It's not true for all players, but it's worth knowing Dungeon Siege 2: Broken World can generate save issues if you Alt-Tab during gameplay. Saving after Alt-Tabbing will display "Game Saved" on screen as normal, but it'll only save radar files, and won't party files, so essentially you can Alt-Tab and go back to it, play normally, save a thousand times in one big session, and you won't be saving squat.
Happened to me after a tweny hour session when it first came out. Not pleasant.
@UnitedKingdomify Well there's no solution on anything which would work on everyone =)
-> But are you sure your bug is working like that? Since one of my friend's bug does kinda the same thing, but not with alt+tabbing. It does save .radar , but not .party .. So you must keep eye on the .tmp party to rename it back to .party .. So the issue is the same.. But yeah.. dunno =) But thanks for sharing your experience also! :)
@Visuder When I said it's not true for all players I meant the alt-tabbing thing, not your excellent advice. I remember bringing it up on the GPG forums and they said a patch might be pending... THAT never happened, lol, heh ha. I just remember hating the hell out of Broken World back then.
Sucks to be a gamer when you lose all your data, especially on long rpgs. The companions at the inn/character conversion glitch sucked big time too. >.<
Cheers! I'm gonna revisit Aranna soon me thinks. ;)

@UnitedKingdomify Oh yeah.. Misunderstood/read the first part.. And Too bad they never fixed it =) And yes, that does really suck when your data is erased after playing plenty of hours.. Especially @ RPG games (© I really do know)..

So always when you start playing again, rename the .tmp to the original one, and vice versa.
