I am sorry if this topic has been listed but I looked for 15 minutes and didn't see it. I have been playing FO3 for about 2 weeks and got one character to lvl 10 and another to 6. I was playing on XP (yep) and it was slow on low settings but worked just fine. I wanted to experience the game on high setting and I just bought a new system yesterday, Windows 8. I deleted most of my old saved games but kept about 8 key ones to transfer. I brought the save file to the new system and placed them in the new save file and I can see them in there. Game runs great, no crashes, no issues: I know this because I could not find my saved games so I made a new character and played up to the GOAT test and saved. My save and an auto save show in the save file, along with my other saves. However, only the 2 new Windows 8 saves are visible when I start up and select LOAD. I don't know much about the LIVE thing and in fact I installed this game without internet so I don't know how that could have corrupted it, but I have been reading and that has been a suggestion: if playing in LIVE it will only see games saved that way and I know I did not have that on my XP. I have the next 4 days off and would love to pick up where I left off, not spend it redoing my 10 levels so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
