that's not fair - I only just got here!

hmph, I am not 'appy.

I finished a patrol yesterday - the first since I re-installed the game after I had to change hard drives, so not from a long line of patrols, just the one.

I go back today and I am told the war has ended... WHAATT?

The date is Sept 1 1939.

What have I done wrong?

Don't tell me; I have to start a new career all over again - for the umptieth time..

fed up, sulk

[papa_smurf]

Err.......don't how that happened, but maybe re-installing might help (don't hit me!)

It could be that you copy of SH3 is faulty - thats all I can think of, maybe someone else can help out.

[She-Wolf]

grumble grumble. I could go back to the previous save perhaps and see if it happens again.

Was it because I didn't actually plod back to base do you suppose? or some sort of punishment for nobbling a neutral merchant?

'sigh'. I was going to re-install anyway, but keep the saves....

thanks anyway papa_smurf

Shouldn't be, I've done this many times and its not said - "war ended".

Not having much luck are you

[She-Wolf]

well. I might be rubbish, but I am persistent rubbish !

When I got back to base I found out that I had misread a flag (at night) and sunk one of our own large merchants. Cost me a thousand on that one and a trip to the eye Doctor. Could the flags be modded to be easier to see?

hi she-wolf

you were also suffering from dodgy hydrophones, wer'nt you ? did you get that resolved ? and if so, what was it finally ?

what copy is your game-disc, is it an official Ubi one or a copy and are you up to date with all the patches. is the disk damaged or worn in any way ?

if you are running gwx, silent hunter commander et al, have you done an in-line install as is described in the gwx manual. do you have mods installed that may conflict ?

if you have un-installed and reinstalled a couple of times have you deleted all files to do with Ubi and Silent Hunter 3 in your Programme Files on your computer: go to, WINDOWS EXPLORER - MY COMPUTER -LOCAL DISK (C) or where ever you have stored them PROGRAMME FILES - look for UBISOFT, look for SILENT HUNTER 3.

delete all files before you reinstall - this is what i had to do, eventually, after numerous conflicts - i did not know about this at the time, but apparently - and i got it from this forum, this can help. and it seems to have done the trick for me.

you are basically having a complete clean-out of everything UBI and SH3. removing chances of conflict at reinstall.

if you feel uncertain as to what i have suggested ask around on this forum, there are a lot of people with loads more experience than me.


i've run out of quest?ons....suggestions....

hope this helps

Thats probably the reason as it was your first patrol.

NOTE: If your renown reaches negative values, your career may suddenly end!
