If you alias the Turbine.PluginData.Load and Turbine.PluginData.Save methods it will cause the fix to not change anything in your plugin like this:
Code:
local load_alias = Turbine.PluginData.Load;
local save_alias = Turbine.PluginData.Save;
-- now just use the alias functions to do the saving or loading
save_alias(Turbine.DataScope.Character, "PluginName", object_to_save);
local loaded_object = load_alias(Turbine.DataScope.Character, "PluginName");
