My save files just broke. Torpedoes are gone?!

don't use autosaves;
do always save in a separate slot (you can erase them later);

That's pretty it, and if additionally you always save in bunker you are safe if things go wrong, the more saves you have, the less you'll have to replay.


Now, if despite of all that you get a corrupt save, there is only 1 workaround I know about:
------------------
IF YOU GET A CORRUPTED SAVEGAME...
Sometimes you can rescue the save by deleting the file "Special.txt" from your savegame folder (...Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SaveGames\0000000*). Reload the save and pray...
------------------


I hope this last one will get you out of trouble.

Thanks man. I'll try that. I've been keeping my manual saves to only 4 just to not clutter the menu. Didn't know you could delete them. I guess I'll save a lot more from now on.

I did realize that it's not *that* bad. Nothing's stopping me from just leaving the task force alone after all. So I guess I'll just play it on from there. Sad to have lost all that tonage but oh well. It's still early in the war.
