Fantastic! Thank you so much for the wonderful news, and thanks for being so responsive to the fans.

So I've seen enough threads about this to notice that this is a common enough problem to be of concern. Long story short, some of us can't access the Stronghold menu during the White March expansion (or anywhere else, for that matter) because we used the console to teleport out of the final dungeon rather than revert to an earlier save. In my case and in the case of a few other topics I've read, I had to use the console because the pre-endgame autosave never took place like it was supposed to. All my other saves were there, that one just wasn't. Even opened a ticket and had support check out my savegames. Unfortunately, since I was limiting my number of saves to reduce data bloat, I didn't have a manual save before the endgame either. So my only option to play the expansion content I paid for was console > teleport. Or replay the whole game to get back to the point I was, which is a depressing option for a gamer with limited time. I understand that the way the code was written was to prevent Stronghold access during endgame, and thus locking it out permanently if you teleport somewhere else during endgame, but this is a HUGE problem for some of us! Essentially, we're locked out of a core game mechanic because we used the command console to work around another bug, that of the final autosave not taking place. We can never use the Stronghold again and lose all of the related content - Including new White March content! - because of this issue. So is there any hope for us at all? Can this be patched? I felt cheated due to the savegame issue to begin with (literally, because I had to use cheats to fix it) and now realizing that I've lost a whole chunk of the game is just making me feel more that I can't get the expansion content I was expecting and paid for. So developers, please help those of us who were affected out. Give us our Stronghold back! Thanks for listening to the rumblings of a depressed gamer who nevertheless loves Pillars of Eternity.

Nope. I never delete savegames. Or much of anything else for that matter.

That's correct. Isn't there in standard or backup. Save files are located at the below link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ez40b51saeoxsp/Pillars%20of%20Eternity.zip?dl=0

Checked my backup files at your advise and could find no such save.

All of my save files - with 60 hours worth of progress - appear to be unusable with the expansion. All are from within the final dungeon as are both of my autosaves. I saw elsewhere in the forums that there would be an autosave before the final dungeon but that doesn't appear to be the case with me. Beating the game doesn't allow me to continue either. I am permanently stuck in this dungeon. What can I do to access the content I paid for?

Same problem. Also, it appears that the bounty will not appear in this area. Not sure if that's because Eder's quest is bugged or simply because I cleared the area before picking up the bounty.
