As the renown counter reads 99,999 that might be the issue good catch.

That's some serious sinking of ships...

I had no idea that the renown could be the problem. My game is still crashing like crazy whenever I try to load a save. Sometimes it crashes outright and other times it will start loading, then I'll get the "Pleast Wait" screen and then a CTD.

So is there any way to fix this issue with the renown? I've had to restart my career three times already and it's looking like I might have to restart it for the forth time.

And in regards to the ship in my pic. It's the Admiral Scheer pocket battleship. I'm playing using the OM mod, and the BB is a compatible add-on for it. The reason for so much renown is quite simple really, I've been sinking many, many ships. I can decimate an entire 30 or 40 ship convoy with a ship like this unlike a uboat, so the renown accumulates very quickly. I've sunk almost 1.5 million tons in just two patrols.

I would appreciate any help in getting the renown issue fixed.

EDIT - I did search on these forums for renown crashes but didn't find anything, however, I found some threads about people asking how to edit their renown in already started careers. I found the file CareerTrack.upc and opened it. Apparently I have just over 173,000 renown up to this point. Should I simply put this back down to 0 and continue playing? Would this be a good way to get around this issue?

You need to ask the mod maker, I just know it was a problem with some previous playable ships, but few patrol around sinking that many... which is fine for you, would be boring as hell to me.

Your saves are corrupt, so start over and dock before you fill up with points and see what it doe's.

Yeah it's a different way of playing certainly. I enjoy being able to shoot it out with some of the capital ships in the game instead of constantly hiding from destroyers or whatnot.

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say there. If I dock before filling up the renown, then that's not really a fix of any kind, because it will just get filled up on the following patrol. Or are you saying to dock before filling it up and then edit the CareerTrack.upc file so that it reads a very small amount of renown? Can you elaborate a bit on this?
