I just got this game yesterday from Steam. Finally have a chance to play it today. I'm in the beginning area where you are trying to break out of jail I'm guessing. The game was crashing before that when I was going to see the empress. If I quick saved, and quick loaded, it crashed.

Now I'm at a point where I just got the bomb, and am going to head through the yard. Made the MAJOR MISTAKE of quick saving my game before heading into the control room area, and quick loaded after I got spotted trying to knock out a guy, and the game crashed. Now every time I start up the game, and load that quick save, the game crashes to desktop.

I have an i5-2500k, 8 gigs of RAM, ATI Radeon 6870 that had previously been updated to the latest drivers but I'll check again, even though I'd updated a matter of a couple weeks ago.
I have Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit edition.

I'm definitely not happy given that this game has been out for over a month, yet it seems many people have had serious issues with this game, and they still haven't been corrected. I'm sincerely hoping I won't be one of those people whose issues never get resolved.

I'd also like to add that at times like these, where I've had to load up this game multiple times only to find failure, that all those unskippable loading screens are a MAJOR DRAG!!! Whose idea was to add SO MANY LOADING SCREENS THAT ARE UNSKIPPABLE????? At least give me the option to hit escape to skip through them. I understand you want to advertise all the stuff you used in the making of this game. Great, I got it...don't really need to see it this many times in just one day, much less for the entire time I will be playing this game.
