What are the primary causes for failure to load a game? The black screen of death (no challenge too great, IIRC) appears but never completes. The old CTDs owing to a bad save are a thing of the past, but the BSOD is relatively new and frequent. For instance, I had a fantastic patrol going when I encountered a large convoy in bad weather, my favorite scenario, south of Tokyo. I saved it after waiting between 2-3 minutes at 1x, then continued the game after the save. Mid-battle, other duty called, and I had to shut down. When I attempted several times to restart, I got the BSOD instead. Even left to run overnight, the game never loaded. I can go back to the previous save but it was days earlier and off Miyazaki, so finding that particularly juicy convoy would be unlikely.
