Steam... and lots of problems

BelegDraug · 08-30-12, 06:37 AM

Hi mates!
This is just a simple topic, regarding SH3 and it's Steam version with GWX.
Maybe you don't know this, but here in Argentina its very dfficult to find some good original games, so with my new PC I decided to buy the Steam version of the game (real good price).
But, I don't know if it's my installation or what, but I'm having the next issues:
1) SH3 Commander doen't seem able to star my patrol "out of port" using that option. Always, always, I start my missions inside harbor
2) In Commander, I choose to use the "No fatigue" model ('cause I don't like the micromanagement stuff, I think a real captain doesn't has time to take himself the task of rotating pepople around the shifts); but, I'm always having troubles with Endurance on my torpedo personnel, at the second or third day of patrol; and with my engine room people too ("Doen´t have enough people", and the room is plenty of)
3) I can't use the tweek software to have a personnal load of torpedoes (I don't remember the name of this really handy piece of software)

I'm using a Windows 7 Ultimate PC, with AMD and ATI, 8Gb of RAM. The path is the usual one for Steam games (:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common) and the GWX is working properly I think.-

Tnahks a lot for any advice you may give me! And sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue!

Toggle auto rollback. If its on, turn it off. And vice versa. Auto roll back sometimes doesn't play with steam well.

If you want to get any of the features of SH3 Commander working, you need to start a new campaign and choose the exact same date of the start of the campaign and exact same flotilla you chose in SH3 Commander.

I'm running SH3, 4 and 5 via Steam. SH3 and 4 are both modded and both work like a charm.

Thanks a lot to both for your answers!
It seems that by starting a new carrer AND disabling the rollback option, everything get back to the old days normality...

Thanks a lot again to this big forum and their members!!!

Did you try them individually to isolate the exact issue?
