Save game issue?

If you are in your patrol area, leave the area before saving otherwise your progress in the area is reset when you save inside. (That's not critical however, you just won't get renown points to distribute for your crew, or you must redo the 48 hour patrol in that zone).

Are you saying that we shouldnt save inside any patrol area at ALL if we want the renown points?

I fear I may have corrupted my campaign by sailing pretty close to the Danzig Harbor. Is this really something I have to worry about?

Only small percentage of gamesaves may become corrupted. I also usually save near friendly and even enemy units and gamesaves work just fine. However, I always keep may gamesaves from my last patrol if something goes wrong... Saving game when enemy airplanes are in the vicinity have tendency to brake savegame more often than regular surface units...

Just during 48 hours that are required to complete the objective "Patrol grid ..... for 48 hours". The issue is that timer counting these 48 hours gets reset every time you (save or load - not sure on this one) game, so if you save often you will never complete this objective.

Best way is to reach patrol area, cruise around for 49 hours (game time) within one playing session (you can use TC to do it fast), then save after objective is completed - and you are then free to play however you like.
