I'm pretty much just guessing, according to what you've posted, BUT....

1.) It may be that your first campaign reloads using previous settings - the setting that were changed by Wolfenstein.
2.) If you're using Windows XP, you could try SYSTEM RESTORE. Select a period of time AFTER you installed all your mods, but BEFORE you installed Wolfenstein. This way, it'll reset your previous parameters to what they were and your first campaign should work properly once again. Since you RESTORED at a point after you had installed all your mods, you won't have to reinstall them.

If ya have System Restore on you can do a roll back to before you installed Wolfinstein. When the crap hits the fan for me i usually do a 24hr roll back, if its serious i do a reformat. lol.

In your case a roll back would do.

Edit: Whoops just realised Kingcobra24 already mentioned this.

LOL

Great minds think alike!

Thanks!!!!

I started playing another guy, this time on 100% realism, and when I went back to play him, today, all his files were gone!!

Yeah, I'm on Windows XP. I'll try that system restore thingie

EDIT: GAH!! It didn't work!! I guess that career's gone, then.

Though, really, I'm almost wondering if I should try to continue the career thing, as it would seem that both guys I have tried were lost even before the end of 2 patrols.

OK, I give up. I started yet ANOTHER guy in the 1st. Flotilla, got him almost through the Kiel Canal on his first patrol. The game abruptly quits for reasons unknown, and when I come back and look in the "saved" career for the new guy, there's NOTHING there!!!!!

Three careers, gone. Just like that. While the game may be fun to play in single missions and such, it appears to me that the "meat" of it would be the campaign mode.

I probably won't buy SH4 if I can expect this kind of performance.

I may be stating the obvious, but have you tried a reinstall? Or alternatively you could try and install another SHIII then patch and add GW as follows:

"Rename the SilentHunterIII folder (the one in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft). Now put your DVD back in and click on install. Then click on repair and it will create another SilentHunterIII folder which you then patch to 1.4 and add mods etc".

Once you have done this and hopefully it then works without problems you can just delete the old installation folder.

May be worth a try, you never know it might just work.

Yeah, I had thought about it. I guess I'm just not in a good mood about it, right now.
