Favor, item and achievement data loss (game.prefs.bad)

from Demigod Forums

So yeah, at some point between first launch today and yesterday all my stored favor, favor items and achievements got fubar'd. Achievements and items reset to locked with 0 progress and favor ended up at -740 (sounds like either aprox. the cost of items I'd unlocked or the amount of unspent favor I had)

 

It's not a one off display bug and it's not dissappearing with a restart. I checked game.prefs and all the achieve progress is gone, I've got an old game.prefs.bad which may have all my old achievement junk in it but the modified date is back on saturday when DG should have been uninstalled from my system which is odd. *shrug*

 

Dunno if it was the update, because my last game last night ended in a crash, or just something unrelated. I do know I'm working off a 740 favor debt before I can buy any favor items again though.

Well, unless I CBA fiddling with game.prefs to see what changes can be wrought.;P

Apparently my ability to play nightmare was retained, and oddly enough my first Single Player Tournament match I had my Furious Blade, but when I won the first match and went on to the next one, all my favor progress (had basically all the standard and almost all the assassin favor items purchased) was removed.  I had one unhandled exception crash while trying to connect to my first multiplayer game after the patch, but after that everything played fine...
