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.

This is A BIG JOKE... i tried to load the game (quick save) and it won't load. I don't know, file was fine a while ago. I can't load quicksave at all... My progress gone... Any way to recover corrupted save?

Had a similar problem for one time, too. While saving R&R closed itself. After restarting R&R the savegame was not loadable anymore.
I think you have to restart the career. But better wait for comments of some other and more experienced users, maybe it's not completely lost...

But I have to say: That's why I generally have more than one save game and especially not just a quick save. You also should do that in future!

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?

the game would always work fine with no graphic errors what so ever would even save and load fine but then after a few weeks or days my saves would just stop working and crash back to desktop when ever I loaded them but if I started a new game and saved that save would work fine

Well, like I said, Vista did present some save issues when I had it. There were a few others that reported the same problem too. So to make a long story short I just went and got Windows7, and haven’t had a problem since. Seems being that you say it works fine unless dormant for a couple of weeks leads me to conclude that it’s not so much a game problem as it is a Vista problem.

I may be wrong, and would welcome anyone else’s imput. Upgrading to Windows7 is a financial matter that only you can decide, or maybe upgrading your graphics card, and adding 2 more GB of ram, especially with todays games. The more ram you have the better things will run. This game is not fully optimized, and demands for the most part a high-end computer inspite of what the recommended specs state.
