Question to the Devs about Save Wipe

[Sturmlied]

Will the Game get wiped again in the next update? A friend of mine wants to buy the game but is not sure if he should buy it now.
I know people all say that the saves get wiped but i want to see it from the devs if possible.
The last update made a big rework of the old system so it needed a wipe but the new update could come without a wipe i guess.

Greetings Sturmlied! Thank you for reaching out!

Your concerns regarding the save wipes are understandable. But there is no need to worry, they are not lost forever after an update. You can still play on your old saves by switching to the previous version of V Rising. However, this unfortunately means you won't be able to access the new content from the patch.

To play on a save created before the patch:

1. Right-click V Rising in your Steam library
2. Select Properties > Betas
3. In the [Beta participation] dropdown menu, choose the legacy-0.5.x branch
4. Update V Rising and you should be able to play as usual!

To return to the newest version, follow the same steps and choose [None] In the [Beta participation] dropdown menu. I hope that clears it up!

When will the save-wipes stop?
With release or will they be a thing "forever"?

however every 3-4 weeks it resets regardless, which in my opinion is an unfortunate choice given that they have lost all the players.
