... you can try loading your 'retail' save game into 'modding' release. DungeonSiege2Mod.exe has an option that allows it to ignore data checks and load any save game.

Copy the save files ... to the "My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2 Mod\Save" folder

Launch DungeonSiege2Mod with the "loadanysave" command line argument:

Quote:
DungeonSiege2Mod.exe loadanysave

This will disable all save game CRC checks and allow you to load all the save files that are found in the mod save folder, regardless of that mods that were installed when the save file was created.

Edit: Now with extra stickiness... (by request). Smile

So once you do that, and save the game via DSMod, does that update the CRC and allow the game to then be normally loaded into retail DS2?

I don't think so.

It still sounds good, though.

Nope. AFAIK DS2Mod saves are incompatible with the retail game... (not sure why though). All this does is allow you to add / remove / change mods when playing with DS2Mod (very helpful when testing / debugging...).
