Only works for new characters? What happens with non-new characters? And by new, do you mean you haven't entered the game yet?
NEW VERSION
==V3.0.4==
1-Fixed a potential issue with paths being checked incorrectly by my file exists function, this may solve problems with the Defiler checking if your game files exist, etc. Updated some code to be more flexible with set paths.
2-The program now detects if either Titan Quest or Titan Quest: IT is running, not just Titan Quest. Also, both changing the difficulty or waypoints will now warn you if the game is running.
3-Having IT running will now enable the patch game feature, but trying to use it will state that it’s not needed for IT. This was done to avoid the ‘Patch Game’ will not enable question.
4-Unique Chance Multiplier and Increase Chest Items have both been disabled, you will be able to select either if you currently have them enabled, but afterwards they will stay disabled. If you wish to use these two ‘unsupported’ mods then you will have to continue using version 3.0.3.
5-Updated the loading of settings to properly load the game versions from the registry, etc.
