Unfortunately I deleted all of my previous save games when I started my current patrol.
I try to keep the number of save games to a minimum as twice on previous patrols, (once prior to installing TWOS, and once after), all save games including autosave became corrupted after a certain point and would CTD when trying to load.
On both occasions that this happened, the two things common were: many save games and also an uncredited plane crash in the area.
Not sure if it was the number of saves or the crashed plane (saved well out of visual range) or both that caused the corruption, but after going back and finding a previous save that loaded and deleting the saves prior to and after,(and staying out of sight of any aircraft that might decide to crash just for the hell of it) the game seemed to work normally again.
With regard to the Tonnage bar and Campaign progression, has anybody just used the "Continue Campaign" option exclusively to reload their game from the start?
The reason I ask is that I decided to use this option on one patrol for the sake of "realism" instead of Sober's "Dead is dead" mod (which I gather is completely terminal)
Everything including Tonnage bar, reposition orders etc was working perfectly until I decided to see if my Flack gunner had shown any signs of improvement after his promotion, by staying on the surface during an air attack.
Unfortunately for the the crew and I, he was still as useless as tits on a bull and we were promptly dispatched to the seabed on short notice with the autosave deciding to do it's thing right then. Lying on the ocean bottom, with batteries and anything else able to help us back to the surface ruined, boat full of smoke, sparks and seawater and all the crew flatly refusing to lift a finger to help including the cook,
my resolve started to weaken and instead dying and becoming born again with a new career, I decided to load my save game!!
From that point on, all of the campaign progress automation stopped working. This game has so many files duplicated and triplicated throughout the various folders, I'm wondering if there is some other linkage to campaign progression that is now being bypassed with normal game saves under certain conditions that has been introduced by some small, inadvertent change somewhere within the file structure.
When I start my next patrol, I'm going to just use the "Continue Campaign" option to load the game and see if anything in the aforementioned observation is repeatable.
BTW....Fantastic to see Sober, Gap, Stormy and TDW visiting this forum during the past couple of days!!!
