just about to give up again - Page 2

i was looking forward to some nice relaxing sub action after being away from the game for some time. i figuered (sp?) with all the great work the community has put into this program it'll be a blast but now i'm getting really frustrated:

i have been forced to restart a new campaign COUNTLESS times because of different things; first time was because i didn't remember that you can't delete old savegames without loosing all newer ones as well (although that can be avoided so it only happened once). then there were several occations where my savegames have become corrupted: once i decided to call it a night and continue the next day only to find my boat in a free fall sinking like 150m in less than 10 seconds and being destroyed as it reached the maximum depth. other times i reload my savegame and i find myself on a completely different depth than before (wich can resut in crashing into something).

now i just started a new campaign and was sailing through the channel (which was *swarming* with english warships in 1939?) at around 17-20 meters going silent and suddenly i'm dead - no warning whatsoever. so i decide to quit for a while until my frustration passes and then try again (I've made a new savegame everytime i saved just to be sure). now a few minutes ago i decided to give it another shot only to find that ALL my savegames are gone! the savegame files are still in the sh3 folder in my documents but sh3 seems to ignore them. WTF?

anyways i hope somebody can help me - i'm not sure if i have the patience to start yet another career (only to find it broken after a while)...

i am running sh3 1.4b with the latest GW mod installed.
