Issue title

All saves are gone after rebooting my pc

Steps to reproduce

1. install DS on Chrome
2. make savegame 1 adventure with Willow(beard) for 11 days
3. make savegame 2 sandbox with little blond girl(3rd character)
4. (updated chipsetdrivers and soundcard drivers)
5. reboot system

Describe your issue

I have been playing for a couple of days and made 2 saves:

save 1: 1-11 Willow (adventure)
save 2: day 32 with the little blond girl. (character 3)

I lost actually everything as i have to start over with willow (the beard man).

I think this might be important. I love the game thought, too bad i have to start all over again, it was going pretty good.

I dont restart my computer often once a month probably, so i didnt noticed..

is there a way to locate the save files of DS and track them so i can figure out what the problem is?

thanks.

Confirmed. Same thing happened to me, I lost all my characters.

That should not happen, are you clearing your cache somehow?

[forrust]

I've found out the cache is indeed cleared exactly from the moment i rebooted...I know there is a function in chrome that enables this behavior, it is turned off though.In eventvwr i've found a message chrome could not exit properly... So it seems like chrome resets his cache if it hangs(?).. i have not tried rebooting yet, but its kinda clear it is the cache issue. Chrome does not access the file system for security issues. So this data is stored in a temporary folder.. I had the impression this was somehow linked to my google account. That would be a nice place for savegames, i have no idea if thats even possible so for now i'll just have to be very careful with my browsers cache :)i might even consider writing a script to fetch the savegames.. but then again why not use steam, i guess i'm just lazy playing games in my internet browser lol

Sounds like a browser issue more than an actual issue with the game.. I honestly couldn't say as I do not use chrome..I'm failing to see exactly how this is an exploit though..I highly advise Steam.. then you can make backups of your saves if you so wish..

Yes, unfortunately the Chrome versions still has to function within the Chrome framework, resulting in problems when Chrome does some things automatically.
