One million bloody curses!

I tried myself and cannot replicate that problem, so I haven't a clue what is wrong there.
That "no memory" error is really a mystery. I don't even know what it means, let alone how or why that could be happening now.
There is certainly nothing new in this update that should make it any better or worse on the whole "being able to save" thing!

Deleting options file and start a new games not solved the problem. It crashed like earlier.

I just tried myself on Standard Storyline, default settings, both skipping the tutorial and playing it through all the way.
Cannot replicate the problem.

Have you tried the the savegame I posted above?

Game crash every time I try to save it.

Confirmed with this error:

RUNTIME ERROR - file: seadogs.c; line: 725
invalid index 1800 [size:1800]

That is probably because @Jack Rackham upped the size of the "item array"; .
I had hoped that wouldn't mess up existing savegames, but apparently it does and I should have enforced a new game to be started.

Looks like you CAN get your savegames to work again by opening PROGRAM\ITEMS\items.h and changing the numbers 2000 here back to 1800 like this:

#define MAX_ITEMS           1800     //JRH was 1700
int ITEMS_QUANTITY = 0;
#define MAX_RANDITEMS         1800 // MUST BE CAREFUL, JRH was 1700

That works for me.

Works for me too. Thanks!

Good to hear! "Solved" it is; thanks for catching!
