You're experiencing a common glitch with SH3 in general. Sometimes if you save too close to other ships, your game will crash to desktop. Sorry, can't help you get it back, but try avoid saving next to other ships and there won't be any problems

Before saving, dive, turn your engines off, go to the hydrophones station, turn up the ambience volume knob and listen. If you hear a ship, don't save. Also, don't save if you're less than 50km away from land.

It doesn't happen all the time. But does your CTD happen to every save you have?

The save game bug is really hard to sort out
Some ppl never get it no matter what they do and others quite often

Nothing has changed in GWX 3 that will affect you being able to save
I rarely save in patrol but did yesterday and lucky I did as CTD later on way home ( my fault as emptied the message folder in mid patrol )
3 times the save game crashed
4th time was the charm
