Saving games...

[Chubster]

Well it seems SH doesnt like saving ongoing, long patrols. Been out at sea since the beginning of war and it is now 2nd May and I am waiting for the Coral Sea fleet to turn up.

I saved just before getting there...and have tried several searches....(nothing yet if anybody wants to tell me where to look ).

Once the day goes past the specific dates I have been reloading and then searching again, well trying to. 9 / 10 times SH will crash. When it does load I get some dumb arse crew member telling me each and every torpedo that has missed in short order.. Torpedo missed Sir, Torpedo missed Sir, Torpedo missed Sir....yes yes yes...dont tell all the crew they will think im a right donut.

Now the clocks all screwy.....it is telling me its 15.13 but its night time outside.

I do not constantly overwrite a saved game, fresh one each time but notice they are around 6mb? Why so large? Isnt it just a text file with previous achievements or is it saving everything I have done in the last three months?

Is there a "best" way to save
