@kaalale: possible that you can give me the link to that thread?
Been trying to find it. Apparently it got deleted because of the graphic title. But i found a post by the same guy who's not so pissed off now. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1299588-losing-save-files/page__p__19566862#entry19566862. He says to start a new profile. I'm kinda sick so ill keep helping you find an answer. There were quite a few people that chimed in saying it happened to them too. Just for those who think Kronos is a moron, he's not. Apparently it is possible for the game to completely destroy your manual save files. How many manual saves did you have?
