New Member here. Just got SHIII not too long ago. My Opa was on a German U-boat in WWII so I was instantly interested in this game.

Been coming here a lot lately for tips. First started the game and immediatly jumped into 100% Realism. To feel as close as I could to how the Uboat Captains felt. Thanks already for all the help.

So after literally days of learning how to track my target on the map, and setting up a firing position (using the resources provided on this forum of course). Restarting campaigns over and over again so that my first patrol ends in a ship sunk. I FINALLY bag my first ship using the methods taught on here.

So I finish the mission, exit and return to port. First I noticed whenever I choose to exit and return to port automatically after completing the patrol my option for returning to port says "Abandon Career" which I've found must be a bug because it doesn't really effect my career. Although when loading the career it says I'm dead under the saved games.

So I start my 2nd patrol, save the game and exit. Come back to it, and it's not in the saved games list. So I'm presuming while I can start my 2nd patrol, and my kills are recorded - as far as the saved games go - I can longer save any further in my campaign because it says I'm "Dead." Even though I'm not.

So I try deleting an old saved game, and it completely wipes all of my saved games - all that hard work tonight for nothing

. You can imagine I was cursing quite a bit for a few minutes. I almost just said "******* this game" and shut it off completely, but it's just too addicting.

Needless to say I've restarted my campaign, and won't be able to play until two days from now. I read somewhere on here that it's a known issue that there are a few bugs with saving games. So I'm just going to start beginning and ending patrols and have the game automatically save my progress that way, because it seems saving the game manually is too bugged.

By the way I'm using the newest version of Real U-boat. 1.41 I think? Is the "Abandon Career" thing or the messed up saves a known issue with this MOD??
