We may need a bit more detail to help you. Im not sure what your problem is exactly. Post screenshots, system specs, sh3 version number and mod lists. Are your saves loading or not. When during loading is the crashing occuring or are the save files just not showing in the pre- game interface. Have you move the files somewhere SH3 isnt expecting them to be. Your saves are kept in my documents/sh3. If they have been placed anywhere else the game will not read them. Thats the best I can do fio you without more info.

Have you tried renaming the folder to a different name?

For example if your name is "John" try renaming it to "JohnX"

I think that solves the problem sometimes.

Did you by any chance run the game as administrator, and in previous times as an ordinary user account? Or vice-versa? If so, then the game may be providing the savegames from a Documents/SH3 folder of another user account. Check whether the desired files are stored in the other folder:

C:\Users\accountname\Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\Commandername
