Issues fixed

Game not saving/save data inaccessible

The game will try to place save files in the Documents and Settings and Application Data folders, which no longer exist as of Windows Vista.
Fix saving system[citation needed]
  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%
  2. Create the necessary folders (Application Data\SEGA\THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD3\)

Notes

Changing the save data location through the registry does not appear to work, as it is reset when the game is launched.
