Do I have to start a new game for every patch?

[blade782]

Just a question, in order to play the new beta hot fix build, do I have to start a new game?

Unless you want the new npc faces, you can keep playing on the old save.
Some changes in the economy may take some time to appear. But I believe it should be fine

patches should be fine. i played beta and when i swapped back, i could not load any old saves...

Same here. Tried the beta, and reverted because there isn't a single player looking for a multiplayer game in the beta patch.
Now I can't load any save at all, the game crashes when I hit the "resume game" button on the menu, or the "load" button when playing.

I tried deleting all my saves in the saves folder, but it's not working. Does anyone have a fix for that ?

I tried reverting back to the beta branch, but same error, I just can't load anything anymore. I also tried to verify game cache on steam.

Older saves are working for me, although I have been updating them with every version that came out. How old/What patch is the save?

 

[Kehlian]

It's not about the saves, I can't even reach the loading screen

 

[captainbinary]

Do you have any mods installed?

 

[Kehlian]

Nope, removed them all with the "verify game cache" option from Steam :/

Ok I found one of the possible issues:

The crash logs mention one of my save files, I tried removing it from the folder, but every time I launch Bannerlord, the files comes back into the folder. I had to deactivate cloud sync from steam.
After several crashes and file to file removing, I think it comes from the beta save files that make the game crash when I try to go to the loading screen on the non beta branch.


Now it seems to be working

So Main branch with patches are fine. I am currently playing on the beta branch, this got me thinking, what about when the beta branch update? will I lose my progress? Or is main branch the only sustainable platform for single player save in the long term?

Actually i had the same exact issue. And i deleted the saves in the game folder and it worked when i previously used beta 1.1.0 and opt out to 1.0.11. Before deleting the save folder, each time i clicked resume i had crash.

u need to turn off your steam sync to the cloud. then remove all your old save

i heard the same suggestion before. could you elaborate?
here is what i did. I turn off steam sync, moved the saves to my desktop, relaunched the game, created and saved a new game, then moved the old saves back, tried to access saved games in the game menu and the game froze.
