Agree, if I want a save named 2nd patrol 8 and there's one already with that name, it's best to delete that save and make a new save with the same name. If I just overwrite the existing save I found the problem comes up much more frequently.
Even when I am careful to avoid overwriting it still happens occasionally, when it happens frequently I start looking for causes. Recently I started getting frequent CTD from save games, which is why I made a clean new install on the C drive - I suspected running the game on the F drive (a solid state drive) with the save games on the C drive (hard coded my documents nonsense, what were they thinking?) might be a factor. Probably not though, since once I started adding mods back in it happened on the C drive, so the SSD wasn't the problem.
I should also mention I have the Direct2Drive version patched to 1.4, haven't gotten around to buying the 1.5 patch yet.
