Will v1.03 Break Save Games?

February 27, 2008 2:57:38 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

My friends and I are thinking about starting a large game that will span multiple sessions.  The patch will probably be out before we finish the game.

So, I was wondering if v1.03 will break save games.  If so, it would probably be better to wait until the patch comes out to begin. 

 

So we'de jut like to know, so we can begin scheduling our sessions.

I can't recall if it did with 1.0 to now. If you have the physical disk, you can test it. Uninstall, reinstall, start a game, save, update, try to play the same game.

As a note, the patches for Gal Civ 2 did cause saves to break, if I remember correctly. So, though they are different developers, it might be the same here due to Stardock Central.

when 1.2 came out I think the 1.1 games were no longer playable.

easy fix, finish your game before you update.

1.01 to 1.02 save games were fine but 1.03 will likely break them any previous versions.

What i noticed from saved games is that each "saved game" is pretty much its own entity all together. Even mods wont work on them but dont break the saved games but anyhow u get the idea. It sucks patches break the saved games but really maybe u should install 2 SINS directory wise one to patch, one to have for finishing saved games if they are a 8 hour plus saved IMO.
