Where do you start?

Hi Alice:

I've never had any problems adding "free" crewmen or changing the torpedo loadout, provided the torpedos that I swap my default ones for don't cost extra. If you make your 1st patrol a "shakedown" cruise you can avoid the bug altogether. Leave the harbor like as you would on any other patrol. Stop and do a few maneuvers(sp?) & then go back home. You won't get any renown (you won't lose any either) but you don't have to deal with the f-ing bug in that career.

I always play it safe & never save while submerged. At some point in time you will experience a CTD. I think just about everyone here has.

Hope this helps you out a bit. I got to get to bed now as I'm making far too many spelling errors.
