i feel pretty sorry for all those who have problems saving while submerged etc...i never seem to have any trouble.

welcome aboard mate.

if you have to lose the carreer... then channel your anger against britain and her lifelines in your next patrol.

I've probably said this before but I'll say it again: I've never seen a game with so many issues. If it wasn't for GWX I wouldn't bother with it.

Welcome aboard & sorry to hear about your career loss. Blame it on the lazy & stupid developers...

Neverwinter Nights 2 tops it. It seems that save corruption depends on air humidity, the current airspeed of an unladen swallow (african) and/or how much fuel there's in the tank of my car. The first game in my life I simply let go.

LOL :rotfl:

Seriously, I spent 2 weeks scouring the internet for a solution and found... a lot of them (ha! you thought I'd write 'none'! Ha! Ha!). None worked. Add to that the fact that POlish publisher finally stopped localzing new Atari patches (there wer, oh, 600 megs of those? or close to it) and focused on Mask of Batrayer add-on, and you've got one pissed off gamer. True, there's a new pack (NW2 + MoB) but I already have NW2 and it doesn't effin' work.

Man, that must be sweet! Personally, I now operate by the rule of making sure there's no land within 50km (verify on the nav map), then I make sure there are no surface contacts, then I dive to make sure there are no periscope contacts, then I resurface and double check that there are no map contacts. THEN, if it's all clear, I save. It takes a bit of time, and it sometimes is annoying to leave a tight spot only to have to sneak in again, but it's worked 100% of the time since I've done it. Or maybe 98% of the time. The other thing is to save relatively frequently.

I have had this problem several times.

This is how I save:

As I get close to when I want to quit for the day, I save. Then carry on a bit longer (maybe an hour game--then three to five minutes at TCx1. Save and leave.

If my game crashes to desktop when loading, I go back to the previous save.

Good Luck, Kaleun.

It seems to be like a lottery when saving games. You can do all the right things; saving while surfaced, be nowhere within 50 km of land or contacts, etc. and the game still may CTD upon reload. If I have a successful patrol going I just don't want to risk losing it so I end it early. That's irritating because I might've been able to sink another ship or two.

Maybe if you check the weather settings on the saved game?
I think that's one of the settings that gets messed up?
There was a thread about it awhile ago,
Anyone remember it?
