do you still have the autosave from this point of your career...just prior to the CTD? remember some things happen automatically.

If by that, you mean the save point I did before calling it a night, while I was still @ Lamon Bay (2nd visit to it, in My 1st patrol mission objective) then the answer to that would be a resounding yes... I still have that save point.

The 1st docking @ Surabaya, was when I finished off the part 3, 1st patrol mission, was running through the passage waterways from the west side of the Philippines, to the west side, exiting the San Bernardino passage... I ran into a small task force of 2 DD's, 1 Minelayer & a seaplane tender... which I radioed that in & got orders to sink it. I proceeded on to Lamon Bay, patrolled there the 1st time, completed that, got orders to patrol Aparri right after that... in the course of doing that, ran into a task force, on radioing that in, got the reply back to disengage... which I gritted My teeth & did so. I went to hot foot it to Mariveles, to do a hot resupply. En route to do that, I then ran into My 3rd task force... & just as with the 2nd one, got the same message when I radioed that in. completed the resupply, went back to Aparri... completed that objective aka part 2 of My 1st patrol. Upon doing that, got messaged to then go back to Lamon Bay, but this time, a much larger area in the region to patrol. I figure I pretty much completed that about 2/3 to 3/4 of the time to be there to do so... when I needed to grab some sleep, so I did a save & waited a bit, before exiting the game.

I reloaded up the next day, to finish that part of the mission off, got the all clear aka mission complete then hot footed it to dock @ Surabaya, to dock... but... between finishing 2nd trip to Lamon Bay, I did NOT do any saves before docking at Surabaya the 1st go around. I docked & then ran into that CTD... I reported it, & rather than waiting, I reloaded the save @ Lamon Bay (2nd visit...) completed it again, as I mentioned already before.. saved & then hot footed it to Surabaya for the 2nd time.. saving after I completed pt. 3 of My 1st patrol, hot footed it to dock @ Surabaya, saving before I set off the dock/rearm box.

BUT, to re-emphasize.. I do indeed have that 2nd visit to Lamon Bay save...
