marco,
this is what i did, im not sure of the exact point things resolved so i will mention them all as it could be a combination of things:
Save your entire game folder somewhere else
uninstall sh3
do a registry scan and fix what it asks
reisntall sh3 to the default directory (this may be important)
reinstal GWX
completely reintstall commander (make sure there no old files in there)
then you can place your old install back into its place (or maybe just your MOD folder is needed)
point Commander to the location of your SH3 Install
now you will have to go back to the point before the ship sinks, luckily i had a save where i had already critically damaged the ship but it was still on surface and was the first attack of my patrol....
when i did this, once the ship sank i did a new save and i had no problems after that.
this fix will not allow you to resurrect you corrup save, but i believe once your bac kin your game and you have a new sinking it may be good from there
**you may not have to do all the reinstall SH3 steps, just try the Commander thing and get back into your game with a good save point and then let me know...
You see that fact that you can confirm that it is upon a ships sinking that this issue happens is good and helps to pinpoint the problem for others. So hopefully more people can confirm this and we can rid the world of this for ever. By the way, I have saved at 150 meters below the surface witha full depthcharging happening, and in every other concievable situation with no currupted save---only when the ship sinks.
Finally it may be a little early for me to say 100%, because I will need to sink more ships and see if itt happens again, but at least things can focus on the sinking ship as a cause
