Update:
I don't think the problem is either of the above two files. I'm thinking it might be something to do with the temp files in my My Documents/SH4 folder.
The following files were modified at the time I got the crash:
progress.cfg
playersettings.cfg
save.tmp
ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc
CareerTrack.upc
GameplaySettings.cfg
UserPlayerSettings.upc
Does anyone know what gets changed in these files every time you load the game? If so, that could help me narrow it down.
This is really frustrating... I was headed home from my second patrol after sinking 23,000 tons, including one that I took out with the deck gun because I was out of torpedoes. This was also the 2nd time I did this patrol because of other game-save problems I've been having.
I guess that's my punishment for trying to take a shortcut.
