    I completed 2 Russian levels and a couple of British levels, then crashed to reboot a couple of times. Now when I start the game it wants me to start from the first level, it says all other levels are locked. My saves "appear" to still be under my profile folder, but they're not being recognized even if I reselect my profile. I moved the saves to the primary save folder but it's still the same. I hate to have to play 5 levels again. Can anyone assist? Thanks.

    I found console cheats to unlock the missions, but they're still unplayed. I can pick up at the start of the mission I left off at, but it's a BunchaStuff to have lost the actual saves.

    Check your recycle bin and see if there in there. If they are, restore them.

    Nothing in the recycle bin. They exist in the autosave folder, they're just not getting referenced.


    Think I figured it out. The config.cfg file in the player profile folder is getting initialized to default. The levels played have to be reset from 0 to 9, like this:
    seta mis_01 "9"
    seta mis_02 "9"
    seta mis_03 "9"
    seta mis_04 "0"
    seta mis_05 "0"
    seta mis_06 "0"
    seta mis_07 "0"
    seta mis_08 "0"
    seta mis_09 "0"
    seta mis_10 "0"

    ...and the last game saved has to be reset from this:
    seta sv_lastSaveGame ""

    ...to something like this:
    seta sv_lastSaveGame "players/SgtMsyvc/save\autosave/elalamein-levelend.svg"

    I'm saving a copy for future ref. Good thing we're computerized.
