After finishing Silent Storm I loaded Sentinels and went on my merry way. After a while playing quicksave had issues and did not want to save all the time, screen just flickered and then it did not want to load any games. A restart of the game was required after which it worked for a time and returned. This latter interval grew shorter and soon I had to restart the game too often for it to be any fun.

I noticed in the game directory the game created these dirs: temp and temp.bak and for some reason it could not access or delete these directories after a while and thus not being able to manage the savegame/loading.

I searched the net a long time until I found a guy at a russian forum with a similiar though not identical issue but for Silent Storm and used google translate and found this (google translated from here: http://www.zzima.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25868):

"The solution of the problem.
1) Save the game on global map
2) Exit the game
3) run into the directory [game] \ save \ [profile name] \ [name of the saved game]
4) Delete all files in it except game.sav
5) start the game, load a saved
6) Everything you can go to the base.
All that was left on base (PC etc.) - will be lost."

I tried that, but it did not work here.

Anyone here have this issue or remember it from way back when and know how to remedy it I would be very grateful because I really love this series.

The guy from your link has a different problem (crashes when entering the base) so no wonders it didn't help.

I'm not sure what might cause the game to not being able to access save files but try some of these general solutions:
1) Disable UAC
2) Log-in with administrator rights
3) Remove read-only flag from your Silent Storm folder (Right Click -> Properties).

I said it was similar, not same :-) Similar in the sense that there are two directories temp and temp.bak that the program can not access after a certain time/event/bug or otherwise.

I am starting a new game and see if it was a one off thing, will report back if it happens again though.

Any solution to this? I'm having about the same issue. I try to load a game, but all that happens is the screen flickers for a second. Even restarting game doesn't help.

Nope, I never found one so I just gave up on the game. Really odd that GOG haven't looked in to the matter since it's 2.5 years since it was reported here.

Hello! sorry, I have no solution. Just wanted to mention: I'm playing it end of 2015 and have the same issues.
