Welcome aboard creativeballance.

We need you to check the keel, make sure it's straight.

Your problem is a known bug. I bet you overwrote your saves. The save files in sh4 are actually a bit complicated and there is a lot of information that is saved. Continual overwrites will cause the files to become corrupted.

Save each time in its own file. What I do is make a master save with my name while in the office. Then subsequent saves are my name then a number. For instance, "fireftr","fireftr1","fireftr2", etc. That works successfully for me. To keep from making an unmanageble list, I delete save files regularly. Every time in port, I start over.

The standard recommendation for saves:
The best time to save is while in port, it has the least information to save.
When not in port, try to save during the day, clear weather, nothing in sensor range, and on the surface.

I will tell you, once I started saving new each time, I didn't have any trouble no matter what the conditions were.
