (Wilhelmshafen) after Sept. 30.
Let's hope this fixes the issue.
That fact of the date never crossed my mind...


Will let you know the results.
