Made a back up of all my saves and did as suggested. Didn't change anything. I do play PoE through Steam and starting the game in off-line mode worked. Just gives me the hazzle of not being able to use the Steam guides while playing. Oh well, guess it's a smal prize to pay to play this otherwise excellent game.
After the 3.0 patch/WM2 I'm experiencing a strange bug regarding savegames. When I get to the main menu "Continue" and "Load" are grayed out, I can't click them. I have to restart the game several times and then sometimes after like 6 or 7 tries they are clickable. Anyone got an advice on this? Getting a bit frustrating having to do this every time I want to play.
