when writing to a file cmd just crashes - batch-file

Question

I'm making a game in batch, but when i try to write to a file, cmd just crashes. I'm writing to a file to save data. So that the user can just come back and load it up.
Create User Code Block:
:cruser1
cls
set /a created=1
echo(
set /p name=Enter The Name of The User::
goto save
Load User Code Block:
:loaduser
cls
set /a created=0
echo(
set /p loaduser=Enter The Name of The User to Load::
if exist "%loaduser%.dll" (
< %loaduser%.dll (
set /p MHP=
set /p HP=
set /p DMG=
set /p GOLD=
set /p EXP=
set /p LVL=
set /p MEXP=
)
goto menu
)
if not exist "%loaduser%.dll" (
echo File not found.
timeout /t 3 /NOBREAK >nul
goto loaduser
)
Save Data Code Block:
:save
cls
echo(
if %created% equ 1(
(
echo %MHP%
echo %HP%
echo %DMG%
echo %GOLD%
echo %EXP%
echo %LVL%
echo %MEXP%
) > %name%.dll
attrib +h "%name%.dll"
goto menu
)
if %created% equ 0(
(
echo %MHP%
echo %HP%
echo %DMG%
echo %GOLD%
echo %EXP%
echo %LVL%
echo %MEXP%
) > %loaduser%.dll
attrib +h "%loaduser%.dll"
goto menu
)
Does anyone know how to fix this and why it's happening?
Edit: I debugged it, after saving echoing it worked, after i killed the enemy, It did say it worked, but also Access is denied.
Hopefully this helps.

You have errant parentheses, Issue one. issue 2 failure to test existance for existing hidden file
If exist "%loaduser%.dll" attrib -h "%loaduser%.dll"
if %created% equ 0 (
echo %MHP%
echo %HP%
echo %DMG%
echo %GOLD%
echo %EXP%
echo %LVL%
echo %MEXP%
) > %loaduser%.dll
attrib +h "%loaduser%.dll"
goto menu
