Keep save after open beta has ended?

[Kane]

Can you transfer the savegame you have now in the open beta to the game when it has finally released? So I can just continue. Thanks.

Save games will not carry over into the full game
Your Open Beta save games won’t carry over into the final version of Anno 1800, so you are free to go absolutely crazy and try wild things without having to worry about long-term repercussions. You also won’t be able to update the Open Beta to the full release version, so feel free to delete the Open Beta as soon as it sends to save space on your hard disk.

We always try to give you some context and explanations for your decisions- so why can’t your save games be carried over? One key reason is the way our AI works in the game. As the Open Beta content is limited to the first three (out of five in the full game) citizen tiers, the AI will of course also be blocked from progressing any further (as to not have an unfair advantage compared to human players). This could lead to issues with the AI if you were to carry your save game over into the full game, where they would suddenly have access to tiers 4 and 5 again. Our top priority is to ensure that you will have the best possible experience playing Anno 1800 on April 16, so to avoid any issues with such scenarios, we decided against carrying over save games. Rest assured that this issue won’t appear in the full version, where there are of course no limitations on the available content (for either AI or human players).

Thanks mate. What a shame, but yeah, these guys made more bad developing decisions than they will make money.

Grow up, they made great developing decisions. Stop blaming the developer for a decision the publisher has made. It's easily one of the best anno games due to how closely they worked with the community and fixed a lot of things they messed up or did different in let's say 2205.

So honestly, just grow up with this sad blame game.

I am glad Anno is returning to its roots as a setting in the past with exploration/building. The futuristic Annos just did not work nearly as well for me.

Rofl mate how has non transferable open beta data anything to do with publisher decisions?

People just keep complaining. Now they can try the game a weekend long before release, and then it is still not enough. Know they complain about the save game. Just look up what a open beta means before you start complain again like a kid.

I thought the age gate on beta tests was supposed to prevent this kind of thing

You really are the 'dream consumer' of big companies, publishers and shareholders arent you?
