As I understand it if you make a save but do not exit and that save is bad for some reason, then all subsequent saves will also be corrupt, like a chain reaction. I always save and exit after a session playing SH3 and each time I do this I save under a different name. That way if my most recent save goes bad, I know that the previous save did work. I lose a bit of progress but not the whole patrol.

Hopefully the project team looking at the save game problem will find the cause and a solution.

I save all the time.. and each save is, "111" "222" and so on.. Of course for "666" I use "676" just because the devil is bad

I get up to "2020" which is 20 saved games.. Last night, from 20 down, number 8 or so worked.. It took over and hour..

Which brings me to another question with out posting again..

HOw long does it take you guys to load the game? Mine is about 4-5 minutes to load a saved game.
