I reloaded SH3 with all the mods i was used to, except one :

TheDarkWaith_DC_Water_Disturbance_V4_SH3

I sunk two ships and evaded ; I made one save with the ships sunk within 10 kilometers, and one far way later.

I reloaded the first save (within 10Km) : Game loaded fine !!
I reloaded the second saved game : Game loaded fine !!

So, for me, it seems that particular mod is the culprit, BUT :

After reloaded the second saved game, i decided to go over my patrol and sank a few ships ( 3 in another convoy) and an other lonely ship later in the patrol. After that last hit, i saved and quit the game.

Today, i reload SH3 and load that last saved game : Crash at the "Not so long ago "

This time, i do nothing and reload SH3 but i choose a saved game just before the last and : Game load fine ( The state of the game is after the second convoy was hit by me, at about 12 Kms of the ships i killed.


So, i don't know what to think .. Things are definitely better for me without this particular mod, but not "perfect"

I will continue testing but it takes so much time !! But i just don't want to give up, not yet

The next mod which i will remove is " TheDarkWaith_Ship_Plane" and see what happens.

Next ship i sink, i will stay within visual range and save the game.

What mod is this?? -> " TheDarkWaith_Ship_Plane" ???

TheDarkWraith_Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage_V1_4_SH3 mod. It allows ships and planes to take damage from fires. Excellent mod. One cool thing about it is that you never know if the fires are actually causing damage to the ships are not. On top of that you still get credit for the sinking.

Can anyone confirm this? I'm curious as to what the actual number is.

The easiest way to ensure what the distance is is to launch at Kiel, then go to external view using Shift to move fast, and follow the canal all the way up until the end of the map. Then find that end point on the nav map, and see what the distance is from there to the boat.
