Default Save game crash important discovery!

i know the save game crash is a plague apon us all, and i have taken it apon myself to troubleshoot this issue for along time now. I have put many hours testing each variable i could possibly come up with. Tonite I have located a cause that is definitive. This many not be the only cause, but in this particular case it was...and it is due to SH3 Commander. Now let me emphasize, its not SH3Commander itself thats the problem, of course, but rather, the data that was inside my particular install of Commander.

What I am recommending to people who are getting reapeated save game crashes is to point your Sh3 install to a fresh install of Commander. Over time i belive that Commander can get corrupted with bad data and should perodically be cleaned up. If anyone wants to verify this and let me know that would be helpful.. But like I say in this case im 100% certain that this was the issue.

The hint was that the corrupted save would only occur when a ship had been sunk...not a damaged ship on the surface but only after a ship had gone under the water...no save would load after that point...reintstalling Commander, this no longer occurs...

good luck and may we defeat this bastard once and for all
