So here's a silly situation. I load up the latest Steam version (R56), start a challenge game (the recent Orcish Healer one), and after a while alt+enter to look up some corpse effect I didn't remember well. The game crashes. This saddened me a bit because I liked the challenge a lot and was on a great pace. I would love to replay it even if the score wouldn't count.

However, I can't try the challenge again because it's reported as "in progress" but the progress has already been lost and consequently there are no saved games available to load from (the autosave never happened until the game crashed). I'm now essentially locked out of perhaps my favorite challenge to date, and it saddens me even more than the initial crash.

If there's no easy way to avoid crashes or other potential causes of lost challenge games, at least give us the ability to abort them at will from the main menu as an emergency fallback. Just feels kinda weird to be locked out this way.
