are you guys saving several times in one patrol, where each save is a different name (taking another save slot?)

When I save, it is always under one name(one save slot as you call it). I've read where people do rolling saves under different names though.

At lostsm's suggestion I started an additional career (from Kiel instead of Wilhelmshaven, Type IIA instead of Type VIIB - just to make sure nothing matched), went out into the North Sea, saved and exited out of the game. Started-up the game again (via SH3 Commander) and lo & behold every saved game since then (touch wood) has loaded just fine. Coincidence? Happenstance? Or perhaps the cumulative effect of my curses at the screen? (I've always been a firm believer that if you swear enough at anything that's being recalcitrant, it'll start working properly)

. Whatever, all seems to be ok again. Thanks for all the suggestions, knowledge shared is knowledge increased. Stay watertight!

Damn! Looks like I spoke too soon. Just tried to load-in last night's saved game and it crashed again. Shame, I'd just come across (and sunk) one of the Q-Ships. Time to start working back through the saves again, lol.
