Save file exists but character does not appear in game
i got logged out of the game, and when i logged back in my character disappeared. i checked the save characters file and the file exists, yet when i enter the game it does not appear in the hero selection and i cannot choose it.
my file is the bigger in size than the other 2 saves (220 kb) since i played on it most of the time, yet i can only see the other two characters in game.

My 10-year-old has the same issue. Tried moving the DAT file to another machine and connecting to the game there but it won't come up in the hero select there either.
