Firs Patrol Done, But with Problems (need help please!)

I can only guess... is it possible that the rough seas stole your credit? Was it calm or stormy? Did you watch the ships sink?

yes sea was really rough but I wached them and you can see the pictures that I posted above but something is wrong as you can see I really dont understand even I sunk 2. merchant under heavy fog without any visual contact...

Oh boy... I am sorry. This was your 1st patrol.

Did you make any upgrades before you left port? There is a bug that if you do (make upgrades), you are creditless for any kills that mission.

Didnt see the screenies 1st time around my bad.

I've heard that that can cause some problems with the renown earned

edit: I need to practice my fast typing

No I am totally sure I didn't made any changes or modifications on my boat before my 1. patrol

This really sucks

First my saves gone, now I started a new career and I can't get any renown...

Not just Upgrades but Crew assignments too.

For your very first patrol in any new career it is best to just load straight into the game and then exit immediately. If you use SH3 Commander you can set your Days in Base to 1 to minimize the impact of this.

This bug only affects your first patrol and all other should be fine.

Don't be. It was only your first patrol, there are many more to come.

Also, if you really want the Renown, you can manually add it to your record by editing the Patrol_0.cfg file found in your save folder in My Documents. Edit the Delta Renown value at the end of the file and you will have that amount when you reload.....

If you want new crew members before your 1st patrol pick the ones who have a renown value of 0. I do this frequently & haven't had any problems with that bug (to date).

I don't know for sure if this is the cause of the no renown issue. But did you start in august '39. The english do not become enemy before a day or so in september. You would probably be lucky if those kills were not 'credited' to you in august. As you would have violated the rules of engagement. Are you sure it was an enemy? What flag did it carry? Doesn't every ship sunk show up with a red icon on the map?

you can see the ships at pictures they were carrying British merchant flags and you can see the sunk dates and record on my patrol log book they were valid British enemy merchants and they marked as red on my nav. map...
