So after downloading 4.1.6, it says that my save from 4.1.5 (where I had to restart anyway) was now an old, unsupported one. does this mean that I will have to start over every update? absolutely loving the game so far and can't wait for more but not being able to use the same saves is rough.
Sadly many variables are getting changed over the updates. Since the 4.1.6 is mostly bug fixes, the old saves could work. But you might encounter certain bugs in combat since a lot of the variable structure is saved in the save-file.
As with the last skip-function we plan to add additional check-points in the future if save-game compatibility cannot be achieved.
