Never had a problem .
I use 3 "save game" names but never overwrite.

Format is:
P#Intel
P#Save#
P#Sunk#

Where the first # is Patrol number and the second is the next sequential number within "sunk" or "save". I use save if nothing happened since the last save and sun to keep track of ships sunk.


So my save career looks like this

P1Intel
P1Save1
P1Sunk1
P1Sunk2
P1Save2
etc

What is really frustrating is that it doesn't always save corrupted So you never know when a file is bad. Like I said I played for a few months with no problem and then it shows up.

I'm testing a few things to see if I can track this down, so for now I've given up trying to play a career.
