I was submerged, within sight of the piers, numerous contacts pierside and 2 ASW trawlers prowling in visual range.

I started up my saved game last night without any problems.

The only thing I did differently than the many CTDs I'd had before?

I removed the Read-only flag from my SHIII game folder and all files within.

Haven't had a CTD since.

It may not save your current game, but try it. I am sure this will minimize such instances in the futuure. It worked for me.

First time I've heard of this 'fix'...watching with interest
