I played for a few hours the other night, and I know I was saving to a particular save point.
I logged in tonight and that save game is completely gone. However, every other save game is there - it is only the most recent save that is missing.
In addition, I am unable to find the save game location in Windows 7. The following forum suggests it is in C:\Users\[user Name]\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity.

But I have no such directory. I note that I have installed Steam into a different folder than Program Files, as often the Program Files folder can cause issues with access control. So maybe under these circumstances the save game folder is someplace else.
The vanished saved game is clearly a bug. Developers: please address this issue, there is nothing worse than losing time spent playing the game. If it happens again, I'll probably give up on this game until a new patch. What's the point of having to replay all the time? I'm not that far in, only at the ruins under the temple in the first town.
