Single missions leaking into career saves?

I am running SH3 1.4b with GWX 3.0 on Windows 8.1, and after reinstalling running as admin in compatibility mode and disabling UAC and my antivirus, I've reduced in-game CTDs to a manageable level (runs OK as long as I don't save during a mission and don't go over 256x time compression in high traffic areas). However, I've recently noticed a strange error - after checking out XXI in the GWX single mission "April Fools", I went back to my career profile and noticed that the latest career save showed me commanding a Type XXI instead of the Type VIIB that should have been there. I loaded the "in base after mission" save just above it, but it too was a bit buggy - I received more crew medals even though they'd already been assigned. Other than that, it appears to still be working, but this worries me. Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do?

It breaks my heart that this game is so unstable on Windows 8. I never had an issue with Windows 7. SH3/GWX is one of my favourites, but the crashes and bugs are wearing on my nerves and I'm starting to think I may have to shelve this one permanently
