Dedicated Server save games dont work withg new update

[SneakyWoolCloth]

When launching the new update that makes save games smaller it also destroys them here. "only on the dedicated server" Is Iron gate adressing this, we are 7 people and 5000 hours on the server and now use old stable version but i guess its just a time before the new new becomes the "old stable" one. If there wont be a fix on this i can guarantee 7 people wont come back to "iron Gate" games, 5000 hours is a lot of work just to be thrown out cause someone wanted the saves to take up less space. And no there has never been used any mods

What is IG supposed to be addressing?
You don't offer any sufficient amount of information.
I updated my modded server yesterday to v0.216.9 and the world was upgrade perfectly fine.
And it's the same for I guess ~99% of servers/people/users.

So, if you just want to complain and rant without getting help just continue keeping all information required for others to actually help you to yourself.
Like: Versions, what you tried, and what not

1. versions? Server client?
2. OS? etc.
3. Tried upgrading the world on a client instead of the server?
4. Tried restoring a backup of the world and upgrading that?

And there have been a few very similar reports in the last few days - dunno if any one of those was successfully solved but I suggest you search for them.

There is no problems when it comes to "my" local saves only in the dedicated server.
It works but when the game saves again (in the new format) it gets destroyed. Then i have to take the old backup again that has not been saved in the new patch.

Only affects the dedicated server as far as i know. When i take it back to "Old stable version" where the saves dont get smaler there is no issue

A) then stop using beta. (oh you mean normal version? Still a proper version number would be definitive instead of speculative ...)

B) Since you're mixing up what we are talking about (see "C)"): Server or Client?

C)

... and move it back to the server (THE SERVER WORLD of course).

Btw. since one needs to worm out every single bit of information out of you I've unsubscribed form this thread ...

A) Its 0.216.9 Normal, no beta, just the regular
C) Yes, transfered a copy to my computer, it loads the "old" world no problem, when i exit and go back it wont load, error loading world

Hi,
I have the same issue, it's on deticated server (spillvert.no), server has been crashing since the 0.216.9 patch(I've not had time to play for awhile so didn't see it before now). When I test it locally i see same problem as @SneakyWoolCloth. Old file which is almost twice sice as the new works, when stopping and starting, error loading world. Quess the shrink db int he patch does remove something essential for playing the game.
Error on the server is:
"//ERROR//

There is currently an issue with large Mistlands dungeons that don't convert properly from 0.215.2 to 0.216.9 (+0.217.5). Deleting them from your world fixes the load issue. Send me your old save that got automatically created before loading it to new version of the game (you will recognize it by its worldname_backup_timestamp naming format). Send me the file on Discord (macarbre). Alternatively, the fix will come one of the PTB updates or when Hildir update goes live.
