I reviewed the patch and the portion of code it changes and it doesn't seem to
match up (I am no pro in understanding diff files though, so I could be
mistaken).

It appears my save crash only occurs when I change levels. If I save when I
start
a new level, I can save whenever during ONLY that one level. When I complete
the level and go to the next one and attempt to save is when the crash occurs:

Exception 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) @ 0073:7EF94A52

The instruction at 0x7EF94A52 reference memory at 0x0BC20090.
The memory could not be 'written'.

Anyways... a temporary work around is to just complete the level, exit out of
the level and then select the new level from the campaign list. All your hero
data is still maintained (items, level, etc).

I'll try this patch upon hearing back from John Drescher.
