Can't play for more than 10 mins without it either locking up or bluescreening and rebooting my machine.
Same crap even after the patch... what a joke, I can't imagine how many people that bought this are now pulling their hair out because its so buggy.
Good job on the QAing THQ... good job.

Really, WTF.
People ought to wait some more time for a couple more patches before buying/start playing this game.
If you continue to play your current saved games then you're likely going to never be able to patch, ever.
But if you patch not only do you have to start over but we don't even have the vaguest notion that this will be the last time you might have to patch.
Has anyone just tried patching and then loading their game anyway? I know it probably won't work but if it just happened to work you'd keep some progress...

Assuming this forms part of the filename, the only thing that is needed is to
1. Accept character string S as input.
2. Repeat (1) until filesystem accepts S, or user aborts.
At no point is the existance of one or more ' ' an issue.
Personally, I think there's something to be said for separating "save title" and "save filename".

So, do I patch my game and lose 3-4 hours of play, or do I leave it?
Is there any response from the devs as to whether future patches will break saved games, or whether a save conversion tool can be released? I assume not.
Also, can you feel the quality? 65 fixes, and then:
66. Various balance issues in Singleplayer and Multiplayer.
67. Various known exploits/cheats.
68. Various other issues.
"58. Saved game are over written when attempting a second save uses the first saved game's name followed by a "space" and any other word or number during single player campaign."
You'd have to put in extra code _just_ to fuck up like that!
