It certainly doesn't appear to me that saving multiple times or overwriting the same save is the panacea here.

What I do firmly believe though is that keeping the 'Player' default line in the save folder lessens your chances of what you are experiencing by a considerable amount.

Furthermore, I'm confident all would agree that saving whilst submerged, near rendered objects etc. etc. is a surefire way of raising game crash possibilities.

The SH3 game engine is a picky beast on the best of days, people who have experience of multiplay will readily attest to that.

Thus far the only 100% game save solution fix centres around the missing saves issue.
