My game crashed and I loaded it back up all my settings were reset and my characters were gone except some mules and my 85 assassin. I lost my 90 sorc, all shared stash items. What is going on? It is single player? I save and exit has it never been saving its just for looks? This is devastating.
Hey, it’s possible your save files got corrupt during the crash, hopefully they still exist.
You can check for them here:
C:\Users\ (Current User) \Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected
If you see your files there, make sure the file names end with the extension:
.d2s
you might need to change your “view” settings in windows to make the file extensions visible:

If the files are there and don’t work, you could try uploading them to Hero Editor:
https://d2runewizard.com/hero-editor
If they successfully upload, export them to a new save file, and replace the corrupt saves with the exports from hero editor.
Alternatively, if the files are completely FUBAR, you could rebuild your char in hero editor and replace the corrupt files that way.
And finally, you could always try and do a restore on your entire computer. If you have a recent restore point, you could revert back to that, and you’d get your chars back. But you’d lose any items they found since the restore point was created:
you would also lose all regular computers files you have created/added since then!!! Proceed with caution:

I hope you can manage to restore your files, and if you do, I recommend you make a back up. Just make a copy of the entire folder, that has your chars, and make a new copy every once and a while. If you have this issue again, you can restore with the copied files.
