Ahoy fellow Captains, could use some GW advice

Hello Captains,

I just wanted to start out by saying, I have been lurking this board for years, and feel like I know allot of you already. This has been a fantastic source of information and amusement. I have been driving subs since Silent Service in the late 1980's, finished SH3 and SH4 more times than I care to admit, but im not a purist. I cheat with the fuel, as I hate running out in the middle of an ocean.

Anyhow, Das Boot is my favorite movie, and I really have been trying to spice up my favorite subsim...SH3. I have read the lengthy manual included with GW, and by the way, very well done. I know the stated limitations and bugs, which there are many with the stock game, but my issue is this...When I have GW3.0 installed, my saves crash ALLOT(and yes, im surfaced). My install is patched to the last patch, and the ONLY mod installed is GW3. I crash so much on loading saves that I have uninstalled GW at least 5 times and fresh installed SH3 to run through the vanilla game again. Help from other experienced Capt's would be appreciated, since this is what you guys have been so good at.

I have finished all campaigns in SH4 (including Wolves) many times, but SH3 has everything I want in a subsim. My boat of choice is the VIIC. Please help me bring new life to my favorite subsim.

/Salute
