Corrupt saves - restore?

Hi

I discovered this mod a few weeks ago. I have played a lot since then. Great job!

Unfortunately, a power shortage in my neighbourhood while playing has corrupted the save of the character I was playing (barbarian).
As I played a lot with it, I was hoping to restore the save instead of restarting all.

I there a way to restore a corrupt save due to unexpected computer shutdown?

Regards

Nope my friend.
I have similar problem. Deleted saves

Luckily had played for about 50 hours, not 500 or 5000.

Back up your character directory frequently, I do about once per month.

Once a month? Id do this once a week. Or at least once a day.

Tchernobog mod in next alpha release will backup save files automatically before saving. There isnt much more you can do with simple filesystem.

Ok, thanks for the clear answer.

Any tools that would automatically save folder every X often (30min for example)?

As it's a small game with small saves, I don't expect any game slow down because of a regular backup

Seems like I just answered my question myself:

I'll try that and let you know if it works properly.
Options are available to backup specific folder, overwrite backup, and do that every 5second up to 24h.

Edit: last question: I suppose I only need to back up "player_save" folder?

Seems to be a functioning program It does backup at each time point.
Program is free, there is just a window that pops one time and propose to buy the full version.

From what i know this can be done with a batch file, and anyway on the couple of occasions the game crashed (both have been reported here on forum) it saved everything i had on me and stash, so i feel this is innately done by the game already, just that the OS or drive or whatever might screw things up regardless.

PS: It may be a good idea not to triple post, you can just edit the previous one.
