[b15>b16] Game Save don't "upgrade"

#1 Post by coffee »

I have in a b15 savegame a good level 30 character that I would like continue to play it but that I can't manage to migrate to newer versions, not even b16, it's my only char "alive" but b16 refuses to list it in load screen. Any sugestion? Also it don't appear online in last updated chars.

Sorry but...there's simply no savefile compatibility between releases as of now.
So I'd suggest simply playing that char until the end(death, victory...) and then after you're done switching to 18.

Well thanks, for now seems the only way. Usually I always manage to load older savings in newer versions.

Sometimes a character will load over a beta change, but very rarely are they "correct." For example one of the big things to change between betas is the addition of talents, which are stored in a table and the character runs around with indexes to that table. Since that table changes over betas you can end up with a fighter having Lightning instead of Shield Pummel, etc.
<DarkGod> lets say it's intended

That problem was fixed some beta ago since now talent ids are strings, but still many things are prone to break indeed

And I really think you did a good job preserving savefiles compatibility as much you could, I usually always manage to upgrade to newer version, as I can remember only from b15 to b16 and another older version I had problems.
