There's some info there, but not much.
At this point, I'm happy with a fix if the problem occurs... I'd be happier with knowing how to prevent it, but if I can rescue a corrupted save game file, I'll be happy enough. I think I'm going to keep playing around with some fresh saved games and the .mis files, to see if I can keep replicating this bug.
I've got a copy or three of Memtest86 around here... I might run it through multiple PC-Check runs over the weekend, too. I suppose you could call me a "Jack of All Trades" computer technician, since I work for a fairly large company providing general support (with a really bad name, I might add, which is why that description's the most you're going to get out of me ;op ).
Samwolf: Oddly enough, that Crew_Career_00.cfg is different than the patrol cfg and the Crew_Config_<uboat type_#>.cfg. The crew_career cfg has the same crew names and positions as the ubout type cfg, but it has more stuff added to each crewmember... mostly variables that I assume are related to types of qualifications and promotions.
