 [1.2] How to Start DS2 and DS2: Broken World
==============================================

Dungeon Siege 2 used a special CRC check to verify saved games. The primary 
result was corrupted saved games, due to the use of mods or NoCD cracks. To 
combat the problem, Elys released a DS2 All*Saves loader that would allow you 
to load up any savegame. She's recently released an updated version of this 
loader for use with Broken World:

If you have any trouble converting your DS2 characters to BW, download and 
install Elys' DS2BW All*Saves and launch Broken World using her loader. (The 
BW All*Saves also includes a hack to unlock the camera, which you may or may 
not like. Try converting without the All*Saves first.)

1) From the main menu, choose Single Player.

2) Under the list of heroes, click the Convert Hero button.

3) Choose from your list of characters from DS2 and click the Convert arrow.

4) Your character now shows up in the main list of heroes.

The conversion converts the character's last saved game; so, if you're in the 
middle of DS2, you can convert the character and continue playing DS2 using 
the Broken World content.
