I thought they had a major bug no-one had pointed out in the game but I luckily realised what it was...

What has been happening is I've started a master league, played a game or two, exited pes3, re-run it and then get the message on attempting to load the savegame 'file corrupted' or the like.
What was weird was I could go back to mode-select having saved and then without exiting pes reload the master league savegame and have no errors.

I then realised that perhaps Gerard's option file patch was causing the problems...

Having replaced his option file with my original one I can now load up my savegames with no problems.

I guess what's happening is when you create a new master league it gets the rosters from the .exe but when i initially load the game it uses gerard's option file rosters and thus thinks the savegame with original rosters is corrupt - however I really don't see why it should happen like this since surely i could have manually edited my original option file and wouldn't expect this problem to happen!

Anyhow can anyone else confirm this is indeed the case for them too? Or at least some of those more experienced with pes' inner workings could provide some thoughts on the matter?

I'm using latest konami patch with english version of the game.
