No, your 10 hours haven't been wasted, you will be able to play this character again. Please read through the entire thread before posting (see below).
Doesn't matter. I started a second character. Saved the progress. Noticed on the Load game screen both characters were there. Spent a bit of time playing on the new character and when I returned to the load screen, the previous save was gone. Edit: What the heck? The save file for the character I made a few hours ago just insta-crashes the game. Now, I currently have 0 characters... I'll probably wait a few weeks to give the devs some time to fix the worst bugs/glitches before playing again. Edit #2: All saved files crash the game.
Same problem here: monster zoo missing the last monster, and then (upon returning to lvl 4 from lvl 5) repeatedly teleported into the middle evil chest of an express post room. Running win7 x64 steam with DLC. Looking forward to the hotfix!
same issue here: cleared lvl 5; saved before going to the next level to not fuck up uberchests; after reloading porting between Dwarven Express Post and various other seemingly random rooms... this bug is game breaking and annoying as hell. Just sayin'. edit: Playing with Rotg
I went to go up one level and I randomly teleport. I am only like lvl 4. I have the beserker max and second skill of dodging one. No debuffs.
