When it crashes, the files are corrupted, there is no going back.
The save game files are very complicated. Over the years a procedure was created to assure safe saves.
1. Create a master save while still in port. ex: fireftr
2. When you save out of port, create a new save file. ex: fireftr1
3. Save often. I save after I set a course to the next patrol zone, after refitting, after a battle, etc.
4. Try to save during the day, in clear weather, nothing within sensor range, away from land, and surfaced. This rule came about early in the game when computers had difficulty handling it. Personally, I never had a problem.
