Corrupted save problems?

This is on 360.
I was just on the verge of breaking 70% in this game, I'd saved at a safehouse with some hostile guys pursuing me and I died about 5 minutes after leaving the house. Upon trying to reload the save my console froze. I restarted and still, trying to load up my game in any way freezes the system. I had just been overwriting the same save file, so I have no way back to the point I had reached in the game.

Anyone else having this kind of issue? Does this happen on other 360 games?

Dude, I've heard about this one before. It fucks up people's games a lot. I haven't had it happen to me, but Ubisoft said they're working on a patch that hopefully will fix it, although nobody knows if it will free older saves. It really sucks :-/

Yeah, it sucks pretty bad. I'd recommend anyone playing this to at least alternate between two save files. I was renting, so I just took the game back, but I was really hoping to get to act 3 this weekend.

Good advice. For all games.

I cycle between 3 or 4 saves and have done ever since Oblivion.
