"Wiped your save game"? Was it saving at the time it crashed? If so that's why your save is knacked. I had it fail whilst saving but fortunately I have 3 save games that I rotate which one I save to so at worst I only lose the last session I played. It was a long session I'd had though and one when I qualified for Europe so it took me ages to recover it satisfactorily. I seem to have had a few occasions lately when it's crapped out on me, more down to my ancient PC though, plus my habit of switching to internet (and this site) whilst it's doing the updates - sometimes causes a problem.
