Well I was out of town for a couple of days, so I came home tonight and patched directly from 1.3.2 to 1.4.1
I'm thinking that this was a mistake. I should've patched 1.4 first, then 1.4.1
But that's still Larian's issue. Who doesn't include all former patches in the newest one?
As far as going back a few saves.. I could try that. I don't see why my most current save is bad but one further back would be ok, but hey I'll try anything at this point.
