WOW! This is absolutely amazing! I don't think I was ever meant to play ACII with all the trouble I am having with it. My save file just disappeared. I had all the feathers from everywhere but Venice, my town was at 50%, and I had all but two tombs explored. Looked it up online and again I am not the only person this has happened to, and in fact seems like it happens pretty often.

Guess the game didn't like that I found away around the sound problem and was determined not to let me play anymore.
