I used to run into this bug now and again. There was one thing I changed about how I saved the game. I used to save the game prior to engagment and call it something like, convoy1, or Battleship in Manila. Names that would help me remember which engagment was which.

These saves would sometimes change day and night and sometimes the contacts would go away if I reloaded them. I had a question about it ages ago and someone told me not to save in anything but - blah blah blah leaving port with the date. You know the default save upon entering or leaving home port.

I began doing this with an occasional appendage to the end so if it said -leaving port 05 23 1442_1 I might add a 1 or a 2 at the end to keep the original save in case I died. Since then I have never had the issue of day and night changing nor have I had the issue of losing contacts out of a save.

I have saved with a singal ship near by, on the surface as well as submerged, a convoy after intial attack and battlegroups. Since I stopped calling them specific names on save and left the default names I simply do not have the issue any longer.

Give it a try Lady and se eif it helps.
