[Kapt Z]

Had been away from the game for about a month and had time today to pickup my last 'during patrol' save. Wasn't a bad patrol, sunk a couple of large merchants, but had not seen anything for a few weeks except Catalinas out of Iceland. They bombed us, but no damage.

Finally latched onto a good convoy and got into them in great position. Blew up a nice large tanker and damaged another, but while we were diving away to evade I received the dread-

"Silent Hunter has stopped working." screen.

When I closed out to Commander it gave my assigned grid as 'Null'.

I rarely get this kind of thing, but the last time I shut the computer down before I loaded this save it did one of those automatic updates. IIRC the other time the error screen came up my computer had also had a previous update.

What do you all think?? I can't predict when these updates will occur and due to 'real world' stuff I rarely can finish a patrol in less than 5 or 6 saves. Should I reload this same save and hope for the best? Is it a waste of time or should I go back to the last save and lose all the tonnage from this patrol so far(20m tons)? Should I(can I?) rollback Commander while saved at sea?

Thanks for any input!
