Is the 2.054 beta compatible with the saves of the 2.050? It seems so, but it is better to have confirmation.

We make every effort to keep save compatibility between patches. Please inform us of any apparent incompatibility.

Woot!
I've made the changes. Just waiting on our local localizations (Spanish, German). Then if we have no more pending issues, we'll make a build for release.
Merci, mon ami, pour tout tu travail...

Addressing the issue now. Thank you, Daneel, for this significant contribution!

No. The patch will test if damage to the save game was done by v2.049. If it detects no damage, it will not attempt to fix the save game for that damage.

The hot fix is currently in testing.

Version 2.048 is basically 2.044 with German language support. Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy.

The good news is that we may be able to reconstitute save games damaged by 2.049. We are looking into that now.

Please remember to update the source as well, website is still with 2.044

Our normal provision of the source upon release is delayed while we test the fix to 2.049.

Just a missed test, but as usual the smallest things lead to the biggest disasters. (Sigh)

I deeply regret to say that the problem came from a 20-hour trigger. There is decreasing chance before 20 game hours pass that a save will not be corrupted. Unfortunately, this is one corruption (unlike the one we were fixing) that we can't fix. 

We are rolling it back now while we look for the problem.

Half of these were player-reported issues. We take them seriously. Please keep them coming!

Unfortunately, inserting anything in any reference lists in Warband corrupts the save games this way -- the game references everything by line number. So we generally add things to the end, but then this causes problems with reference that expect all troops of a particular type to be grouped together.

In retrospect, we should have activated that sibling slot, used script_game_start to load it, and changed the code to use it for sibling searches. Easy enough for a modder to do, I suppose...

Sorry, I was off-line due to Hurricane Irma. We're shooting for next week.
