Problem Ending 2nd Patrol - GWX 1.03 Campaign

Acorn Minor · 05-14-07, 12:08 AM

Hello fellow submariners,

I'm at the end of my 2nd patrol during a GWX 1.03 campaign. I've made it to Wilhelmshaven (my home port for the campaign), but now the "Exit Patrol" is greyed out. I've left the harbour and re-entered twice and nothing changes. I've just gone into Cuxhaven, and still the same thing happens.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,

Tim.

what realism settings? also you must be within 25 KM of any port in order to exit patrol at 100% real

Thanks for your reply, Golden Rivet. I'm on 100% - but the "Exit Patrol" was greyed out while I was actually inside (not just within 25 km of) Wilhelmshaven and Cuxhaven harbours!

You can't teleport back to base at 100% realism setting

Thanks for your post Jimbuna, but I'm not trying to "teleport" ... I actually completed the assigned mission and afterwards reached Wilhelmshaven but then I experienced the problems described above.

In the interim, using the last saved game, I tried to end the mission within the 25 km radius, but outside the immediate vicinity of Wilhelmshaven harbour. It showed the "Exit Patrol" and I was able to do the awards, promotions, etc. However, after getting out of SH3 then re-entering it, the mission showed as "Dead" as if I had done a "teleport".

For some reason, it is like the game is not recognising Wilhelmshaven as the home end point, but treating me as I'm raiding an enemy port.

What date are you currently at? Has Wilhelmshaven been captured and your home base been changed?
