Save issues CTD?
So, I have noticed that if I save and quit Sh3 when I'm near a convoy/enemy port, it often breaks the save when I try to load it later.
Example: I go off on patrol, find some ships, get setup to shoot them, save game, and then reload and the game crashes to desktop when I load the save. It just crashes right before it loads in. It's not a problem when I'm around one ship. it becomes a problem when I'm around 2+ ships. If I save at sea with no ships in view/SO range I never have loading issues. I normally don't have CTD's when playing the game, they are very very rare, I have just been having some when loading into the game when I was near convoys. Any ideas on how to fix this? It's a bit annoying to not be able to save when near a convoy and reliably be able to reload it later. |

Your experiences are known issues with the game. I don't know if you are using GWX 3. But in their manual (in Documentation folder) there is a list of known issues and for the most part workarounds. The most notable are to be 50km away from land, port and other ships. A hydrophone check is the most certain way of noticing 'something is out there.'

Thanks. I had figured this was probably normal but I was just curious if there was any way of getting around it.
Sometimes I will save a game when I'm in a good position to take down tons of ships as long as i dont' **** it up, and then I end up missing all my shots so I'll try and savescum and then it's broken lmao :< Guess save scumming never pays! Most of the time though it's because I am near a ship or just a little too close to land and it just craps out the save. Oh well. thanks! |

If you're not using GWX there is a link to the manual below.

Yeah I'm using GWX. Just can't save near convoys I guess. No save scumming for me!

Prior to saving go to periscope depth, then stop engines, F2 and do a 360 degree hydrophone sweep (all in real time of course).

My biggest gripe with the game bar none.
You wander the open ocean for hours and just when you need to turn off the game you get a convoy!

Forgot to mention you should then surface before saving
