After I sink a DD:
If I hit captains log the game freezes. Also, if I save after I sink a Polish DD and later try to load that game, the game just freezes with a black screen and doesn't finish loading.

This is the second problem I have had. I cannot use the Trevally Tutorials: when I mouse over them I cannot select them and an error "Corrupt Automation File" displays.

Also, I have the steam version so I can't use the patcher.

Hi! I've had the same issue in the first mission with sober's mod list. I tried disabling various combinations of the mods and patching with TDW's patcher. Nothing worked.

However, what I've noticed is that I was always heading to the patrol area at flank speed (it's close, no fuel worries) which meant that I made contact with the two polish dds before hostilities officially began. I sunk the ships on 31/08, but war started on 01/09.

So, I tried getting there with a slower speed, making contact with the dds after midnight, so 01/09. After sinking the ships I could see the captain's log just fine, with the mission's primary objective complete, and after saving the game it loaded fine.

I hope this helps!

I can confirm the above story .. had the same issue .. it solved itself by me changing my habits and getting there a little later in the game. Never connected the dots till now. Thanx

Trevally, tried, no luck. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, made sure everything was deleted. Put just the UI and the Tutorial mods on, still got a corrupt automation file error.

Ill try arriving a little later on the DDs, after war is declared and see if that fixes my cap log crash.
