Save Games Disappeared???

[SilenceArts]

Hi guys and girls.
I just launched Torchlight to find that my home page only had the option of "New Game", no Continue or Load, and if I mouse over the right side of the New Game button a tooltip appears as if I was mousing over Continue, but with character details for a Level 9 "*Francis"??? I have never seen this character before... What happened to my save games??
If anyone knows what's going on please let me know.
Many thanks in advance, /R

You probably had a mod installed that attached itself to the save file or something

Pretty sure this is the answer you need:

Your saved game files for each character are (or should be) in:
MyPC/Documents/my games/Runic Games/Torchlight 2/*save*/somereallylongrnadomnumber/

If you launch the game *without mods*, the game looks there.

If you launch the game *with mods* the game looks in:
MyPC/Documents/my games/Runic Games/Torchlight 2/*modsave*/somereallylongrnadomnumber/

So... If you've been playing without mods - like I was - and want to try out some mods, copy everything - or just the character(s) you want to mod and the sharedstash_v2.bin, settings.txt, keybindings.dat - from the ...save... folder into the ...modsave... folder.

Start the game and select the lower arrow - "play with mods" and all your characters should be there.

This is how Runic separates modded players from playing with "vanilla" players. Runic approves and even encourages players to mod the game as they want. You're not hacking or cheating, you're just playing a slightly different version.

Hope that helps.

I have two separate save games, one with and one without mods. The modded one works perfectly ;-;
