There are several mods out there, that if you had previously had them activated, and then de-activated them and did not empty the Save folder (or still had them activated), that you can end up with that situation. It is recommended that you empty the Save folder (C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4) and get rid of the bad data. If you are in the middle of a career and want to continue with that career instead, do NOT delete the data yet, but do NOT attempt to get close to the grouping. You should instead avoid the area from your Saved location, and return to base via a different route, hunting and sinking as you can along the way. There are several potential problem spots in the game, with two of them involving these growing groups traveling in a north-northeast direction, basically in line with French Indo-China, Formosa, Japan and the Kurile Islands. As time passes, the group grows larger and larger, and eventually make it to where you cannot continue the game until you do empty the Save folder. One thing to remember about mods is that the game basically runs off of the data in the Save folder, so when you change a mod set-up, you often have to clear the Save data, so that the Save folder "refreshes" its information.
