I finally am 10-15 miles east of Gibraltar in the Mare Nostrum campaign. I save my games in at least 3 versions during a mission, one is at least on surface with no ships around and at TC=1. Every save is CTD.
This is one I hope I do not have to start over at the base. Windows 7, 64 bit.
I deleted older games from SH5 folder through the game. I have not defragged my hard drive in hopes to recover. I have found out that defragging will clear the bits or the ** or the ?? that operating systems use to say a file is there but not truly deleted.

I have the latest version of Norton utilities and the "recover deleted file option" recovered no SH5 game file data. Anyone know for sure of a program that will recover game data from your documents folder?

I am proficient in the registry. Anything I can change for future games that may be affected by registry entries?

2nd option: What file(s) data do I change to get me 10-20 miles east of Gibraltar with a little manipulation? Too complicated or too many variables? I am thinking maybe this can be done if I start a Mare Nostrum campaign over, save the game, change data, and then be east of Gibraltar quickly.
