My advice is to reload your last save game and try again, if it still CTD then load the save game prior to the latest. You do use more than a single save game file, don't you?

I typically use at least two save game files for each patrol, MISSION_## and MISSION_##_PATROL - and alternate saves between the two files. I will save the game after, or before a major event like inserting troops, entering a port for photo recon, attacking a task force, upon reaching the 1000 mile radius of my home port, etc~ It may not be the best method, but it prevents me from losing to awful much if something goes horribly wrong like it has with you.

Save game files can hold a LOT of information and the more info, the more likely that something will be screwed. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. I am never afraid to save a game at any time, day, night, surfaced, submerged, contacts, no contacts- it doesn't matter much for me. But other people insist that you should treat saves like fine china- save on the surface at full stop, calm seas, no contacts, etc~ To each his (or her) own, I suppose.

I would go along with Joe. I don't think it really matters about being on the surface, far from land, etc., etc. I think people are projecting from their experiences with SH3.

If you cannot salvage your latest patrol and the saves seem inexplicably messed up, it could be that you have a mod problem that requires attention. I've only had problems once with a save not loading, and that turned out to be because of a new mod and conflicts.

i have more than 22 save games, one do every time after sunk a ship, 1 before enter in the canal for reach Kiel ( if you know what i mean ), and one when i was in the port of kiel and i must attrach....another problem is the fact that i can't go out from the map view....for example...i was watching the map, if i go in the controll room all is ok, but if i try to use the external free come, or go to the bridge of the uboot, the game CTD, the same thing happen in the canal before reach kiel...i can't watch out of my uboot, but only after an half of the canal and in the port of kiel.

You should post your full mod list. Someone may be able to figure out what's going on. I haven't played OM myself, so I can't give you any specific help.
