errr dont u see the back up dsparty file? ds should create at least one backup file with the dsparty.bak extension. ds2 even has a max_save_backups option u can set in the .ini file to customise how many backups the game should maintain.

i have personally never experienced this type of save file corruption before but thats why there is a dsparty.bak file which the devs put there! dont recreate the char with the same name or the dsparty.bak file will get overwritten.

well... if u dont, well i guess this is a lesson to create backup copies for your data on a thumbdrive, cd-rw or some other place!! i still have all my ds1 & 2 chars and mods all backed up. how much time will it take for u to copy those files to another device? certainly wont take u as long as trying to salvage the file. penny wise but pound foolish decision.

EDIT: your old computer may have a dying hard drive if this starts happening more frequently. better backup all data and replace the disk. u have been warned on using dying hardware!
