GWX 2.0 - how it's possible ?

mariuszj1939 · 02-02-08, 04:56 PM

I played GWX 2.0 for a while and today once again cannot load saved game. Crashed all the time - after a while I saw it :

The same happened once before.
Saved game's date is older than date "in base before mission" !!!

Any help ? Sometimes I have to save game during long successful patrol !

I have always been very leary of savegames with SH3... there are a lot of known and unknown issues associacted with saving games (saving too close to port, saving too close to other ships, wind/weather issue, saving while submerged) there are just too many little gotchas to make saving a game during a successful patrol worth it IMHO.

All of that said... i have NEVER experienced the crash dive of doom bug associated with saves, I have in fact, never had any adverse actions occur after saving or loading a game so i will be of little help here to you other than to say... if it can at all be avoided- never save... just finish out the patrol if possible is always the better option.

Thank you,

FYG - I have clean GWX 2.0 - no mods. This save was as any other my u-boot waited for next hunting night

.
I had no problem with saves in stock SH3, as well as, previous GWX.

How it was overwrote in files ?

I just experienced a system lock up ...

For the very first time EVER ... started a new career and on my 2nd patrol ... I saved game WHILE submerged ... now it loads to a point then it locks up ...

I have a clean install of SH III patched , GWX 2.0 , SH Commander and JCWolfs U-BOAT 1.2 ... I have never had a system lock up before with this sim and this is the first time that I've ever saved while submerged so ... :hmm:

I suppose I'll have to start all OVER ...

there are 5 things a man should never do

1. Never allow your Proton Packs to cross the streams "try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaniously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light"

2. Never piss in the wind

3. Never go in against a sicilian when death is on the line!

4. Never feed your mogwai after midnight (or get him wet)

5. Never EVER Save while submerged!!!!!!!

mariuszj1939: How come your last save is dated January 30, and the previous one is Februrary 2? :hmm: Did you mess with it, like copy paste and so on?
