Missing save files/slots
Load game list is sometimes empty

Hi, I've encountered a weird bug.

I've been playing the steam version for the past two weeks without problems.
A couple of days ago I switched to 3.3.0 beta using steam's 'Beta' tab in the game properties and played a few characters without problems.
Yesterday I switched back to 'NONE - Opt out of all beta programs' and noticed that I can't load a saved game... the 'Load game' list is empty.
I created a couple dummy characters and saved them either with 'Save and quit', or 'Save and return to menu', but the 'load game' list was always empty.
Please note that I'm not trying to load the games which I made before or during the switch to 3.3.0. I'm talking about games which I stared after I switch back to NONE.

As I was playing back and forth with this bug (starting and exiting the game, creating new chars, etc...) at one point all of the games appeared in the list.
I thought that the problem is fixed, so I wanted to delete all dummy games. As soon as I pressed the red 'X' next to the first game and confirmed that I want to delete it, entire list disappeared again.

After a bit of fiddling around, I noticed that if I create a new game and name my character 'As', the load game list will be properly populated.
When I delete the first 'As' game, the list will disappear.

Here's the screenshot of the 'load game' list when it works:



If I now delete the first item in the list, the entire list will disappear.



As I was typing this post, I tried to delete the first 'SD' game (second to last in the list), and then this happened...




At the end, I managed to fix the problem by deleting all save games one by one from last to first, and now the list behaves as expected.
I'll post more details if I manage to reproduce it again.
(I think it might be the problem in the name of the "Goblin, 10" character. It was the first time I used a comma, space and a number)
