I think that is a Windows issue. When I still had WinXP installed on my old computer, I occasionally would have save game issues when saving near a convoy/land...

But after WinXP cratered the partition, I decided to do what I had been wanting to do for years, and I installed Linux. Using a program called Wine, I can run SH3 and SH4 (and most of my other Windows games) in Linux, and with SH3 I can save ANYWHERE I WANT.

Underwater? Check.
Near Land? Check.
Close to ships? Check.
Save over old saves? Check.
While under attack by escorts? Check.
With nearby aircraft? Check.
With a torpedo in route to hit a ship? Check.

With all of the above? Check.

Most (all?) of the save game issues went away for me.
I've yet to have a game fail to load. Unless I use SH3 Commander, and I accidentally load an older game. Then it gives me grief. But only if SH3C is used before I start the game.

Personal complaint with SH3? I can't sit on the bottom.
I did it in Aces of the Deep. Attack a convoy, sink a ship, get hounded by the escorts...
"bottom the boat", and the Escort would "lose" me and run off to go catch up to the convoy.
Then I would surface and make an "end run" while reloading, and do it again.
I was a really massive pain in the caboose with a Type IIB.
I was even more so with a VII and a IX.
AND I usually did this in the "lethal" English Channel.
Now in SH3 I usually prefer deep water, for obvious reasons. (unless I decide to hunt the DDs....)

P.S. Sad part is, I remember reading this thread when it was "new", long before I joined subsim...
