Hi,
@makman: It wasn't meant ironically or anything else. I really appreciate your comment. Thanks again
@h.sie: I guess there is a high chance that you will get a CTD. Personally, I just play a single campaign and don't go back to save games from previous patrols so it's quite easy for me to avoid this. However, for players who run several campaigns at different times in the war in parallel it is problematic. They need a good book-keeping to know what RND layer belongs to what campaign. Unfortunately, there is no other solution in SH3 (one reason to move to SH4).
For me personally it's worth the trouble and those with strong enough machine can get a decent zz pattern with a 50MB file, I guess.
Cheers, LGN1
