Game crashes when attempting to load a saved game

Hi Jimbuna,

Yes this is the most obvious variable ( playing a non GWX mission under GWX), so I am doing another test to see if this is the problem. However, after hearing from the others who are experiencing the same problems, I am not fully confident that this is the problem. My gut feeling is that a cfg file is getting changed/corrupted somewhere. I am determined to trouble shoot this fully and if I should be so lucky to figure this out I will post my findings here. There may be something getting written to these profile/saved games folders that are located in the "my documents/SH3 folder". One possibility is that I have not installed the game to the defaul C drive but rather to my E drive where all my games go. Also My document folder is located on my E drive as well. Can anybody else who is having saved game crashes verify if they are also instlaling to a non default folder? This would be one more test I will perforn. Once I get to know the files better, I will be in a better position to see what gets written apon saving and what that gets compared to in the main CFG file.

Sitting at the bottom at 180 meters doing nothing gives one plenty of time to reflect........

Happy sailing
