If you haven't already, I strongly suggest backing up your savegame before trying to run the latest patch. On my system, it starts fine the first time, then wipes out the save and is unable to even save fresh progress after that point. I can restore my save and it will load it, but only that first time.

It seems a bit like they changed their savegame system and royally messed it up. Where savegames used to be, I now get a new Account_<bunch of numbers> folder ever time I run the game.

Update: If you have savegame backups, or have updated but not yet run the game after the patch, the Galaxy client has the option to select which game version you want to run (in manage installation - configure). I downgraded to 1.0c and restored my pre-update savegame and am playing fine on the old version.

Boy, am I glad I've stuck to the manual installers and not the Galaxy client. Whoever had their progress lost for good, that's terrible news.

plus i dont have the option to revert6 back to 1c
The option does not appear until you turn off auto updates, I believe. While not confirmed, based on what the game is doing in the savegame folder, there is hope that the savegame conversion went OK and will load again once they fix the issue. It's just not even trying to load it at this point, instead creating endless new folders with blank savegames.

yah this suck i dont want to do all those mission again i think i was almost at the end of the story i got into grandpa locked underground room in the lodge then a the elk mission after words then lost my save
Same thing happened to me, it deleted my save file, I totally uninstalled the game (including save files) and re-installed, so I started over, played for probably 2 hours, logged out and went back in today and it deleted my save again....not cool.
Checking the offilne download backup installers , I see that them are still the release version 1.0c and not yet the updated version, only supplied thru GOG Galaxy. Given the fact that we need to reinstall the game in current version for having the special edition addons that have dissapeared from the inventory ¿can we expect an undate on those downloadable files soon?
hi..

I´m having real trouble running the game, because each time that I start it all my progress from the previous session is erased and i`m sent to the very beginning , to the introductory history when you have everythink blocked and you need to collect the keys of the house. The program behaves as if my profile is erased and reinitiated each time that I start the game..

I see here that many are able to run the game beyond this point...¿someone knows any workaround that would restore the savegame? A backup doesn´t seem to work because the program erases whatever is in my progress as soon as I start the game. And this happens both with the syccro to gog Galaxy or without it....
