You only need to apply the one 1.4b patch. Not all four.

Certainly this game came out of the box incomplete. However it cetainly isn't a piece of "SH*T". dudtorpedo, I would suggest patching and using strict saving rules to avoid issues. One of the benefits of SubSim is that we've wrestled with the bugs and limitations of SH3 since release and its much easier for newbies to the game to get under way. Though if you've played AoD I'm sure you're no noob.

Just patch, be careful where you save and explore modding options. By many people's estimation even stock patched this game is nearly unplayable after they've tried The Grey Wolves Mod, or NYGM.

Both major mods not only add content that is otherwise absent but also bring a new level of realism to the game and fix a few other bugs along the way.

The game is playable without mods i never got that bug 'dudtorpedo' spoke of, only real trouble i always use to have apart from a few minor bugs was updating to the 1.4 patch but once thats installed, the game was okay - now after playing GW the stock game is very noobish. One bug i'll never forget is if a destroyer ran over me while at periscope depth it would sink. And i would survive! :rotfl: :rotfl:

dudtopedo start up a new campaign in another port and see how you go, once you got the hang of the game then try out Greywolves 1.1a and then your know what its like to be hunted

Nice Title ...COUGH*NOT*COUGH

Lesson Number 1: DONT SAVE IN PATROL
Especialy NOT while beeing attacked!
Especialy NOT Submerged
Especialy NOT in really bad wheater

If you really NEED to save then:
be on surface , go slow forward and wait till the sea turns calm
then you have a lesser risk of getting a Bugged patrol when you reload the game.

FYI : I never had a problem with my Save/Load function. when I do the things above

I have had very few of the problems you're ranting about, dudtorpedo, and I don't hate it a bit. Sorry you have nothing but problems.

Start a new career but take a little respectful advice 'dudtorpedo'....read through this forum first and heed some of the advice stored within

I think that even without the patches (my HDD just crashed so while I'm waiting for RMA I'm using a small one to get my SH3 fix) it isn't that bad.

It sounds like you were just unlucky.
