Okay, I reloaded my 3rd patrol with everything exactly the same as when it crashed before, except I started it without using Commander. I got to here:

and the game froze up. Start of patrol was Oct 29 1939 03:52 and when I saw the game freeze I grabbed the screenie and recorded the time and date, Oct 30 1939 20:43. Why it says 00:31 in the time window I don't know, but I was running in 256 TC when I saw it freeze so perhaps it kept advancing in between the moment I saw the clock freeze and the moment I hit the PrintScreen key. However I never saw the time change at all either before or after the error message finally popped up.

I reloaded the patrol, this time with Commander, and started out on Oct 30 1939 18:44. The game froze when I was passing through the exact same area - SE corner of grid AN34. The time and date when I saw it freeze was Oct 31 1939 09:16.

Then I enabled the blank campaign file on top of all the mods I already had running and reloaded the patrol via Commander. There was a very slight lag in the game when I passed through that area of the map, but no CTD.

I've disabled all my mods and am now in the process of adding them back in one by one to see at what point the lag becomes a full blown freeze-up. Once I get to that point I think I'll try starting a patrol earlier and then later to see if the time and date are also a factor. Then I'll try plotting a different course to see if I get a freeze at around the same time/date in other areas of the map.
