I cannot find any "SH3.exe" file in any LSH3 folder to be able to evaluate.
Can you direct me to better to find what is needed?
I retried both the Commander and the "straight' LSH3 load and both just disappeared after loading.
This is awful!

You might not have file extensions visible in your File Explorer. That option is "off" in Windows by default. There are two files in the SH3 install folder that are named "SH3". The first is "SH3.dll", which will have a little icon with a couple of cogged gears as the illustration. The "SH3.exe" file will have an icon with "SH3" in a red font, on a dark greenish background, with a tiny TypeVII sub (??) in the lower right corner of the icon. Not the easiest thing to see. So choose the red icon with a right-click, and then left-click on "Properties" at the bottom of the resultant context menu, and on the first page it opens to, which is the "General" tab, you will see an "Attributes" section near the bottom with a "Read-only" tick box, which should be empty. If there is a checkmark in that little white box, click on it to clear it, and then click OK to get out of there Now try to run the 4Gig Patch and choose that same SH3.exe file in that same folder as your "target" for the patch.

Not being able to open a Saved game after several tries usually means it is corrupt. It does sometimes take a few attempts at loading to get some Saves to come up. Also, some Saves will "disappear" as you attempt to use others. You should get a little pop-up warning when it goes to do that. As for applying promotions and awards to your crew, I am not familiar enough with that in SH3 to advise, and I do not remember why certain messages come up concerning it. I usually skip the process. Let them eat cake...

Probeanie:
thanks for the reply, but...
1. I find only one SH3 file and that is the SH3.dll file. There is no SH3.exe file with a red font or small submarine or anything else.
2. I went to File extensions, selected yes to turn on file extensions. Nada.
3. as for multiple attempts to try to open the saved files, I have done so too many times to count. Everything 'loads' through the "To the fallen comrades" and then clears to desktop.
This is nuts.

Hi Archive1 maybe your LSH-2022 has been corupted if files are missing then you may need to reinstall eveything but you can retreive your campaign career files in your documents you will have a Folder called V2C or something similar thats where your LSH-2022 Career patrol saves are kept.
I would copy and paste that folder to somewhere different like in your pictures or music folder uninstall LSH-2022 completly then reinstall SH3 check if you have the SH3.exe and the SH3.dll.
Then take stock SH3 for a test run to ensure it is working as it should then install LSH-2022 Career version ensure you name your career save folder same as the one you moved to your pictures folder do a test run with the built in Commander mod with same Kapitans name to see if LSH-2022 runs if all is ok then replace your default V2C LSH-2022 career Folder in your documents with the saved one you moved to your pictures or music folder then you should be up and running once again if your LSH-2022 new install crashes when you load your last at sea mid patrol save then i would load the start of that patrol save when you were back in port ok.








hope this gets you squared away also check the PM I sent you it will help you some Sir

So I have been having some fun with the LSH3 2022 Commander mod, and apart from some crashes and mid-patrol saves being sorta iffy, it works for the most part! Unfortunately I have some issues with the in-game U-Boat Management tab, i.e. trying to swap all my T1 torps for T2s. It doesn't seem to save my 'loadout' apart from upgrading my Hydrophone (currently in a IXB Dec. 25 ) so whenever I start the patrol, it only gives me like 4 T2s for some reason... Anyone else having this issue?
