IWD:EE (PC) - Corrupted Save...?

Something went terribly wrong in my play through ... I was doing Vale of Shadows; did it slowly, killing 1-2 monsters at a time from one side of the map to the other, saving as often as I could (but via the Quick Save). But when I got to the east end of the map, I realize that I lost all of the explored map on the west side (where I started) as though the fog of war was set back in place and all the monsters reset!! Well I still get loot from them on top of what I already received from the first time round but I didn't really want to do it all over again. So after that and after clearing a couple of crypts I decided to head back to Khuldahar but as I exited the map, only two locations were left - Easthaven (which I couldn't reach), and the Vale of Shadows!! Khuldahar and the other places were COMPLETELY GONE!! I did most of my saves for this run in one or two save files but they were both like that!!

Did I do something wrong here, or did the save file get so corrupted that I had to start all over again??

    Sounds like your game is lost. You could export your characters and import them into a new game. That way you will start will all your equipment and experience so that it won't take so long to catch back up to where you were.

    Thanks. Well at least I wasn't too far from the starting line of Easthaven so that shouldn't be too bad... I wonder if I could restart using the same characters on a different platform, say Mac?

    Yeah, you can port characters/saves between versions. You just have to put them in the appropriate folders on your various devices.
