Just a fair warning. Anyone who is having the inability to load saves problem probably doesn't want to apply the Skid Row patch because it will flag your game as pirated. This will cause you to get the < Suit Failure > message in game with a variety of effects that will make the game close to unplayable. In the end your legitimate game will be flagged as pirated.

I just wanna end off by saying its a great game and by no means am I supporting pirating, but its really the only way for people who have been encountering this problem to actually play the game.

If anyone knows an otherwise fix (I've done everything level 1 and 2 support has suggested) that could fix this problem or switch my game back to being flagged as legitimate, I'm all ears but I doubt a solution exists.
