Unfortunately not. The only thing I could do is recreate the items manually on the basis of being told what they were, and I think it should be obvious enough why I can't really put that into practice.
He can't do anything about it. Sucks but that's the way it does sometimes! He said he is working on something that will prevent this from happening again though, so that is a bit of silver lining.

If you hadn't used it for days prior to the rollback, it wouldn't have been affected to begin with.

It does seem that this crash would be due to the same bug that caused the rollback last time, but the failsafes I added then caught it, so there should be no risk of any rollback this time around, and I should be able to fix it.

Well, for anyone curious, the bug turned out to be related to how nidbanes handle the new lethality mechanics, causing them to go into an infinite loop of trying to attack, being unable to, and therefore retrying indefinitely, which allocated some bit of memory for each attempt.

Rollbacks would not affect items in your hearthfire, because they're not part of the dynamic server state.
