Downloaded the file, loaded the file, signed a deal proposed by the Arceans, and moved a couple ships. No problems.

thanks for checking. Not sure why my system doesn't like that one file, but is OK with other (and much larger) save files.

As to why it works for someone else, it could be a difference in configuration. Try updating your video card drivers and and verify integrity of the game through Steam. Since the save game is loadable on another PC it shouldn't be corrupted.

After some more testing, what I'm seeing is:

- load this saved game -> GC3 crashes

- in Steam, verify local file integrity -> 5 files have to be replaced

- after downloading them, re-verify local file integrity -> they are all good

- load this saved game -> GC3 crashes

- verify local file integrity -> 5 files have to be replaced

(and this is repeatable; can reaquire files to fix the problem, reload, crash, and need to reaquire again...)

Apparently the process of loading this saved game affects these 5 files every time....

I get that every time I verify (5 files). (always check before doing a multiplayer game)

Almost never have a problem with the game, but it is always 5 files corrupted.

P.S. The wife always checks before multi games as well and gets the same thing, 5 files.
