    Hello,

    My game crashed at lvl 10...
    Fortunately, just before this tragedy, I copied the two dredmor folders (one in steam folder and another one in Documents--> Gaslamp games) in order to restore them lately. But, when I try this, it doesn't work... any idea ?:(

    Sorry, english is not my primary language.

    What were you doing in the game when it crashed?

    Then it means something was wrong with the reward you were given, most likely.

    Were you using any mods? And if yes, which ones?

    Yes I think the reward crash the game :dmg_conflagratory:
    And no, I don't use any mod...
    Any idea to restore my savegame from the two dredmor folders I have copied ?

    There is not actually a backup savegame. People would abuse it.

    To minimize this issue, I suggest manually backing up your save files every floor or as frequent as you want. You can always copy back the saves if there is a problem and it is certainly not cheating to be cautious.

    I wish I could help more. But that is all there is to say.

    I don't understand why it's not working, the documents one should be the right thing.

    Steam cloud is interefering?
     
  9. I'm having a similar issue at the moment. I have copied my Gaslamp Games folder from an old pc to a new fresh install of dredmor. The achievements and trophies all transferred correctly, but the autosave and named save folders are deleted by the game by the time I click the load character button.

    Is it possible the Steam Cloud is interfering? Is there a way to disable it temporarily/get it to recognize the save? I'd really like to continue playing this character.

    Was on Vista, now on Windows 7. GRPD if PD somehow matters. Thanks!

    Will using -nukesteamcloud work? What are the consequences to using it?

    Try using -nukesteamcloud before transferring the folder, then transfer the folder.
