New update.

Is the game broken? Do I have to start over? Can't continue playing?

Update too big.. New zone/Boss/Power/Items. Think you might have to start over like befofe with the other updates

You need a new server to access the new content.

[Einheriar]

so i can't continue my local save with the update but i need to restart campaign?

[Suzaku]

Correct.

[One_Inspire]

Great. (Now I have to play the game again. Build again. Beat the bosses again. Waste time on things I've already done. The developers are idiots and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

[Suzaku]

Could go into the server settings when making it and change some settings to make things easier, and even start with high-level gear and resources. Would give you a decent head start.

again correct

I knew it would be like that, the devs had said it. Just like the Dracula update before, but i dont complain because they gave me free content. Instead i play the game again with new weapons and abilities like a chad.

There have actually been several threads today expressing the frustration with restarts, but they seem to disappear as quickly as they come up. I'm sure this one will eventually join them. I think the restart requirement for each content update is information potential new players should have when trying to make an informed decision about their purchase, but maybe the point of hiding these threads is to keep them uninformed. Easier than addressing the issue of keeping saves forward compatible, anyway.

The game is still in an early access state. They released the game too early. I am sorry for your loss.

stop spreading lies

All I can say here is that they announced the update and that a new save would be required 2 weeks ago. If you are not paying attention to steam news, then that is on you.

If you go look at the patch notes,
https://blog.stunlock.com/v-rising-1-1-patch-notes/ (this really should be on the steam page first...)

There is a long list of tweaks and adjustments, lots of overhauled systems. The end effect is similar, but the actual mechanics changed a lot.

i wouldn't mind the restarts so much if i could set my
vamp stats and fight fight stats...

turn garlic/ silver. sun light into a minor annoyance...
lol.

maybe save a few pre fab vamp castles blue print that wouldnt place till i actually built it lol..

Should allow us to take our characters across different saves like good survival crafts
