Savegames for v0.8

[Woober]

Ahoy, Captains ⚓

As we work on the major 0.8 update, featuring the new Tier 3 ships, we're aiming to have it ready within the next month or so. To ensure a smooth upgrade process, we could use a little help from you.

If you've played the game extensively and have savegames with plenty of money, items, and progress on the v0.7.5, we'd greatly appreciate it if you could share your savegame with us. This will help us test the update thoroughly and ensure your progress is seamlessly upgraded when the update is released.

Please send us an email on [e-mail] with your savegame file. You can find instructions on where to locate your savegame: https://support.miscgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/26485169811601-Where-is-my-savegame

Thank you for your support, and we can't wait for you to experience the next update!

If this game was only on console then sure giving save games make sense .

but we are talking about pc's and there are so many variations out there for you too think you can get a flawless 0.8 released you may want to rethink your strategy.

i will guarantee you, you would be better off releasing 0.8 in the public branch and letting us send in crash reports than to share our saved files.

this is the point of having a beta public test.
to find the bugs.

if you just want our saves then that defeats the purpose of having a beta branch.

at least in a crash report you can see what is causing the conflicts. with our pcs.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We completely understand your concerns and appreciate the feedback regarding how we’re approaching this process. Let me clarify our reasoning a bit more:

The reason we’re requesting save files is not to replace the public beta testing process but to complement it. We’re focused on edge cases, particularly those related to savegame compatibility, which can be tricky to identify even with a robust beta branch. Player-submitted saves provide invaluable real-world examples that may not be covered by internal tests or developer-created savegames.

While it’s true that PC systems vary greatly, which adds complexity, this diversity also means that having access to a range of save files from players allows us to simulate and preempt potential issues before the update goes live. This can make the public beta branch more efficient by catching specific upgrade issues early, so testers can focus on broader gameplay and performance testing.

We also see the value in public beta testing and crash reports, and rest assured, these remain an integral part of our process. However, addressing certain compatibility challenges proactively with player-provided saves enhances our ability to deliver a more stable experience right from the start.

On console platforms, savegames are locked so there is no way to send developers to use any player related savegames, this is only possible for PC.

Your input is valuable, and if you’re not comfortable sharing your saves, that’s absolutely fine. The beta branch and crash reports will still help us refine the update. However, for those willing to share, their contribution can help us resolve niche issues faster and ensure smoother transitions for everyone.

Thanks again for taking the time to voice your thoughts. Your engagement is what helps us improve and deliver a better game for the community.

Will wave height be decoupled from characters in 0,8?
Because right now wave heights must be turned down if you drive a small plastic bathtube like flippy to the fishing grounds on the open atlantic. But when we gain the tier 3 boats bigger waves would be fun. If my old character inforces small waves on the game world it´s useless to further use his saves!!

Please Also be so kind and fix the unreal engine bug as well. atm is unplayable, in all Tire 2 boats, for many of us. And Yes, it's been reported over and over again

-Thanks

All of my previous saves are gone. I put so much time and effort into preparing for tier 3 and now it's making me start over. I would share my saves if I still had them.

Me too, my saves are visible in game but says they are incompatible so unable to load a saved game.
Is this going to be fixed with a patch or update because I also have a lot of time and effort invested, close to 300 million saved and the licenses to boot!
I'm not starting over
