Crash after upgrading sub?

Hi all

My first post here and wondered if anyone could help me out?

Currently experiencing a crash upon entering back into a new patrol after upgrading my VIIB, specifically, after upgrading either radar (second gen) or replacing a the flak gun to any type. Essentially, any sub upgrades changing any visual element of the sub. Upgrading crew with medals etc does not cause the crash, neither does changing torpedo types.

Crash occurs during the loading screen after entering into a new patrol, 99% of the loading bar completes then "Silent Hunter 3 has stopped working". I can enter into a new patrol perfectly fine without making these upgrades.

I have tried changing the name of the save file (creating a whole new save etc), which also generates a new patrol area requirement, makes no difference.

Currently using GWX Gold, and SH3 is the Steam edition. Running on Windows 10 Pro, game is running as administrator and in compatibility mode. Activated mods are: 16k atmosphere, Alternate loadscreen, Axis Med. aircraft skins, Enhanced Damage Effects, Late War Sensors Snorkel Antennas, Main Movie "Das Boot", Open Hatch Mod, VIIC41 player Sub, and English Nav map and Grid refs.

Lastly, the in game date is May 4th 1943. Current base is Brest, France.

System Specs:
Windows 10 64bit
Intel Core i5
16GB RAM
AMD RX480 8GB

The game has always run without issue (none more than a slight annoyance anyway) up until this point. Can provide logs, settings, etc. if required.

Many thanks is advance, hoping someone will be able to assist
