Entire Career Disappearing...

If you check the SS archive you will find reports of identical issues dating back over three years by not only SH3 Commander users but also by non users.

I also doubt JScones will appreciate the implied connection

JScones work is great , not my intention to offend here.

However, my experience is different.

Here some advice to someone else: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...55&postcount=7

Maybe it depends the sort of game you're running: GWX, NYGM, LSH or WAC.

For instance, I cannot use SH3 Commander with WAC. I really did everything to make it work. Results CTD's.

Your solution with rename "x" added to the career name is correct. But dear Jim, sometimes, even the "x" don't work.

I should have made myself clearer in that my previous post was only in relation to stock/vanilla and GWX installations.

I've yet to be informed the 'x' solution failed to work TBH

The above solution has the added benefit of continuing to allow you to enjoy the additional benefits afforded you by Commander.......loading the game from the root folder via the exe means you lose said benefits.

Jim, my last patrol (WAC) loading my last save ... and a CTD. Used the "x" and it worked again. Puzzle?

As I stated earlier.....in stock/vanilla and GWX it should always work.

Currently I don't have WAC or LSH installed so I've no idea what would and wouldn't work with them.

I'm not running any mods. I'll try the 'x' solution, thanks everyone.

I was having the same problem and searched the forum to see if others had encountered this issue. Glad to find this thread. Using GWX 3.0 Gold and SH3 Cmdr with a couple of graphic mods. I added the "x" at the end of my career folder name and launched SH3Cmdr again and was able to find my career save games within SH3. Thanks for the thread and information!

FWIW I worked closely with the GWX, NYGM and LSH teams to ensure that their users could use SH3Cmdr with their mods. Accordingly, each one comes with a unique set of config files that the user installs into SH3Cmdr to make their mod and SH3Cmdr 100% compatible.

HanSolo (WAC) never responded to my offers of assistance. Accordingly, if you run WAC and use SH3Cmdr, you need to seek guidance from HanSolo. I stress that any CTDs you get whilst attempting to run SH3Cmdr with WAC are most likely caused by the WAC team not providing updated compatibility files for SH3Cmdr (notwitstanding CTDs caused by incorrect installation etc). That's their call of course, so WAC users need to keep that it mind if indeed WAC hasn't been tested with SH3Cmdr.

Thus your comment above has no relationship at all to your save game issue.

If you're adamant that your save game issue is caused by SH3Cmdr, then I can only recommend that you cease using it.

As an aside, I have never "lost" a career...but I also don't have starforce...I wonder if there's a connection?

I don't think that if I contact HanSolo he would respond ... you did it and without any results.

Your program works great with GWX, NYGM and LSH3, I have tested them all ...

The CTD's from WAC are not only with SH3 Commander, even when playing the game 'normal' (without MultiSH3) in the correct folder path e.g. C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII (WAC is unfortunately buggy).

HanSolo (WAC) never responded to my offers of assistance.

It's a lack of respect to not respond.

Indeed, WAC users should not use SH3 Commander because it will not work.

Keep up the good work, because SH3 Commander is great!

EDIT: and JSGME too!
