I live in the US and I am having save issues. I have a sandbox save where my population is above 500 (its like 506) and the year is 1989. The game will not load the save, it freezes every time. I reloaded a old save from 1987 where I had 512 population and no freeze. I played through that old save to 1990,then save and couldnt load that save either. I then tried to save the game to my harddrive to see if that fixed the problem.....it did not.
