Fubar Save files

[G2B]

One for the books, I got offered a new command end of March 42 out of Fremantle. Sent to Pearl so just for kicks I requested a transfer hoping to get sent back to Fremantle, nope sent to Mare. Here's the kicker left Mare for a patrol area around Celebes, stop at Midway and fuel up, stop at Darwin and fuel up. Fun voyage of sinking anything I found on the way.

Finally arrive on station in early May, complete objective sent to another then another, good patrol lots of lone merchants. I really think command has forgotten about us, usually after 3 maybe 4 objective get the RTB or Happy Hunting message. Not this time, no flash message to reassign to Fremantle either. Fuel running low almost out of fish left objective 5 unfinished after patrolling and sinking 3 merchants in the Makassar Straits, usually after sinking one objective is complete.

Something is amiss, so I open my save files and find all the info about new command and San Francisco and Sea Trials Gato, nothing after that no record of merchants sunk or where I was sent nothing. Here's a new boat take her out for sea trials and here is a mission to Celebes area but don't tell anyone your going there.

For some reason files were not being saved correctly but I was able to save the game normally and reload with no problems, just no info after leaving Mare was ever written Checked all the file paths and everything seems to be right. It was a great career Any thoughts on what may have happened?
