This goes for every savegame connected to my career. I reinstalled the game, patched it again and started a new career .. eventually the game CTD's again during the patrol, and again I am unable to continue my career. I am unsure why this hasn't happened before because I DID experience several CTD's ever since running the game the first time, but now it has gotten pointless to play a career. As a message to Nubi Soft .. this is getting beyond rediculous.

Great btw .. we now have a nearly 100 % solution on how to screw up your career, it seems reproducable and in fact, unavoidable since for most players, the game DOES CTD on occasion. Lovely, just lovely ...
Same here also, i posted in another thread so ill just copy paste what i said...


July 1942, USS DRUM


Headed from pearl to patrol for enemy shipping of the coast of phily islands...
About 2000nms spotted a huge task force on radar, directly in font of me coming down from the north. I changed course to intercept, after about 5min @ 128 TC ships were sighted... I then went to perscope depth due in part that it was in the middle of the day and i would have been easily sighted. I Raised my scope, and sighted 3 Carriers escorted by 2 BBS, 2 hvy Crusiers, and around 5 DDs.

I then lowered scope, set up a perfect waypoint to line up forward topredo tubes on the first carrier, waited...raised scope... perfect shot @ 1400yrds.. fired a spread of 3...lower scope turned @ flank to the left... (destroyers were out of postion cause i ran silent to get through thier shield). After about 3-5mni the first carrier capsized and sank. At this point the 2nd carrier was in my sights... fired about the same range, fast speed on the torpedos, all 3 hit..sank just like the first.. Tonnage now @ 50k+. At this point i have a perfect stern shot lined up on one of the bbs @ 600yrds... fired all 4 rears... a couple of seconds the ship explodes due to one dentonating its mag.

At this time i have only one torp that just was finished loading in the forward torpedo room, and the last carrier comes into view @ 800yrds... i fire, fast settings and prey it will at lest slow him down....the torpedo hits... he kept moving @ 10kts.

I wait for the 2nd forward tube to load...i notice he is starting to list to the starboard side... I fire again...a couple of seconds after i fire the ship starts to capsize, the 2nd torpedo hits the flgiht deck...and blows off a zero...... over 100k tons now... i have one more torpedo to go before am goin to have difficulty with escorts.... one hvy crusier comes into view... i fire.. crash dive.. i pray... I hear an explosion...yes! i thought i got him. I got to external view and see whats left of teh burning haulk.

Not believeing my luck and success of this attack i quickly save the game...

Well to make a long sotry short, i went deep and silent TC alittle (32-128)
TO get some distance... with no warning or anything.. am dead.

So i reload... game loads... No ships in external view, but they r showing up in navigation... and some how i have massive damage, i flood, i sink i die....

I restart the computer hopeing it was just a random occurance.

Load SH4 back up and load save game, CTD opon the please wait screen...

My heart sinks, I close sh4
I put in the closet...
