It has been 3 days now since I had a reload screw up, after I started rolling back SHCommander after each session. I am hoping the problem is fixed....

Thanks for the advice.

Page 27 does indeed give detailed instrictions for the GWX skin pack
Not the older SH3commander skin pack

Page 21

The GWX team suggests you set the following SH3 Commander options to get the most enjoyment
while running with GWX:
• Select “Use historic U-boat availability dates” when playing a career in the 30th/33rd flotilla
• Select “Set number of days spent in base” to 55 when playing a career in the Far East
• Do not use the “Grey Wolves 24 hour” fatigue model
• Do not use the “Combined Ship Pack” add-on

Hi all

I follow these rules when saving and have very few problems, none in this install so far.
Save on surface in F2 view.
Never go from high TC directly to save.
Never save with any known contacts.
Never save close to land or harbors(50km.).
Never overwrite a previous save.
I roll back the Cmdr during patrol only when entering a new month.

Now I have probably put a spell on my game, so touch wood (knocks on head)

I have also have had this problem on occasion lately. The things I suspect and will try to correct after having read this thread is to not saving close to shore, disable some of the smaller mods I added recently. Maybe as a last resort I'll test with disabling the GWX combined skin pack (even though I've had no problems with it from the beginning).

Why disable the pack when you've had no problems ? :hmm:

The 500mb GWX skinpack is the one I am using . I was just calling them the "SHCommader skins" because they load in at startup with SHCommander. I ought to have been more specific.

Well I'm not 100% sure if I had the problem before I installed the skin pack or not. But my guess for the moment is some of the smaller mods I found out was conflicting with each other, which I have corrected now. Time will tell if it'll help.

In general I guess a good precaution is to save more often (at the right places) and avoid overwriting. Make regular backups of the SH3 folder in My Documents might also come in handy if something screws up.

Thanks!. That was the advice I was hoping to get. I am sure guilty of violating your save at F2, Close to Harbor, and Overwriting previous saves "rules." I'll do these too in the future.

So far it has been 4 days and I'm still not seeing the problem..but that is the way this glitch strikes...just when you are feeling fat and sassy....on top of the world.....BAM!
