Safety First: Back-up your save games after each game

[Ignotium]

No kidding, just yesterday night I joined my first ever online game (It sucked btw) and I noticed something weird was going on, I couldn't use my skill (Rolland's Scorpio) so I thought maybe it was something related to being online and not being able to w/e.

Then when I got back to the offline, I noticed I couldn't use it either, and when I went to check my skill tree, BAAAM, all my skill points LOST, Everything was back at 0, and being lvl22, **** that, what a freaking stupid bug I encountered.

After googling it, it's quite a common bug across all 3 platforms, Gearbox says they will make a patch, but I seriously doubt any patch is going to give me or anyone the lost points back.

There's a guy over at www.overclock.net that can repair it using a tool whatever kind of thing. **** this sucks

This bug reminds me of missing config files and reseted singleplayer progress in UT3.

Yeah, heard some talk about this a few days ago. Apparently if the host makes any modifications to his characters - like set his inventory size to 0 - it will carry over into whatever clients that join and save.
