DEUS EX HR HUMAN REVOLUTION CORRUPTED SAVE FILE MISSING SAVE FILE
Thank you, fingler. You saved another person from committing suicide and/or replaying through nearly the entire game.
I did have to do something a little different though and would like to clear it up in case your instructions didn't work for everyone.
1. Backup everything in your save folder to another folder. (To find you save folder, search for the file name "saveindex", that's how I found it)
2. Delete everything in your save folder.
3. Run the game.
4. Start a new game, save, then quit.
Now here's the different part. From what I figured (as I was writing this post, actually) "gamer1" "gamer2" etc are all manual saves. "gamea1" "gamea2" are autosaves, hence the "a" at the end. This means of course that "gameq" is a quicksave.
The problem with this is that if you start a new game, save, then quit, the saveindex will only be able to load the file called "gamer1" since it's the first manual save and the only save file in it's memory, since you have no quick saves or autosaves (unless you get far enough into your new game for an autosave or if you quick save).
5. This basically means that you want to copy ONLY your latest game save (look at the date modified etc in the details/properties) from your backup folder, into the real save folder, and RENAME it to "gamer1", unless it's already called "gamer1" in which case it should overwrite regardless and fingler's guide should have worked, then launch the game.
When you go to load selection screen, it will tell you that you're in the beginning of the game but load it anyway/press continue and you should be at the place you left off.
If you want to add in more of your old save files for whatever reason, go in-game, create a new manual save, exit the game, delete "gamer2" from your save folder, copy the save you want added to the folder, and rename it to "gamer2" and you keep doing that for every new save you want except replace the 1 or 2 with whatever number save it is.
Cheers,
Djavan.
