There might be a conflict with whatever mods you might be running.
Have you tried the game totally clean and stock and still have this problem?
I run on Win XP and have no issues and can save with a convoy and escorts on top of me and start right up where I left off, no issues and no CTD.
I play with VERY limited mods to avoid any conflicts.
I am sorry to see these crappy problems inflicted on fellow gamers.

I played it clean for about one month after I bought it without problems. However, it's an unfinished game without GWX. No Kiel Canal! Third iteration, now that's just lazy in my view.

Maybe I missed something, getting old, have you tried to play just stock with GWX 3.0 only? No other mods at all?
When in the blue moon did I become a chinese sailor, Neal what are you up to?

That's what I was doing yesterday when the war was brought to an abrupt end once more. I had previously reinstalled stock and GWX only, just days before because I though SH3 Commader was the culprit.

I won't be trying anything else because I've lost patience. Currently eyeing up older games as at least there's a possibility modders may have fixed them.

I doesn`t read that the game hasn`t patched. There are different versions.
Do you maybe use a wrong patch?

You do realise that once you start using mod(s) Ubi isnt responsible anymore if the game works or not.

Also, you cant blame Ubi fully, it's your mix of hardware and software that is propably causing the problem, I dont think any game company has the time or resources to test every possible combination of hardware and software to see if the game runs.

If the game had been a finished product - at the third attempt - then no mods would have been required.

Developers are more interested in making money than making games and as long as fanboys keep buying them then they will keep on dipping your pockets and laughing behind your back.
