Savegames problem

Pas de probleme! Look SHIV is as fussy as SHIII, don't save just after sinking enemy ships, or submerged. I suggest save on the surface, with no other units nearby. Otherwise you risk what you found. You noticed the crash files are larger, probably with lots of oter units around I guess?

Also try giving all your saves unique names and try not overwrite saves to much, what are your system specs? I've had saves as large as 18mb, wonder if it could be a memory prob:hmm:
Hope this helps

1.5gb isnt to low, though most recomend 2gb, are you using vista

by anychance as that uses up about 750mb of memory straight away, if not try the unique save names like I said see if that helps.

Thank you for tour answers,

I use XP and I'm thinking about buying more RAM

... I always try to save under a new filename, so I'm waiting for patch 1.3!!!!!!

Remember as I said save with no other units around.

To save only when surfaced and no other units around can make problems!

If I am fighting a convoy it takes some time to disengage. If my wife says it is time for bed, the she has almost no understanding of me having to finish my convoy encounter before coming. THE BED WILL THEN BE QUITE COLD!
