Client-side character no longer being saved

Since yesterday Master Sword suddenly stopped saving my character! :(
Everything worked fine until then and nothing notable was changed..
I play on LAN with some friends and none of them has this problem.
As mentioned in the title: The character should be saved locally.
Loading the character is possible.
The character-file is not set to read-only.
It does not matter who hosts the game.
I have already reinstalled and tried after every patch. It's always the same.

Here are some hints to the core of the problem:

console (and log_cldll.log) says:
cl: Error (CLIENT): Error: __MsgFunc_Item --> Begin

log_msdll.log says:
Error (SERVER): Error: MSChar_Interface::HL_SVReadCharData --> Begin
Error (SERVER): Error: MSChar_Interface::SaveChar --> Encrypt

Has anyone got an idea?

It appears to have problems loading your character correctly. Corruption?

As I already said, loading the character is surprisingly no problem.
I have all my stuff and all stats are correct too.

I'll try to transfer my character to a different pc and see what happens..

The character remains unsaveable.

It really looks like a corrupted file, but why can I load it without any problem..? :?

The ways of MS:C are myserious. Basicly, it has a few bugs. Hopefully you can start a new character which wont be corrupted.

..I don't really want to give up my character...yet.

Well, I tried creating a new character..works fine.

Then I tried something interesting: After loading the character (in-game) I renamed the character-file.
I was hoping MS would generate a new uncorrupted file..it did not.
If one deletes a normal (working) character-file MS does create a new file after some time.
This really sucks..

At least I know now, that it can't be the file. Must be something about my character..

I ve founded 1 temp solution. Create a Server with characters slots, create 1 char, go to save dir and replace the new Steam_ID_LAN_X with ur bugged char changing the file name. its work!!
