Just had my first non-submerged save error.

I was shelling a small tanker at about 700m. He was all aflame when i saved yet the crew hadn't called out "she's going down" yet.

Upon loading i go about 2-3 minutes until the screen goes black and CTD's.

I've tried using time compression, steaming away from the tanker, everything and it still crashes.

I guess i'll try hitting escape and "docking" (i don't like to do this, but this is an excusable exception). Then hopefully when i start my next patrol all will go okay.

I just wish i knew what i did wrong so i don't repeat it.

I have never experienced, yet, the save problem, though I have only been playing for a couple of months. I have read about this problem on here, and have so far managed to avoid it. The rules i try to follow are.
1. Never save when submerged.
2. Never save when involved in action.
3. I always try to avoid saving when in sight of land, especially ports.
I tend to always try to save before going into action, just in case I get called away, or I don't have time to see it through, ( time can really fly when the adrenaline is pumping :rock:, and you can easily forget you have to get up for work in the morning ! ). So far this has always worked for me, on GWX 1.03, I am just starting a new career in GWX 2, hopefully my luck with this will stay with me .
