SH3 is infamous for corrupt saves. Keep backing up to previous saves until one works. Save early and save often.

You know,in 5 years of playing I have never experienced corrupt saves,except one time I saved while submerged and the game crashed to desktop upon reloading.I had to start the patrol again (I guess this is a corrupt save then hehe)
I suspected having anisotropic filtering enabled caused problems,upon disabling it my game has been rock solid since

Do you use Catalyst? You mean you set it to Application Controlled?

I use Catalyst drivers yes,and used to have AF enabled in SH3,but now I have it set to application controlled.Some games can have problems if you force certain effects and they arent properly supported,and Sh3 is possibly such a game.I also enable Catalyst A.I and set it to standard,this optimizes graphics for you without any noticable loss to quality or performance.Another option I enable is one called 'geometry instancing' ,this allows the video card buffers to render repetitive objects such as trees or grass for example a lot quicker by using a default model and replicating it where needed instead of rendering 100s of different trees or grasses causing a huge strain on available video memory.Would you really notice the difference?on a tree or patch of grass I mean.
NOTE - my video card is an ageing ATI X800 Pro 256MB
4 GB system RAM

Where is that option "geometry instancing"? Also what are your settings for AA and AAA? I am asking because I have some Black Screens of Death and I have to reboot. I have checked EVERYTHING about software/hardware that you can imagine and now I am searching for the settings. I have SAPPHIRE HD4850-512, on a PCIe 1.0x16 motherboard.
