Everything works normally getting to the "Loading Save Game" carousel. Then it will go no further. I found the "DxDiag.exe" but it is invisible when I try and attach it to this message.

Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue
I made sure that Norton Auto Protect and Smart Wall were disabled. This event has happened in the past, and Verifying my files always fixed the issue.

Attach DxDiag (PC), System Info log (Mac), or run sudo lshw -html > specs.html and uploaded specs.html (Linux)

Your problem is almost certainly here:

Counted 844 save slots
Counted 440 save slots

Delete all saves you don't really need, try to get below say 100.

Good luck!

Thank you. I am in the process of culling a lot of my old saves. I figured having that many could not be a good thing.
