New saves are ok? The game has changed the way it saves games over time. I can only guess that old saves may not conform to the current way games are saved. Maybe a 'save as' may correct the problem. Save backup will be created the second time the save is used. When you create a game and save the save folder should be created w/o a backup image. The next time you re save that game the old folder is renamed with a .backup and a new folder is created when you save. If the game is not saving properly free space on the hard drive may be an issue or a user rights issue or maybe the antivirus may be interferring. A guess as the game is patched the game may not recognize old save formats.

Sorry, but it's quite a different problem. New saves aren't appearing, they're creating a save folder, no backup and no .bad files. Saving using an old save name works, but as I would like the option to start fresh that's not really a work around.
