Ok, here is the fix if you lost your save game:

- Go to: Program Files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\WarGame\Checkpoints (HINT- that "Checkpoint" directory should be full with around 35 checkpoints)
- Find the part where you were before the game screwed you over (hint, open up the .sav files in notepad, you'll see sp_*map name*, that should give you an idea of what checkpoint it is)
- Copy that file somewhere else
- Change the name of the chapter file you believe is where you last left off to "chapter0.sav"
- Put "chapter0.sav" in My Documents\Gears of War\WarGame\Checkpoints (I don't have the game anymore so I'm not sure HINT- that "Checkpoint" directory should be empty) so the file doesn't go where you installed the game but in "My documents"
- Start the game, select "load chapter" and the first chapter in section 1, the game will load the place where the chapter you renamed is at instead of inside the prison.


And here is the backup fix if you didn't lose your savegame but are afraid you will, you need to be able to see hidden files and folders:

User"\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\XLive\Content\"

In the Content folder keep clicking the folders with random numbers and letters, in the last folder there will be a file called 4D530842.gpd, that is your saved game.

Nice one mate thanks for that Smile
I've looked on loads of forums with people who get the same error and no one has yet to come up with an answer.
Cheers again Smile
