I recently started a new career and was on my second patrol when I came across an amazingly lightly escorted convoy.....about three C 2s ...five small merchants.....and a tanker....well I raced ahead and got myself into a good position.....a flower corvette was getting a little too close so I dispatched him quickly....the only other escort that remained was an armed trawler which somehow got lost....he just disappeared...so...I had just sent my first fish to the lead C2 and my computer picks this time to give me the msg...Silent Hunter has encountered an error and must shut down...any unsaved work will be lost......It was going to be like shooting fish in a barrel......of all the stinking times for this to happen.......sheesh......there would have been medals for everyone for this one....but ...........

Rgr

I run SH3 with Win98 which means I can only save at the end of a patrol.

I feel your pain

I only have onboard sound, and sometimes a sinking ship will cause my game to crash. My only solution so far is to save right after every torpedo hit, just in case.

For those of you who can't save in patrol, I'm sorry.

Maybe you could open the suspect sound files with the sound recorder program and resave them in a lower quality to fix this?
Or update your motherboard drivers if you haven't already?

Or try lowering your hardware aceleration for sound in windows

I lowered the sound settings some time ago, and ended up getting loud noises at weird times. I had to raise them again.

My only hope is to get a decent sound card; but that requires finding a decent job first.
