Wagh....

Was up till 4 am, had 100000 tonnes to my name BEFORE I encountered the 50+ convoy in the Java Sea...put a large hole in that and was heading back to port.

Saved the game...on Nav map, paused etc.....try to load this morning. CTD Every single time.

F'ing game

Is it the save game file corrupt or the game? Can you load the game but it crashed on loading the save, or did the game crash before loading?

Man, that's like having the biggest fish on the hook, seeing it, and then the line breaks. Grrrr

Luckily, I've never had this happen in Silent Hunter, any version. I have had problems with mod conflicts, but never this.

I feel your pain.

Yeah, that's darned aggravating. I hope it's savageable.

Something similar happened to me this weekend. I was even keeping two seperate saves and both end with a ctd after loading.

Chubster and everyone else. Sounds like you have your game icon hooked up to gu.exe. That's game update, by the way. There never were and will never be any game updates to get. Furthermore, gu.exe is fatally flawed and destroys your ability to reload save game files.

Right-click your Wolves of the Pacific desktop icon. Choose properties.

Now under target: you'll see that it ends with gu.exe. Change that as the dialog box above to read SH4.exe. Click OK. Done! Over 99% of your problems are instantly gone.

I've had problems with reloading saves only when it's my own fault.

Cheers RR but nope....mine points to SH4.exe. Personally I think SH4 cannot handle large save files.

I have been out since the start and although I have saved several times...with new names....they build up.

Luckily the save just prior to meeting the java convoy does load so will just have to destroy them again...
