I have a problem while trying to play the game and I want to know whether the new patch has fixed the game but I cannot find out because whenever I try to load the game a message comes up saying the save game cannot be loaded. Anyone know what to do. Tried reinstalling once.

this has to be a patch issue because it hadnt happened before 8.0.2 but I have to have it at 8.0.2 to have any hope of it working once I have loaded the game.

mikemanutd - you should post in the PC support forums to see if anyone can help you (the guys in there will be back on Monday).

You should post with a lot more information though, such as if you had any problems with the saved game previously, as you seem to be implying that it wasn't working anyway.

well firstly I have posted in thsi forum before and never got a reply and I have several hot topics which are all about my R6025: pure virtual function call problem which no one is 100% sure about.
