Need save game after chemical storeroom

[Redearth]

My apologies if this should have been posted in the technical support forum. I did find a posting similar to mine in the technical support forum, but the save game link that was posted there is not valid anymore.

Also, since there was some concern on part of the developers as to whether or not people who had this problem purchased the game or not, I'd like to quickly add that I did in fact purchase the game from Direct2Drive and contacted them about the issue. Their response:

"You are correct that the patch is the cause of the problem. Digital distribution games use different copy protection methods than retail games, and occasionally patches for boxed versions are not cross-compatible. Most publishers now release all-in-one patches that support both the boxed and digital download versions, however it seems that Fricitonal have not taken that path.

In addition, most patches first check for compatibility before they attempt to patch the game. It appears that the patch for Penumbra: Black Plague simply overwrites existing files without checking for compatibility first. The modifications made by the patch file "break" the copy protection system. Unfortunately the only way to repair it will be to uninstall and then reinstall the game, which wouldn't help with the technical issue you are encountering.

The patching issue has now been reported to management, and will be investigated by technical staff."
