I haven't encountered this problem myself but the GWX manual describes something which seems similar to your situation:

"Players who have just one career in stock Silent Hunter III will occasionally find their career has no saved games, even though you successfully saved your most recent game, and the save game files are present in their proper career folder."

"This is a stock Silent Hunter III behavior and seems to happen when you have deleted the career named after your player name and replaced it with a name of your own creation), so the GWX team suggests you create a dummy career (e.g., for Leutnant z. S. Fubar) before starting your real career to ensure this does not happen."

Hope this helps...

Wow, that's impressive that you've only been here a month and read the GWX manual

If only more of us did

It's a surprisingly good read, and made me feel sentimental for the days when computer games were always accompanied by mighty tomes.

Except this manual was written for GWX by Pablo, not Ubisoft.

Didn't intend to suggest the manual was written by Ubisoft, sorry if that was your impression.
