GWX deletes my careers

Kaleun_Saxi · 06-05-07, 06:47 AM

that would be lovely. Otherwise I should completely re-install the whole game.

Funny thing, too: The GWX idea to press CTRL-ENTER to fire torpedoes is quite good, but actually it doesn't work with my German keyboard, I can still press ENTER by itself to fire torpedoes...

Try renaming the folder....prefix it with an 'x'.....take out of folder....reboot pc then return folder (do not delete the 'x' from the title) and hopefully your gamesaves will reappear

you mean the

C:\My Documents\SH3 folder

or only the subfolder containing the career savegames?

The sub folder containg the career savegames

...and if that doesn't work do it to the SH3 folder.....boot up the game (thereby creating a fresh SH3 folder) and put the career savegames folder into that

I'll give it a try next time SH3 crashes. Thanks for everybody's help

Kaleun Saxi,
I've had the same issue - on my 5th patrol. Oddly enough, I'm also in U-45 / Type VIIB (probably just coincidence). My saves have always been fine in both SH3 and GWX 1.03 until this patrol. All of my saves near a convoy keep disappearing. I've sunk the same escorts and merchants several times! Would be interested to find out if you can get it to work.
