Would like to finish my game before update...

[Hade]

Tried to roll back to previous version before this update. Nope, crashes every time. Not really interested in starting over again. Already spent a couple of days on that game..... sux that when an update comes out you MUST update to play the game again.

U dont -_- there beta option on steam where u can choose version you play

Did you immediately roll back to the previous update, or did you launch your save in the new version first?

Mods?

[Hade]

I rolled back after it updated. It didn't work. I just get constant crashes.

"Only update when launched" -> ask someone to check for you whether the update bricks saves -> if yes, go to beta for until you finish the game in question.

Today's update doesn't brick saves.

Well sucks if it crashes, but the save itself seems intact.

[EleventhStar]

when does it crash? before you get to the main menu or during gameplay?

disable as many mods as you can, anything that isn't required for your in-progress game.

that won't save you if your old mods are updated. (bit fast for that to have already happened for big mods though.)

What would be the point of playing my saved game without the mods I have installed?

stupidity strikes again...

1) noone is forcing you to update the game
2) you can just pick the version/patch you want from steam properties

so what exactly is your problem here huh?

some mods are not required anymore after the game has started. e.g. different galaxy sizes and stuff like that.

just disable everything you think isn't required and maybe your game will work again.

(but even then, unless you take more advanced measure you are still on borrowed time until those mods update too.)

I’m going to spell it very slowly alright.

The game works.
The update did not break your save.
The mods you are using broke your save.
That happened because those mods (one or more of them) are now in conflict with something that was changed in the update.

You can either wait until the mods are updated themselves (with no guarantee the save will work) or start a new game. Technically, if you saved the mod content in a backup folder on your pc instead of just subscribing to them on steam you could play by simply reverting to a previous version.

...expecting community mods to work on patchday...

kinda the opposite. surprised mods are updated so fast that it bricks an rolled back game just a few hours after the patch.

Do you not know how to read?
I went back to a earlier version but that didn't work.
Steam forces updates, you can't play any game unless it's sync'd up. You have to update it and then roll back. How do you not know this?

If I could disable updates to all games I would. But there is no option for that.
