I backed up a save because it was insistently named "Automatic Save" and I wanted to try a new character (thus, was afraid it would be automatically overwritten). But I can't seem to restore this save into the game. Help?
Unless that character died, or your game crashed, you should have another save. Because the one created by using the "Save and quit" command is named differently. That being said, there's more than one file you need to modify/restore to get that save to work. And I recommend asking guys from the multiplayer threads, since they had dealt with it already.
First thing, backup the autosave you wish to use for this. Second, make a new character with the same exact name and save and quit as soon as you spawn.(Case sensitive I think. And the skills do not matter one bit.) Third, copy the filename of the new save and delete that new save. Now rename the autosave to that name and check if it worked. You should be able to load it directly as if it was the newly made save. If this fails or you need more specific help, reply back. I will gladly help out as I can.
