Hmm, I actually am having some random/odd issues all of a sudden.

Never had these problems before on XP 64-bit, running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit now and this is essentially what is happening.

I am receiving random crashes/game lockups, usually when I surface and try to auto position crew for the situation. It's only happening on my second career, starting in 1940 in the 2nd Flotilla with an IXB class U-boat.

The first time I noticed it happen, I was making my way to Greenland to resupply, found a British destroyer escorting two Auxiliary Cruisers, I torpedoed the middle cruiser and dived to 80 meters. I made my escape and as soon as I surfaced I tried to set up my crew with the auto button for surface cruise and the game froze.

I restarted the same career since I forgot to save any games, made plenty of saves this time. Went all the way up to Portland, sent two torpedo into the harbor, sank a freighter, made a desperate escape, then came in contact with an Empire-type Freighter, wasn't going to pass that up. Torpedoed it 3 times and it was still afloat, so I surfaced to finish it off, continued on my merry way before running into a large tugboat. I dove again in order to sneak up on it only to surface when I got closer to take it out with my deck gun. Problem was, the game crashed to desktop when I tried positioning my men on the deck gun. I went back to reload my saves and none of them are there, only a "phantom" save (it's not visible but is selected by default), saying I am dead.

I didn't die in that career, heck, I barely started. I never had these problems in my first career in the 2nd Flotilla in 1939, nor did I have these problems when I was on XP. Anyone have any possible solution?
