Lost saves

mheil · 02-13-06, 10:10 AM

I'm a newbie on my first patrol. Made four kills, did my patrol grid and was heading back to base with only one torp left in the stern. I ran in to a lone ship and was setting up for a stern shot when the wife wanted to use the computer. I made a save and exit. Returned to the game o few hours later to find all my saves missing from my career?!? Any ideas? I tried to find the save folder to see if it was empty but didn't know where to look. I'd hate to start all over again.

Are you patched up??

I couldn't even "save and exit" until friday night when i downloaded the patch. Now everything is great.

Go to your saved career in your My Documents folder. Rename your captain's folder, it will show up. This is a known bug. If you just have to have that name, then wait one mission and use it again, it will be there.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Changing the name of the folder worked great. I'm back in action and heading to Kiel with one stern torp left. First patrol almost done. Thanks for the help!
