Okay, serious question ... anyone ever have this situation happen before:
Having long ago finished part .29, I hadn't touched the folder for at least a week. Today, I decided to load the game just to get a screenshot for a silly post (see above). The game opened, but when I first went to load a save, I got an error ... had to ignore to get to the load screen, then no matter what I tried to load, I just got error screens. It didn't even boot me after trying rollback or ignores, just kept going with the errors.
I ended up loading an older version to get the screen shot, then after trying again I re-applied the files into the newest folder (I don't throw away active zips) and restarted it with no problems.
Any ideas what might have happened?
(The only thing that might have interfered was I had a couple high-graphic programs running already when I loaded the game, but I closed one of them, did the thing with the older version and then tried again with the new version before doing the re-install and it was still borked. Also, I am going to run a disc diag, but it's a brand new drive and hasn't shown any sign of problems, so that seems unlikely.)
