Hello, have been watching for a while after buying the game about a month ago alongside a new PC and find it a brilliant but rather flawed game.
In looking back on the board I haven't come across this problem yet. I've been running a type VII career, which is onto it's 14th patrol without major problems, I can manually save during a patrol and come back and it loads back in ok - no issues there.
Alongside this a week or so ago I started a type IX career which is driving me mad! I must have left Lorient about 20 times (which takes a while because of the distance travelled with the time compression disabled!) and have only just got the boat back for the second patrol without it crashing back to desktop after a in game safe. I've noticed the pattern is that if I save during the patrol and come back later on it crashes within seconds of the restart - yet not if I restart from a in port save.
Before I noticed the patten I took the boat into New York for a bit of sightseeing, got out, and was half way back across the 'pond' when other duties called and had to do a ingame save. Hours lost!
Anybody else had the same pattern?
One further query; I'm sure I saw a reference to a mod for conning tower emblems that could be applied from the equipment page without having to delete existing ones or waiting for a certain stage in your career. Can't find it now.
