This isn't about scientific rigour, and in your case it didn't actually "work."

Let's assume that your "pre-sinking" save game would have loaded just fine before you did any of this, just to be clear.

All you have done in your sequence is taken a save game that is working, completely uninstalled and reinstalled the programs that were using it, and loaded it again. In between loading that save game and sinking the ship, any number of things could have happened that could corrupt the game you are playing.

No, it is more likely to be mods you are using or some other factor.

Here is a personal story to show just how cranky SH3 can be. I had a mod soup that was causing a CTD every time I reloaded after sinking a ship, every time. Well, one day, I took the save game that would CTD, and started disabling all the mods that would cause the problem, and for some reason it loaded. I traced it down to a particular mod, and disabled it. Started playing the game, thinking everything was fine. Started getting CTD's again. Did some research, and found that a particular mod that I was using was notorious for causing CTD's for certain people. I removed that mod, and since then CTD's upon loading reduced dramatically. The story that I told in my previous post about the 3 CTD's was definitely an exception. I usually get 1 CTD save game load about every 3 missions, (possibly even 4-5).

Bottom line is, I read all of your posts and your methodology, and there is nothing there that says you conclusively proved that SH3 Commander is the problem for you or anyone else.

Trust me, I would love for this to be true, but I understand enough about troubleshooting and (computer) science problem-solving to say, that unless there is information you haven't included in your previous posts, the statement:

is not true. Sorry.
