Honor mode need a safeguard
Honor mode need a backup emergency savefile, it is just no fair to loose a run because of a pc crash.

I just took a long rest at my camp and my PC screen turned black, game crashed and pc restarted. Now my savefile is corrupted and there is no backup because its honor mode. I lost around 40-50 hours of perfect honor mode run.

I tried all the tricks and fixes on the forums but nothing seems to work, my savefile is completely broken.

That is one of the reasons why I recommend making a backup as described here

But I am too interested to learn what the error message you get from trying to loading the file.

it reminds me of another issue which seems related but gets effectively ignored.

No message, the save file is not detected by the game.

Perhaps ... stop cheating.

Try the stuff from this thread, two people had their saves not show up and managed to resolve it.

I did read somewhere that a total party kill will mark the run as dishonored somewhere other than the save file.

Might be a registry key the game creates to keep track of failed runs. Never wiped and didn't have the motivation to intentionally wipe a run to look into it so I have no clue.

A lot of the people playing Honor Mode are using some rather dishonorable methods to cheese through.

trying to kill the game in any variety of ways to beat the file update.

They break their own saves then come to the forums and complain ......

PC crash just sets you back to the last save the game did.

Yeah .. I know ...

So after 2 of your characters die ... you crash the game ...
So after you fail a dialogue choice ... you crash the game
So after being caught stealing ... you crash the game ...

then come on the forums and complain about losing honor mode runs.

The point is having a challenge for good players.
The result is .. the worst most cheese group of suckasses crying on the forum

Lmao is using 3/4 party members truly cheating? I of course would never stoop so low as to run 3 stronk priests with competing patrons and a bard/rogue that won't stop forcing them to be a party to my thefts XD

We getting those dice /mostly legit/ - I've wiped 3 times so far, I've paid my dues XD

I was doing a long rest in my camp and when it autosaved, my PC crashed, thats it.

When I opened the game, the campaign was GONE. I still have .lsv file but the game wont read it anymore, the file is corrupted.

You dont know, stop accusing people of cheating, some aren't.

I don't cheat and I don't use mods, I just play as intended.

if I die, I die and ill accept that. I died on my first try and that's fine. You should be able to continue the campaign in normal mode if you die, but mine is completely gone, NADA, no campaign. Id be happy to just get my saving file back in working order even without the honor mode.
