new auto-update on steam! problems with saved games

[KillenFuhrer]

since tonight's auto-update via steam, has anyone else been unable to load previous saved game? Keeping in mind the multiple hours spent thus far on building my character and empire.

The only semi-mod i have is the '81 New Units' mode that was otherwise free of complications.

If the auto update continues to undo progress played, I question its relevance and importance.

Very frustrated.

i cannot provide insight on this problem but this has happened with other games on steam to me.  It was eventually fixed.  I just want to point out that one of the benefits of Impulse is updates are not automatically applied.. you can wait it out and find out if others are having problems before you jump in.

yes that's a fair call, had the same with Total War mods funny enough. Sadly every time I mod a game I forget to disengage auto update on steam!

I'd welcome a solution if anyone has one; don't feel motivated to start from the beginning again.

Since the cd key you get with the steam download of WB will work with the TW website download, what I have done is I use my steam copy to play native and online, and I use a copy I downloaded from TW to play everything else. I only paid once since the key will work in both copies So if steam updates WB and I lose a save, well no biggie.
