Does anyone else have the problem of after installing the patch save games (including ones created afterwards) cannot actually be loaded. The main menu options don't highlight and after starting a new game the load function there caused a CTD.
Any suggestions/solutions?

Mine are fine.
Are you running the UK game version with that patch?

Hmm... there IS a hard, yet effective solution. There'll be a new folder in the game's folder named 'backup1' after you install the patch. If you manage to replace the old files with the new ones, you'll get it done.
Otherwise... just copy your savegames to a new folder and re-install the game.

But as one of the problems is I can't even load up saves created after installing the patch, that isn't much use.

Condition: You didn't have any problems with saving/loading before you installed the patch.
Solution: Re-install the game, or do what I said in my previous post.
Condition: You already had problems.
Solution: Sorry. Can't help ya...

I must say that this was a good game cut short. The same thing has happened to me, I already had a game going.. found out about the patch, applied the patch.. and now I can't load up my saved game. I am not even sure it is there! I did see the BackUp1 folder but I do not know what to do with it, if it has my save in there and I knew what it looked like I could get it out then uninstall/reinstall and put it back in....
This is VERY frustrating, I don't want to spend all that time again playing the game. I am too disappointed.

It's especially annoying because it affects some people and not others. Surely if we all have the same game version (UK) and apply the same patch (UK), we will all get the same result?
I remember testing this specifically on the patch release day and all my saves were fine (I loaded all 10 or so to be sure). I hope they come up with a solution as I certainly wouldn't want to start again!
Where were you up to?

If you were done with all of the levels until Phantom of the OR, you could start again; howeveri þf you had already passed Phantom of the OR, may the force be with you  |
