This is quite interesting - I haven't abandoned my career but I did a registry check with CCleaner and it identified 768 corrupt registry entries all of which appeared to be connected to SH3 - these have been removed and I have carefully re-installed the game and my mods (without Stiebler's patch - but that doesn't mean that I have given up on it) whilst preserving my career and SH3 Commander files. So far it seems to be working OK - but I haven't yet been brave enough to save and reload in the midst of battle.
I was also in the habit of using the same gamesave file names over and over again - i.e '2 Sunk', '3 Sunk' etc. I did have a suspicion that this may have been problematical so I have adopted a new regime of naming my gamesaves with a simple formula as follows: The game limits save names to 9 characters so my plan was to use the date and time (in game) of the save - my first character indicates the year (i.e. 3 = 1943) the next four characters the date (i.e 1022 = October 22) and my last four, the time (i.e. 1504 = 3:04 pm) that way there should be no duplication of gamesave names . . .
