Same happened to me, I was able to save and load my game a bunch of times and then one day it was gone and I had to start again. Which didn't bother me too much since I was really enjoying the game, I don't know how far I was through the game though. I've not heard anything on why this happened or whether they are working on a patch or anything really.

Have fun

I cant even get ON Live. I have an account, but I cannot logged in. I even plugged my NIC into the cablemodem and removed all firewalls (dangerous, I know) and I still couldnt log in. Now my saved games are gone. And yes, I have the GearsTU.exe patch installed

I pursued this bug on the Epic forums for weeks (months, actually). I eventually got a private message from one of the moderators saying they hadn't been able to reproduce the bug in-house, it probably only happens to a few people, and they aren't even trying to fix it.

It's the single worst experience I've ever had with a game: deletion of user data and no attempt by the developers to track it down and fix it. Disgusting.

the game does stink, don't buy it because you'll just be buying a game that's full of bugs, there's even a 16 page thread of everyone informing you about what problems they're have with GOW on the epic forums, when i played it after the first mission it kept crashing...& windows live? haha those two words are hilarious, stay well away.

Here is the solution to resume from where you last played. This bug has been there right from the start when Gears of War launched. Its affected a lot of people but they've done nothing to address the problem.

Hi

I found out a way to copy saved games but you need to have the same account and the same computer

The main use is to have backups of the last checkpoint you get on the game

It works sometime, so its not garentied

and also you need vista

So it goes:

1) Copy this in the address bar at the top of the window and copy this to "C:\Users\(User acount)\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\XLive"

Note (user acount) is the same as where your"my folder is"

For example My acount name is Saeed so i will copy it like this "C:\Users\Saeed\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\XLive"

2) Copy the folder "Content" and make a shorcut on the "Desktop"

3) Copy any files IN IT as an backup

So like when you finish playing the game (have a break) then close the application "gears of war" game and make the back up

so if you cant get to you last check point you can copy the backup of your previous/history saved game to the "Content" folder in step (2)

and continue from there.

Peace Man

Yeah just backup your saves whenever you exit the game like the previous post said. Also make sure your game and GFW live are patched to the latest version.

Last time this happened to me I did a system restore to last time I played that it worked. That worked for me. This game is good but brutal programming. I have spent more time troubleshooting last games and getting updates to work properly than playing. I can't believe they haven't fix this problem yet.
