OK. I've enjoyed seven glorious months without a CTD after loading screen incident, saving in situations which would give most SH3 players mightmares. Until this morning. I ended up restarting in port.
We had completed our 4th patrol, went through the in-port procedure and started our 5th patrol without incident. I saved outside the port as a matter of course. We made it to our assigned patrol area and submerged to 25 meters. No sound contacts. I saved at this point and shut down both game and computer.
This AM, I started the computer. Started the game in Commander as usual, and CTD after loading. Both saves crashed.
Here's the interesting bit. When I had started the 5th patrol yesterday, the calendar in the briefing room had the correct date of 23 February. I noticed the loading screen was displaying December's news. Since the patrol start date was 23 February, I thought it strange that January's news was not displayed. The game had played normally afterward.
Could it simply have been a date discrepancy causing the crash?
Unfortunately, restarting the patrol in port deleted the corrupt saves. If it happens again, I'll certainly check that option out.
