All saved games load as paused - will not un-pause

well im sure you corrupted some of the files when it crashed, if the game runs fine on its own without using saved games then I thing the game is fine and its your saved games that are fubar now.


if you are dealing with offline save then I would think only the last save might be fubar so if its more then just that then i think its going to end up being the game that's fubar requiring you do an uninstall and reinstall.


there is another option you may not have thought about, it may be a windows corruption if it was doing an auto update or something at the time it crashed. if that's the case your screwed and windows must be reinstalled, doing a repair erases all your files anyway so if needed don't do the repair just do a new install of windows. make backup copies of your saved games in case it ends up being a windows issue.

run some cleanup utilities in case its spyware or a virus doing it.
