Exclamation SH4 corrupted save game problem

Hello everyone,

i came across a strange situation - i wouldn't tell anyone about that, but this happened few times since i started playing SH4 careers and i would like someone to explains me that.

Well, i started a patrol at Manila on 9 December 1941 with a Sargo class submarine. I received orders to patrol areas West and North of Luzon.

In one of those areas near the Western coast of Luzon i came across a Japanese Task Force consisted of more than dozen warships and transport ships. I managed to sunk one Nagara Maru using MK14 torpedoes and escaped the escorts taking damage from depth charges while my crew received minor wounds. Few hours later, on the surface when safe, with almost all repairs finished (beside slightly damaged 20 mm Oerlikon single AA gun) and with all crew members recovered from wounds i made a new savegame with unique name (!).

I left the game and i loaded that save later. When the savegame was loaded i received info about damage taken and casualties among my crew. Indeed, i got 3 men killed from the deck gun crew and few other wounded! There were no minefields, anti-sub nets and enemy coastal guns in that area.

I reloaded this save again as well as the game itself, but nothing changed. I made also a new save with another name after the one corrupted, but this didn't help.

Is there any way to fix that corrupted save or i need to start my patrol again? What's going on? Is there possible, that the Time Compression option caused this bug, since i used it during the escorts depth charge attacks (TC x 8) and shortly after they broke out the attack (TC x 32)?

Thank You in advance for help! This is really annoying.

EDIT: I edited the ActiveUserPlayer.upc file inside the E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Moje dokumenty\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\00000006 folder to reset the damage values to 0.000000 (for equipment, hull and crew members), but those changes are not visible in game. This is the first save that i had made after i escaped the escorts. Maybe i need to edit another file?

I also disabled all my mods in JGSME, started a stock SH4 then left the game and enabled the same mod list again. This didn't help to resolve the problem.

Below i posted the JGSME enabled mod list, that i used when i made this problematic save - i don't know if this makes any difference.
