crash while loading (all) savegames: Here's how to fix it!
All (both) my savegames crashed during loading, I thought my career was done for. However, here is the fix:

- Create a new profile (ideally with the same name, same nation)
- Return to main menu after office screen appeared
- Copy the "ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc" and "CareerTrack.upc" to the new save file
- You're done: All your career progress has been carried over

Hope this helps if somebody runs into the same isssue.

Best,
Brett

Good luck

I appreciate the input, but loading a save game doesn't appear to be the problem. I am able to load saved games. My process is to always save from the Office after updating the crew (promotions and medals), and adding any available equipment. I then load that Save to ensure it was valid before starting the next mission.

The Save game taken while in the office on 8/2/44 loads just fine. In fact, I can go back to previous saves in the career and load them, and can successfully restart those patrols. It's when I attempt to go to the next mission/Patrol that starts on 8/16/44 to deliver an agent to China that the problem arises. When I actually launch the mission (leave from port or outside the harbor) that the game crashes. It just does not seem to want to load that next mission. This happens even if I load the save game in the office, choose a transfer, and then start a new mission. It always gives the same new mission, and then crashes when I try to start it. The Starting New Mission screen starts, the load progress indicator starts to move across the screen, but the game shuts down totally as the progress bar gets about 1/4 the way to completion.

I really do appreciate your help, and I will try the suggested method if all else fails, but I still don't think the Save Game is the problem. Of course, I've been wrong before (I think, maybe).
