I was enjoying this game despite it's ridiculous amount of instances of "not responding" and having to force close the game. But now, I get into chapter 4 and I kill some crazed people in a port in some small village - game sure enough crashes post fight and now ALL of my chapter 4 saved games (3 in total) will not load. Whenever I try to load them, it will go to the loading page and then go back to the main menu.

Bloody hell this is insane. Anyone know how to fix this issue with the saved games not loading or do I have to try and request a refund for this severely broken game?

Try reinstalling the game.

Won't work.

I'm going to give my crystal ball a rub and say that flungpoo is playing with the Untold Legends DLC installed. Meaning his saves are completely borked up and non-recoverable at this point.

I reported this very issue to both GOG and Daedalic in November. Doesn't look like it'll get fixed without GOG team pushing out a new update.

From what other people wrote, Steam actually has a patch for its version of the game that fixes this, but it doesn't work on GOG installation.

Don't install the DLC and you should be reasonably fine (the carpenter quest is still messed up - also reported - but it doesn't corrupt saves in my experience).

Funtimes.

Lukaszmik, couldn't you give me some good news!?!

But you are absolutely correct and in your other thread, it was the exact same area that you mentioned in it as well - the port map where they mention the cyclops island.

Going to request a refund at this point.
