Hi!

I've been playing three characters for a while, Vital (lv 43), Sifil (lv 41) and Dinsen (lv 38). I always play on single mode with these three guys as NPPlayers.

However, this morning I wanted to create a new character to try out another class. So I started the game with Dinsen, Sifil, and my newly created Nilos. However, I noticed the "NPPlayers" tab showed I was playing with Dinsen, Vital and Nilos. Although Sifil was indeed on-screen, with his real weapon and accessories, clicking on Vital in the NPPlayers list gave me access to his inventory, status and class, just like I was playing him.

I restarted the game to see if it could fix this, but actually Sifil was missing from the character selection screen, and was replaced by a second copy of Vital. The game seems to have got confused when selecting my party earlier, and normally saved Vital's player file over Sifil's. The SIfil.plr.bak file was also overwritten, preventing me from restoring Sifil to his last state.

I made a manual backup of all my characters a few days ago, so I could still recover this character, minus a few levels. Anyway, I hope this bug can be spotted and fixed quickly to prevent character loss in the future. :)

Cheers!

PS: The bug kept reproducing each time I played until I removed everything in the Playsers folder, except the *.plr files. It looks like it is fixed this way, but as I don't know what caused the bug in the first time, I think it might be wise to be careful, and manually backup your characters frequently.
