My whole SH4 campaign so far is saved over and over the one save name . Not a problem . I save on the surface , with no contacts , in 1 TC . This is what the devs have told us .

I 'solved' this by completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I deleted the previous saves but it looks like untill now I can load all the new saves (even underwater/combat). Looks like some files are getting corrupted over time.

Talk about a solution...:shifty:

Whatever works, good luck with it. Nice Bonnet by the way :lol:

LOL thanks! I just noticed that... I need to get involved into frantic posting in ordrer to get rid of the gay bonnet!

Is Navy Dude next:hmm::o

:nope::damn:

2 days after a complete reinstall... it does the same thing again.
Am pondering what could have happened in these two days. The only thing I can think of is that I have drives defragmenting when the screensaver comes on... could the defrag corrupt the safe game files?
:hmm:

Dayum... Be gone foul hat!!!

I turn the radar off before i save , no contacts , on the surface in 1TC , outside views . I just use a single name as a save name , Sober for example . I did a test and had a contact while on the surface and sure enough , CTD . Reloaded the same save and was able to continue then resaved when no contacts were around and continued my career . Before you uninstalled SH4 did you delete any mods by uninstalling from the JSGME then delete the SH4 folder that appears in your My Documents folder then uninstalled SH4 then reinstalled SH4 . Have you added mods while in patrol . What are the mods you have . What is your computer specs etc etc etc .

Cheers Sober,

I did a clean uninstall/reinstall (including the files in the 'My document' folders). I also upgraded to the latest omega drivers... and disabled my anti-virus.
Didn't install mods while at sea, and am currently running with: Trigger Maru, the CBS news thingabob and the 'Silent service' one recommended ont he Trigger maru post. All have been installed with JSGME.

From memory, my system specs are:
AMD 3200
ATI X800 pro (AGP)
2 Gb ram
SB audigy 4
Sata raid 4*240GB
...

I could post a Dxdiag when I get home if it helps.
I'm musing over the fact that I have .NET 2.0 running on my system (can't do without it... job related)... but I doubt it's that since the files only get corrupted over time.

(During the 1st days I was even able to load saves where I was underwater in the midst of a Kongo BB convoy...)

I have audigy sound card and the updated audigy drivers give me no end of trouble . The ones microsucks try to give you on there update site crash my computer . The only ones that work for me are the original ones that come with the audigy card . I also go into the creative program folder and delete the stupid load up thing . I have a similar system so i cannot see how this would affect it . Try a diffrent mod maybe , RFB and diffrent mods to the one you are using . Dont save with contacts . See how that goes maybe .

Just saw this, hope you get it up and running, Sober has some good suggestions.

I rolled back to some Oct 06 drivers for my Audigy4, it seems to work so far. I noticed one difference: the "Save replay" checkbox wasn't greyed out as it usualy was before... hmmm :hmm:

More testing tomorrow!

Edit: Begone now, foul hat!!!

I notice that your post count is stuck on 164 , so i would say that you are stuck with the bonnet forever :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Here is what you have to look forward to:
