Oddly enough, I ran across the same exact bug tonight. I've already ran across the same bug, several times. Like the original poster, I'm getting very frustrated. Enough to set the game/sim aside, come up here, search a bit to see if someone has more information on it (or post on this thread, as it turns out), then go do something else until my SH3 itch overcomes the frustration I have.
I started out being very careful about my saves... not saving while submerged, near other ships, near port, etc. It didn't help. Every now and then, the bug strikes, and I go back a save or two, hoping to get a clean save game that's intact. Or restarting the career.
Same thing, tonight. I sailed out to the middle of the Atlantic, nowhere near land, or other ships. I can't remember what the weather's like. Open the save game, and the uboat tilts like mad, and heads to the bottom at +100 knots. Hits bottom at 503m, where my crew refuses to do anything but declare that "We're taking damage" intermittently.
Rebooting makes no difference. Closing and reopening makes no difference. Haven't tried saving it yet, and reopening (hmmm...) There's nothing obviously wrong about the number of saved files in the appropriate saved game directory, nor the size. I don't know enough about the structure of the saved games to play around further, unless I just start poking.
I know SH3 will suck me back in, but this is getting really irritating. Ranting and raving won't help, that's for sure, but I understand the frustration behind it.
