Save file corrupted after the third checkpoint

Save got corrupted after the third checkpoint. Reloading dropped me back two hours. Could not reproduce it a second time, so this may be a one-off, but worth flagging.

Earn your seat in the next test

Baldur's Gate 3 is out, and that is what makes it worth covering: you can play it tonight, and what you write goes on your tester profile.

  • It counts. Reports build the profile we read when a studio asks us for testers. An empty profile is why most applications go nowhere.
  • First in line. Cover Baldur's Gate 3 and you hear about its next playtest before it shows up on this page.
  • Two minutes is enough. One bug, one performance note, one honest paragraph. That is the kind of thing a developer can act on.

No test announced yet One mail the moment a test opens. No other mail.
