So I had been wanting to play PoE for a while now, but I operate on a fairly small budget so I couldn't really afford it until the steam sale yesterday. ​I was a big Baldur's Gate player, so I was really excited to start and I would like to say this game is freaking awesome, but I was about 11 hours in and fighting the king, I had a full party and a few unique items, around 1k coins and then my computer crashed. When I got back on it all of about 70 files worth of saves were completely gone, so I lost 11 hours of progress... Why did this happen, and more importantly how can I stop it from happening again, because I plan on playing this game a lot, I don't want to get 100 or 500 or 1000 hours in, and then have all my save files erased just because my computer decided to take a ****. ​Thank you for the wonderful game though, in all seriousness. ​Ancalabond.
