Crash, simdata.dll

Any news here? I'm having the same issue.

What, exactly, is happening with your situation please.

I'll transpose what I wrote in another thread:

"...I was on a rather successful patrol and did several (read: five) saves along the way while transiting to my patrol zone. I exited the game and when I tried to load my saves, I was greeted with a crash just as the "not so long ago" screen came up. I tried approximately 6-8 times per save, working my way back after giving up on each level until the only save I was able to recover was the "in port before patrol" one. It's frustrating enough to make me want to roll back to an earlier GWX just so I can play a game and have confidence in re-loading it later. For what it's worth, this was strictly with SH3 1.4b with GWX 2 overtop and no other mods. I've since applied other mods like OLC GUI and they have seemingly no effect on how a save game is loaded. Help!"

If you get a chance in the future,
save all the bad files and upload them so I can look at them.
I know it's a pain to do this , but it gives me solid things to work with.
To replicate is a long, may never happen type deal.
The more solid data you all can send us?
The quicker we can hump it like a Rabid Rabbit!!!

I've done a complete wipe of everything SH3 related from my hdd and reinstalled the lot from scratch. I'm about to try loading another new save game and if it crashes I'll copy the crash report and the savegame.

Use the DVD to uninstall for best results.
ANY little thing left behind could cause problems.

Yup, I did that. Dare I say that things are looking up? I've been able to reload the save game once and am trying for a second time, pushing my luck.
