vdrs campaign workaround help windows X

im referring to this post:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...64&postcount=1

couldnt get it to work. lost all my progress. had to start over.

made a save in port called last cw save. then started a new game, silentotto-ed it, & manual saved a file called ht save.

i copied ht save files to last cw save. (there was 1 additional file in last cw that wasnt in ht save.)

heres where i think i blundered, i just wanted to start @ happy times, but i edited the floatilla cnfgs for first western approaches (ctd), then mare nostrum (ctd). neither of them worked, both produced the aforementioned crash to desktop; upon loading the last cw save.

should i just have left the floatilla cnfgs alone (the williamhemshaven one; in essence the ones that existed before altering last cw save) for the purpose of starting directly @ happy times?

i mean i didnt want to jump right into either western approaches or mare nostrum, just transition from total germany to happy times. as far as i could tell i did eveything required to unlock happy times, except sink the carrier.

the leg of the campaign simply wouldnt unlock on its own for me.

a little confused, a whole lot frustrated. using the steam version & the save files are automatically synched to a server ... which probably isnt helping either.

im not interested in modding sh5 at this time. thats going to be a nitemare compared to this.

Why?

I clearly stated that there is no need to mess up with flotilla settings (CareerTrack.upc) in case of CW to HT transfer...

You should also know that my workaround is based on OHII/TWoS and not on useless and unfinished stock SH5 campaign files...
