I played for 4 long hours, only to achieve nothing, cause the game corrupted the last save. I've only used quick save while playing as any normal unsuspecting human being would do. But this last time I pressed quick save too close to a warehouse and when I try to load the savegame I can't avoid entering the warehouse which wouldn't be a problem, but the game won't change the view to the usual warehouse camera, it stays normal, and when the delivery selector screen should come up the game crashes instead of showing it.

4 hours aint too long to get back to where you where but you should really save more often I save after every load

My free time is not that cheap that I like throwing it away just like that, even 1 hour would be too much.

And you misunderstood I saved at least 10 times, but I used quicksave each time I saved. I had no idea the game had the "ability" to corrupt save games irreversibly.

A quick save is still only 1 save file you think 4 hours is bad I once lost a months worth of gameplay on morrowind I was very gutted after that

Yeah, I must have a hundred saves, and a lot of them are just before I get to the entrance of a warehouse (before the cut-scene). I never use 'Quick-Save' though because, I like to name my own save points. This way it's easy to remember just where I want to go. Especially when you have tons of saves. As you, and I discussed before I learned this the hard way from Half-Life & Doom3. This has now become automatic for me. I've yet to have a save issue problem, and I'm constantly reloading to make videos, and things.

I believe your GeForce 7800 is a little too low, and may be the issue of reloading a saved game. You need 8800 or above. Also when I had Vista, it presented some problems with saved games, and the game ran sluggish too. Windows7 seemed to correct this problem.

When you did play, in general how did your graphics respond to the game?
