Old save cannot be read

[Prince of Y]

This stupid update has ruined my 3300 people dynasty! There is meaningless,suddenly I felt when I found I can't play with my 110 hours save.

Right click > properties > betas > choose the old version that your save was on.

You may not be able to play on the new version, but the old version is still available so you can continue your save.

You could start a new game.

Do we know if they're going to officially patch this or anything so we don't have to manually switch our game version in properties? Or is this just gonna be how it is for anyone wanting to play an old save?

They have done what you said in some previous versions(never met same problem since I started to play CK3), it is not about abilities, it is' bout attitude!

Nein! Could you imagine to abandon an over 3300 people-size family? Would you ignore more than 110 hrs unpaid-hard-working?

Not possible as this is a game's version issue, certain patches change too much to be compatible. This is also the reason why older versions are always available.

They haven't, not all patches affect the game in the same way.

If you want to carry on your campaign you'll need to roll to a previous compatible patch.

This is how it is in Paradox games, sadly. Most patches, and afaik all DLC accompanying patches, will bork save files. That's why they helpfully keep old patches on file.

1.1.2 saves will not work properly with 1.3.0 version of the game. Only 1.2.2 version of the game should translate properly into 1.3.0 Corvus.
What I can suggest you is to port the game into 1.2.2 version first, saving the file and then booting 1.3.0 version and saving again. I cannot guarantee this will work correctly, but I hope it does!

Thank you, but this does not work I tried. Coz you cant start game after playing 1.3 version with old saves, it will not be loaded.

I mean the annoying truth is some versions accept old saves some not. It isn't consistently. Also, this is a long time playing game across 5 centuries. How could I expect re-start a ruler once with updating?

So sad. They are not consistent.

Thank you! I know it didn't work for the other user but I'm still at least going to give this a try in case it somehow works for me. Otherwise I guess temporarily changing to old patch versions when this happens will have to work.

Joke, "Just start a new game bro" lost a 60 hour play through because Paradox refuses to update their sheet engine. Every game they do this and never care what happens
