I use sh3 commander with H.sie's fixes a few mods in jsgme but don't see how that would corrupt save games. If I play the whole patrol in a day and end my patrol at base it's fine, only happens while trying to load a save mid-patrol in open ocean alone on surface.
MOST TIMES I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY OUT A FULL PATROL ESPECIALLY WITH THE LONGER RANGE U-BOATS SO THIS IS KINDA OF A GAME BREAKER FOR ME. sorry for caps  |
Something I found, aside from the precautions you are taking, is to make sure I give the Save function plenty of time to write out the whole file. My system is pretty good, and I'm saving to a solid state "disk", but still when I watch the disk activity light on my machine I notice it goes for up to a minute past the point where I hit the Save button. I'm guessing that if you hit "Resume" or "Exit" right after making a Save file, it may not have completed writing out the whole file. Might just be superstition on my part, but I have not had a single "bad" save file since implementing a process to let the Save run its course - I get up and take a break at that point. Works for me - it may work for you. Good Hunting!
