"For all you people having troubles loading saved games!
I had the same problem (save name not appearing, only showing a Leon00 waiting room file) but after having looked around the internet quite a bit, I finally got it to work. This is what you must do:
-1- Download and install:
Download, mount and then install BOTH cds to "C:\Resident Evil 2". Full install!
- IMPORTANT - you must! name the folder Resident Evil 2 and it must be placed directly under C:\ I have tried a lot of different fodler names and this is the only one working for me!
-2- Set compatibility mode for Windows 95:
Right click then choose "explore"
on cd 1, locate the file RESEDENTEVIL2 (the eye icon) and right click on it. Choose "preferences" and then click the compatibility tab.
Then click "Run in compatibility mode for" and selected "Windows 95" Click "execute/ok"
You must do this compatibility modification on a total of 4! different files:
- RESIDENTEVIL2 x 2 (located in for example E:\ and F:\) One cd for Claire and one for Leon!
- On each cd there is then one more file (located in the folder "REGIST") which you must also change compatibility for.
These file names are: CLAIREP and LEONP.
-3- Changing save game folder:
Enter the game launch screen and change the SAVE GAME FOLDER to C:\Resident Evil 2.
You will get a couple of error messages, but just click past them and you will be fine eventually.
-4- Create a shortcut on your desktop:
Right click and drag the file CLAIREP(in my case as I wanted to play as Claire first) located in REGIST folder on cd1 to your desktop and then choose: "create shortcut here". make sure that the shortcut has the correct compatibility settings! (it should have by default)
-5- Launch game and have fun!
Notes: I tried lots of different set-ups recommended by people on different forums on the net and finally got it to work by following these above instructions.
I hope it will help you too!
Good luck!
