lost career

billcarphead · 11-19-12, 01:57 PM

not to sure whats happened here but after 36 patrols i cant access my career, ive still got the folder but the first 5 patrol files are empty. With such a loss this might just sink me. Any help appreciated

Try adding an 'X' to one of the patrols and see if that sorts it.

It's a known bug that crops up every now an then, without a known cause. The solution is to change the name of your Commander's folder where the savegames are stored. Go here:

(My) Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\

Change the folder name of the commander that is lost. When you start up the game the savegames should show up.
