I enjoyed playing this game a whole heck of a lot last year using AncestralGhosts simplified installer. Eighteen months and a reformat later, I thought I'd visit it again. I'm using the same installer that configures dosbox and everything once more, using a full installation, but I'm running into some troubles...

It's rather frustrating. This has happened twice now. The first time, I made it through PH and started doing a few quests. Completed some, and had about three different save files. A short time later, the game crashed, which oddly enough, never once happened the last time I played this, but whatever. I reload the game, load up a save, and play for quite awhile. I made two new additional saves in that time, and renamed some of the old ones. After a several-hours-long session, I saved and quit once more. When I went back to play once more...the saves it showed upon entering the load save screen were the original three from right before my crash, with no sign of the two new saves I'd made during my second session.

This has happened twice now. Just as odd, when I run fixsave.exe in the daggerfall folder (not that I have much clue what that does, never needed it before ) it displays the names of all the NEWER save files, the ones I'm trying to access. But when I go into the save0-save5 folders themselves, their contents reflect just the three saves before the crash. Further, checking the save title file in each of the folders shows it's still the pre-crash save titles. Fixsave sees my newest saves, but the game itself can't...

Any ideas? I literally can't rely on saving my progress at this point, which is usually the saving grace in the face of game bugs.
