I have found the save files that you mentioned in the directory that I had described in my original post; I'm fairly sure these are the same ones. I actually only recently went to check to ensure they were there, so I've not modified them in any way, shape, or form. I confess that I'm not sure how to check the version of the game, but my steam history reports that I have automatically downloaded the 02 Patch. The BuildID is 201175. I will happily send you the save games at your leisure.

I'm surprised by the lack of any topics about this bug, which leads me to believe that I must be doing something wrong. I hope that is the case, because I love the game enough to want an easy and fast fix. Here's the short of it: I got the "file not found" bug which prevents me from manual saving. Apparently that is easily dismissed, because The Stick of Truth is also supposed to make constant auto-saves. Now, I can find the auto-saves on my computer in the Documents/MyGames/South Park/save chain of files, but the game will not recognize that I have them. When I restart or reinstall the game, I am never presented with the option to load at the main menu. I have attempted to start new characters; their data is never found by the game. I have tried to mess with the administrator privileges for the game and its .exe. Nothing has changed. What can be done? Thank you ahead of time.
