Have you tried loading an earlier save point in the career?

Would be good if you can provide some details about when it happens, what boat type, what year is the career? What grid are you in when the CTD happens? What mods do you have loaded? Can you get the offset of the CTD from the crash details? Click show details and then post the offset and error message that gets displayed. This makes it easier to diagnose.

From what you've said I assume you are running two parallel careers. It seems that some event occurs in the one that CTD's that is not happening in the other career, hence the need for date and boat type info. Also what flotilla and harbour are you running out of?

Default CTD

I agree with TarJak; when this has happened to me, it has been because I screwed-up the SH3 folder in My Documents while trying to run more than one career and more than one install.
Use the MultiInstall mod and this will not be a problem if you have more than one install.

This has been known to happen to many others before, just ask Brag about his troubles with Balz's career getting jakered.

I'm not sure if the cause or cure was ever found, but it's not a bad idea to make at least weekly backups of your career into a seperate folder located somewhere else on your hard drive. For those who are really worried, make a backup after every patrol or session.

I thought SH3 Commander had a career backup feature? If it doesn't ought to!
