For analysis, I need to know the date, time

[Doolar]

OK, TYPE IIA 1st Flotilla-Keil
Patrol 1 - August 1, 1939 (exact time, unknown, but day light hours 10:00-18:00)
Patrol 2 - August 19, 1939 (exact time, unknown, but day light hours 10:00-18:00)
Patrol 3 - Sept. 1, 1939 (exact time, unknown, but day light hours 10:00-18:00)

I've just started a new career from 1st Flotilla-Keil with a TYPE IIA. (August 1, 1939 @ 18:38) Instead of sending a "Patrol Report" as soon as I leave the pier, I'm going to wait about 2 or 3 hours before sending my first "Patrol Report" and see what happens. If I still get the "Return to Base" message, I'll reinstall GWR22 and add 1 mod at a time and test each.

Hope this helps and I'll keep you posted. Like I said It's ONLY does this once, then works normally. Not really a deal breaker.

Sorry ... The actual message is ... "Severe Damages, Return to base as directed."

I see in your post : Line 2415: 4834=Severe damages! Return to base as directed.

Not sure what to do here

I'm pretty sure it's hardcoded into sh3.exe but what it's related to can't answer yet.

[Jeff-Groves]

That's an SH3 Commander message!

Nothing to do with SH3.exe.

Thanx all, this fix is above my pay grade. I'll just do a complete redue, including the download, roll the dice and see what happens. If it's still giving me a RTB message, then I don't knw what to try. I'd love to get GWR22 working.
