I'm having a save problem as well altho of a somewhat different character. I just came back to SH4 from a couple of years playing Roma Surrectum II, a mod to Rome Total War, which if you are into the genre is terrific. But after two complete campaigns of about a year each, felt I should return to my naval roots. I'm USN retired.

Previous to RSII, I played three SH4 campaigns to VJ Day. I seem to remember something like what I'm experiencing now, but can't remember if there's a fix. I never write over a save; they all get new names as cited above. When I load a save, I'm immediately under attack and "taking damage". Usually, this is entirely recoverable, some minor system damage easily repaired. Just a nuisance. However, last night both after torpedo tubes were damaged altho I don't remember getting that msg and found out only when I tried to fire them. When I went to the DC screen, they showed no damage whatsoever. I mounted a DC party for an hour, but no change. Of my seven remaining torps, four are aft so this will likely cut the patrol short.

So three questions. Is this just some kind of corrupted save that I need to live with? I checked the latest save file and it thinks those tubes have not sustained any damage hit pts. Is there a file where this corruption might be located and fixed?

If I go into port, will that fix the problem for next patrol?

I've got a super capable gaming rig so it's unlikely a hardware problem.

I'm running the following mods:
TMO 2.5
RSRDC V502
EZ Plot V1.0
Magnified HUD dials for V1.5 large
Foobors HiRes PORPOISE Black V1.0

Thanks for your help.
