anything in RAM was lost when the power went out - for any reason. so, it would revert back to last save/auto-save point. a sudden loss of power would not cause a problem with the last completed save/auto-save operation, either. you most likely forgot or you have a failing drive and somehow didn't have corrupted data when you loaded the game back up without fail -- very unlikely.

no, a patch doesn't touch your save .lg directories. so, no worries about that being the cause.

if the hdd is old or acting up, go get an app like crystaldiskinfo.exe. it will access what's called the SMART fearture of your hdd or ssd. it will let you know if you have a failing drive or a soon to be failing drive.

if less thant 30-40k hours on hdd or less than 10 years on ssd with extremely heavy use, i wouldn't think this is likely.
