This is the most common problem. You downloaded a save from the original 2006 Titan Quest (or the Immortal Throne expansion), but you are playing the Anniversary Edition.
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Character list empty | Wrong folder. Ensure it’s SaveData\Main\, not SaveData\ directly. |
| Load error / crash | Save was made with a different game version or mods. Try removing mods first. |
| “Corrupt save” | The file may be from original TQ (2006). Try opening in Anniversary Edition – usually auto-converts. |
| Steam overwrote my save | Disable Steam Cloud permanently for Titan Quest (Properties > Steam Cloud > Off). |
| Shared stash missing | Put _Stash.gsh / _Stash.gst into SaveData\ (not Main). Back up your existing stash first. | titan quest save file download
