SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - I was thinking there should be a sticky thread about saving?

Also this:

"A couple of golden rules regarding savegames:

never save at dock, or anywhere (generally) within 20km of land. Will nearly ensure a corrupted savegame.
NEVER save underwater, regardless of whether you're in the middle of the Atlantic or near a convoy.
There is very small chance that you can successfully save underwater if you have 100% hull integrity-it must be the full 100 as just 1% is enough to cause CTD's.
Saving underwater is a horrible idea in general, with 100% you have a small chance of success if that is your only possible option - i.e. you can pause and leave the computer running, put it to sleep or otherwise leave it on. Use it as a last resort when you can't otherwise surface and save or get to a safe spot to save.
Saving near a convoy has a 50-50 chance (or less the closer you get) on being a successful save.
If you're game in CTD on start, fastest resolution is to reinstall rather than spend potentially hours troubleshooting.
In the event you're using a widescreen mod make sure that the exact monitor dimensions are d3d.cfg file - a 1360 x 768 setting on a 1366 x 768 is enough to CTD, just 6 pixels is enough to throw the game off."
