Hello fellow captains,

I think most of you already know what I'm talking about, or have even experienced it themselves. Sometimes when I load a game (latest version of GWX) I plunge to the bottom... well bottom... the engine just screws up. I crash to 500something meters and that's it.

Now, I know that saving when having ships around is a bad thing, and one should always save on the surface. Last night however, I was well away from the convoy I had just attacked. I let TC run a few minutes, well to the point that there weren''t any stutters anymore, even when at 1024x.

What has me worried right now is that all savegames, well up before I even met the convoy, were damaged this way. Previously it was mostly just one corrupt savegame, no biggie.

I was on the surface and no ships around. Would activating the 16 km help? Right now, I can only be sure of 8 km... right? This bug rarely caused me trouble but last night was a bummer

since I sank quite a few ships in a daring convoy attack that by now, never took place.
