I had left PoP for a few months, and when i came back to it, i tried to load my last saved game, and the only thing that i saw was "Empty Slot" :( all that progress lost. I don't know why this has happened.
Any ideas?

it's possible that i back up the files. I found an old backup from a year ago, but the progress is next to nothing. I attempted to continue but when i try to heal the land on the left side of the map, i press E to do it and both characters freeze in place. Nothing else is affected. I can exit and manipulate the menu. But both characters keep freezing in that part of the map ever time i reload. That never happened before....
Anyboy have any save game where all but the last temple of each map is healed? I really i can't bear going through the whole thing again - and i love this game....
