SH3 GWX3 + SH3 Commander Saved Game Nightmare

frau kaleun · 12-25-10, 08:53 PM

As Steve has noted, the corrupted save game problem exists in the stock game and is not a byproduct of GWX or Commander.

The starting point of zero degrees long/lat is also a known issue but for the life of me I can't remember if a specific cause has been pinned down... IIRC it has something to do with trying to start from a base or flotilla (or some combo of the two) that is historically inaccurate for the in-game date, leading to the game not knowing where to place you on the map. I could be wrong though.

Did you try to load a save from earlier in your career? If so I'm pretty sure the game will have automatically deleted every save made after it. Once that happens I think they are irretrievable. Also a stock game "feature."

No, I saved, exit, did some errands, came back to finish the patrol and there was no saves in the loading screen...

Then you didnt save correctly, or somehow deleted the files.

And the 0/0 bug put me south of West Africa once, right on 0/0.

GWX nor Commander screw with Saves.
That is a Stone Cold FACT.
1000's and 1000's of users can't be wrong.

Go to your SH3 folder in C\MyDocs and open up the file to view whatever name you gave the career for example 'jimbuna'....now rename it by adding an 'x' at the end of 'jimbuna' and your saves will reappear.

Damn it... I deleted that career... but it did work when it happened again.
Thanks.
