What do I do about it?

You may want to post this on the RFB thread, include activated mod list.

I have yet to induce a CTD with a saved game while surfaced, submerged and with merchants or groups of ships.

Happy Hunting!

I gravitate between TMO and RFB. I just haven't gotten around to updating the signature. I'll do that most rickey-tick.

>>Wilke-

Thanks for that, I'll relegate this sort of thing to the RFB thread from here on.

Rgr that. Do you have each in its own SH4 install, with MultiSH4 used to make them both use their own savegame folders in My Documents?

This is important because if you save while you have mod A enabled, then disable A and enable B, you will still have files left-over from A in My Documents, which might not work with files from B. The result is corrupted saves and other weird things. To be safe one should always delete the SH4 folder in My Documents or at least start a fresh career when changing from for example TMO to RFB, the mods are so different.

Well, I did a fresh install, deleted all the old careers and now it is CTD'ing whenever I try to save during a patrol.

I GIVE UP!! I'll come back to RFB when the new version comes out. It's making me crazy.

BINGO! I did that ~ deleted everything in the doc's folder, and now she works fine.

Thanks, for that! I hope others pick up on this.
