Having a fantastic patrol, over 100K between a heavy cruiser and several tankers, and
carefully (carefully, as in over 100Km from ports/harbors, aan hour long and 100KM from last sunk ship, on the surface, etc.) saving as I go. While heading towrds a new patrol grid (at 126x speed, no faster) I suddenly CTD. I try reloading the last saved game . . .
. . . I reach the initializing screen . . .
. . . and CTD.
I've tried 24 times now, and have back-stepped several saves.
I'm rather disgusted at the moment.
