This is a 1.3 version I can't upgrade to 1.4 or 1.5 on this machine. I have 1.5 on another laptop but don't know if it will open if i transfer the career, however that's done, or if I will run into errors because of the number of officers aboard.


Any help would be appreciated. I'm really looking forward to the culmination of this patrol and the war, so this is very frustrating.

first, welcome to Subsim and SH4.
second, more than likely you are running into a lack of memory problem. what version of windows are you running and how much RAM does it have? this issue is fairly consistent for captains who attempt to reload missions with extensive sinkings on a machine with limited memory or if they are not using the Large Address Aware utility. if your machine has at least 3 gig of RAM you should enable SH4 with LAA and try to reload one more time.
if you don't have 3 gig RAM then you are probably S-O-L.
here is the link for the 32-bit LAA. i could not find the 64-bit version. if you are running a 64-bit OS, repost and someone will have a copy.
