Hi everybody, I've literally tried everything, even installing a different save file and the game still infinitely loads after the first cinematic on the mission Ambush. I don't know what to do anymore, does anyone have any tips? Did anyone have similar issues?

Wipe is a security tool for Windows that completely destroys files and folders so they can't be recovered.
What it does: Instead of just moving files to the Recycle Bin like normal deletion, Wipe overwrites the actual file data with random junk before deleting it.
How to use it: Drag any file or folder onto the app, click "Wipe", and confirm. The app also comes with a command-line version if you prefer typing commands.
Honesty about limits: The app is upfront about situations where complete destruction isn't guaranteed. If you're using an SSD, a NTFS compressed file or a NTFS resident file, Wipe warns you before proceeding. It won't pretend it can work miracles on modern hardware. But on HDDs for example it can guarantee an unrecoverable file.
Extra cleanup options: For maximum security, there's a "paranoid mode" that can also:
With all the paranoid options the recovery on SSDs is still really hard, and it would take experts with physical access to the drive to a long time to get the wiped file back.
Do you have any suggestions? I'd love to hear it!
I started building a small app that actually wipes files by encrypting the file, throwing away the encryption key, and then deleting the file. Windows has a bunch of edge cases though, like:
- NTFS-resident files that live inside the Master File Table
- NTFS-compressed files
- Metadata can still leak information even after deleting
I'm building solutions for all of these problems, but no solution is perfect for these cases. I'm experimenting with things like wiping free space so previously deleted files can’t be recovered and expanding resident files so they're no longer in the MFT.
One big limitation I’ve run into is SSDs, because of how they manage data internally overwriting isn’t always reliable. Still figuring out how far I can realistically push that.
On HDDs though the deletion works perfectly and all files are actually unrecoverable.
Tell me, would you use something like this or do you not really care about secure deletion?
If you have any feedback please tell me, I'm always looking to improving Wipe or adding new features
