Hey folks! I bought Saints Row: The Third yesterday, and after I started it I played for eight hours straight - I really enjoy the game ;-)

This morning when I intended to continue playing, the game wouldn't load my save game anymore. After I hit continue or load the save manually, the game just closes/crashes. I found a forum post on the Saints Row website which basically describes my problem further, however, without resolving it: http://saintsrow.com/community/go/thread/view/136781/28719105/?pg=last

As I wrote it seems that it's an issue with the save game.

I was wondering if any of you guys have the same problem and possibly even solved it. I am grateful for any input as I am slowly getting annoyed by the prospect of losing my save and even worse: not being able to finish the game unless I keep it running until I am done. Anywho, thanks for your help in advance.
