On my own in the house atm, so nobody to whinge at, lol. So far this evening I've spent almost an hour and have dumped five (yes, 5) saved games, trying to get back into my career. That's roughly 4¾hrs of (pretty successful) game-play from last night totally wasted - and I still haven't found a save that'll load yet, might have to dump another three or four for all I know. I've read threads where people say they've played SH3 for years and never had a save fail to load! How do they DO it? I haven't updated my calculations yet, but on this re-install (new machine) I at about 33% failure-rate for my saves. It's also taking anything up to an hour to get playing as I work my way backwards one save at a time to find one that isn't corrupted. Give me strength! Ok, whinge over and time to try another saved game.

Ok, that's it. Career terminated as a waste of time and effort. It'll be faster to simply start a new one. Two more saves failed, that's 50% of the saves in that mission (#11).
