Can't load saved games in Metal Gear Ac!d

[InteriorCrocodile]

As the title says, every time I try to select Load Game or Continue from the menu it just kicks me back to the main menu again. When selecting Load Game the dialog with all the saved games appears, but after picking one I'm back at the main menu, same goes for Continue. This happens for both encrypted and non-encrypted savedata. I've tried both the EU and US versions of the game, fiddled with the settings, nothing helped. I haven't seen threads mentioning any similar problems so I'm going to need specific help to figure this out.
