Haha... Wow I just made a portal and was going back to sell some things after killing the Telkine in Egypt and while in the loading screen to go back to the town I chose my comp restarted for some odd reason and when I logged back onto TQ my hero was gone completely.... Has this EVER happened to anyone else?

When you say completely gone, what do you mean? As in you go into your character selection screen and the name and level is there, but not the picture? Or that there's not a trace of your character anymore, period, let alone the ability to select him.

If it's the former and it's only a glitch, you can download TQ Defiler and fix this with relative ease. It might set you back a couple of quests, but nothing incredibly serious.

Gone without a trace... Not there at all... I'm pretty pissed to haha because I had some nice items on him already and was just doing really well... meh... and this is the problem the Defiler can fix or the defiler fixes the glitch where he just isnt showing up... Level/picture. And if Defiler does fix MY problem where exactly would I get it at?

Well, the first thing I'd do is not give up on your character. The second thing I'd do is search for solutions online.

As I understand it, it would be fairly difficult to totally mess up your character, as there are tons of files (in the My Documents/My Games/Titan Quest/SaveData/Main/*Character Name*).

Although I don't know precisely how to fix it, what might have happened (and I'm totally guessing here) is the file that tells the game where your character is, or something, got messed up and now the game is being funky. I'd check on the files in that location, and read up on what they do and stuff.

I wish I could be more helpful.

Best of luck,

~Kienan.

EDIT: Ah, here is someone with a SIMILAR probably, but it probably won't help you, other than to give you an idea of what I'm talking about: http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/titan ... 78740.html

Good luck

Well, I just did a quick google search and learned a bit more.

I'd back up the character folder to somewhere else in case you mess it up worse, then delete the most recent .que file.

If that doesn't work I'd check out [url="http://vnboards.ign.com/titan_quest_tech_support/b23097/97617577/p1"]this page[/url]. It looked the most promising, although I don't think it supports 1.30. You could always post a question in that thread, though, as it looks like that dude (_spx_) is pretty knowledgeable and helpful. Also there are plenty of other people and links that might help within that thread.

Again, good luck.
