Lost Officer

CaptJC · 09-03-06, 01:09 PM

While on patrol in Grey Wolves I needed the resources of a Milkcow..............no problem there at the Corrientes in the Canaries. However,when I started my new patrol I noticed that I was one officer short! Is this a known problem? or does it need fixing ? your comments, please

Are you using SH3Cmdr? If you are, do you use the 'realistic crew transfers'? I dont know if it can cause this. Let´s wait when someone with more knowledge comes in.

If you leave a officer in the damage control station, that officer will not be there when you restart the game. You will have to go back to a previous save and take him out of that station before you exit the game. Try docking at the milk cow again, and then make sure no officer is in that station before you exit the game

some crew dissapears when finish the patrol if they are in the damage repair team

Canarias islands are a very nice place to life, no cold in winter and no too hot in summer, very nice beaches,and very good food

...a neutral country in the war...:hmm: :rotfl:

It happens to me too as mentioned above with officer into the repair team, when i attempt to edit the files to have an officer into each compartement.

But if not remember bad, it happens when it has no place into the forward rest room, aparently the game is not able to dow it from the repair room into the backward rest room.

Hehe, I had a different one... I got an extra guy (sailor).

I can't remember the circumstances, but it was an unmodded setup. I do remember that the crew page did show the watch officer being 'left outside' when submerged, that is: His station was gone, but his portrait was still there. When I next surfaced, I had an extra sailor. I thought I had made a mistake, but when the mission was complete: Men at start of mission 46, men at end 47...
An angel, perhaps??

Thanks to all you folks who offered advice.....I have already sent a message but it doesn't appear here for some reason.
I have been away for a few weeks (but the men in white coats said I'm alright now!!),When I returned to my mission,back to Milkcow as suggested I didn't get my man back...so I carried on back to base (Lorient) My crew stats say I have five officers but I can only get four icons..It looks like I will have to return to an earlier mission and start again.
BTW....Iwas in my ninth mission and have sailed thousands of km but have only come across three convoys...is this usual in Grey Wolves scenarios?

What really happend: Some of the guys discovered that Bernard had smuggled his pet rabbit "zhinkerbell" aboard.... They stole the rabbit and cooked it.. When Bernard wondered where little "zhinkerbell" was, the other men told him that the rabbit ran "ashore". Bernard followed his little friend with tears in his eyes, and the crew left him behind...
