...meh.
I really love this mod, loved D2 already and now that i found this mod - well. It's like back in the old days. So thank you, Laz and Marco and all the other modders for this D2-based awesomeness!
I managed to get my first character to destruction tonight. Wanted to clear out the good old den of evil, but experienced a ctd once near the end of the quest. (about 90% of the map was uncovered)
Some data was lost, but no big mess fortunately. Only lost about half a level of xp and some crappy rares.

Sooo I started the game again, found a hell-of-a-nice sacred unique for my sorc (my *first* sacred unique!!! - Sash of Shadows), I cheered, put on my freshly found sash, walked 15 more meters, clicked on a dead rouge and BAM - ctd again...
and of course: Despite endless prayers: The sash. Was gone. :facepalm:
The second ctd also happened after clearing about 95% of the map - i was just looking for the last few bad guys.

My questions now are these:
Is there any way to retrieve the item? (for sure as hell not and I'm doomed - but I don't wan't to leave the question unasked anyways...)
and
Why didn't it happen once in Hatred and Terror throughout the game, but on Destruction in Den of Evil twice in a row after nearly finishing the map? Is there any relation to the difficulty and/or map size??
(I think, but am not entirely sure, that both ctd's happened after clicking one of those dead rouges... bug, mayhaps?)

Anyways. Thank you in advance for your help and .. oh my god. It's 2 a.m in the morning and I'm so pissed... that beautiful sash... :cry:

Unfortunately, there is no way to recover your lost Sash. Perhaps the reason you crashed twice in Destruction is because there's a bug with the current map seed and you didn't reroll the map. You can reroll maps by changing difficulties, or if you use PlugY you can set AlwaysRegenMapInSP=1 in PlugY.ini. Also when you make a progression or find a nice item, type /save and hit enter to save the game.

Also did'nt know that.
I'll try rerolling the map and hope for a crashless den of evil.
