Swapping Flotilla's without transferring.

TarJak · 08-07-06, 05:29 PM

Last night I noticed a bug that I'm not sure can be fixed. If there is a way of fixing it I'd like to know.

What happened was I had a saved career (3 Patrols late 1942 in base at La Spezia 29th Flot), then I installed some lite ships mods, (great work Anvart!). To test these I created a new career starting a different name, year and flotilla (1939 Wilhemlshaven 2nd Flot), to see some of the lit ships I'd set up there in my SCR campaign. All good so far, the lit ships are there and I'm a happy camper.

Went back to my original career and set of on my next patrol. I then get a message saying "The base has changed to Lorient" and when I have a look around I'm in the middle of the ocean with no harbour. Checked my map and lo ang behold I'm at 0 degrees long and lat. i.e.; on Greenwich Meridian at the Eqauator!

Killed the patrol and had a look at the save games. From when I created the new career with a DIFFERENT name etc, my flotilla had changed to the 2nd. Workaround went to the save before the change (Luckily in base), and all is fine again. Anyone else seen this sort of behaviour?

Yes, this happened to me also...just a couple days ago. I had put in for a transfer to another flotilla...transfered and then decided it was not what I wanted to do so I exited and started from the previous in base before the transfer. When I started it, I got a message that my base was changed to "Brest" and the mission started on the equater...Wtf!? So I started, like you, the previous in base mission and all was fine, just had to reconfigure my torp load and all was well and I was back to my orginal flotilla and starting point (st nazairre)..whew.

I didn't transfer anyone though so I thought I could just create a new name and have more than one career going. Is anyone able to do that?
