I'm not sure if the game will let me 'hot swap' the save dir with my virgin (empty save dir) copy, I'll give it a try, then resave. I have this feeling I'm going to have to cleanse everything -saves and configs and start from scratch else COD4 may have to be temporarily uninstalled to gimme some drive space to fool around with.

I'm not absolutely sure about this (currently in-game and can't check) but, you should be able to go into your My Documents/SHIV folder and find exactly what (IS) being saved by your game.

I saw a replay file and another temp file (about 2 gigs total) in the main CFG folder which were recreated by the game at startup, also saw a huge (1.7 gig) file in the games save directory that kills that save when deleted (*.rpl?) so I undeleted it, and continued on with that save- found the time compression slowed the game down at anything over 512, so ran that speed all the way back to Pearl (3 hours real time), got my radar upgrade and transferred to Fremantle command. Upon departure from Fremantle was assigned patrol in Aleutian islands.


Decided to goto bed, and erase that save when I get home tonight. I'll resume old save somewhere in Luzon straights and hope to pick up Kongo's battlegroup enroute to Midway.
