Must happen on some configs only then, have used several versions of SH3 Weather with several mods and never lost a save, be it on surface, submerged, with or without ships around...

I've not done it, but reading the thread, if you find it happening again open these files that are in SilentHunterIII/data/Campaigns/Campaign folder,

Campaign_LND.mis
Campaign_RND.mis
Campaign_SCR.mis

and change the line in the top section of settings which is marked [Mission]
that has WindSpeed=0 (which is hopefully what is causing the problem) to something else, ie WindSpeed=1.000000

Here we are 2 years down the line and were still tweaking the hell outa 3 and 4 gets released in 2 weeks man i think ubi should have focused on either another patch or a patch and a official add on for 3. Becouse there is a whole bunch of things i would love to see implemented in 3 oh well wishfull thinking:hmm:

But blowin ballast didnt work for me. I get crushed always when it does that.

Yup remember below a certain depth physics take over hence the expression crush depth the weight of the water over comes the weight of the air in your tanks etc theres an article some where on the net on it. If i find it i'll post it for ya it even gives you the proper math and physics etc

Well I reloaded patrol 9, and well, I had just enough fuel to get back to Kiel and no more. I decided not to dock at Vigo for resupply after all. I took the Channel and boy was it hazardous! I was lucky to make it, in fact I am surprised I did! I think this calls for a patrol report!

So what can I do to stop this crash dive happening again?

One other thing, when I went to external view, that was all screwy as well from the water's surface up!

I would try and not save while submerged that should help.

Hi, did you take a screenshot of the external view ?
