After the first patch broke save games, I have refused to play it again until the next patch gets some reviews. I know there is still some patching needed, and I don't want to wait to play.
Rumor has it that GSC was going to release a save-game updater, but I haven't heard anyhting since.
SO... I have this game installed on my PC, and I wait... besides, I have a lot of other games to play now. I just know that I won't buy their games anymore unless they can fix them in a reasonable timeframe.
