The best would be to set almost everything else to 0x in SH3Commander if one is to leave the game without pausing. For example if a ship is spotted TC drops to 0x. Would ofcourse be annoying during normal gameplay but for those who play only at 1x and don't wanna pause for leaving it'd might be a good thing.
On the other hand I've had a similar experience to that of ijozic, having attacked a large convoy, escaped depth charges with the last save several hours ago. And ofcourse, only to find out that I've left the cpu fan on too low rpm when the computer hangs up.
So stupid. Automatic fan controller ftw.
I guess the Save and exit-button is for those who are paranoid for this sort of things to happen.:rotfl:
