Hmmm... What I've done lately is that I've deleted the save files manually after finishing a patrol, i.e. when SH3 and SH3Cmdr both have registered the gig as completed and changed my status to "in port before XXX". And I've experienced no problems whatsoever!

Canning them in-game seems, however, to be a different kettle of monsters altogether. I managed to junk my 1st career, too, when I deleted the saves from there

"what you should NEVER do with your SH3 files" :hmm:

Take out an insurance policy:

Back up C/MyDocs/SH3 after each patrol

Good to know this. I usually delete my older saved games from MIITW, but after hearing this, will not do it in SHIII.

Yes, I can attest to that. After you restart your computer, you are unable to view your saves. Fortunately, in that case, the fix is easy. Just recreate a career called Player, and your old saves come back. Jimbuna (?) has another fix for this IIRC.

Unfortunately, no hope once you tamper with the files within a career.

My careers don't last long enough for storage problems. As I play Did, I delete the career after the funeral.

If I use a save during a patrol, I always delete that OUTSIDE SHIII. No problem then.
