1.08 save files do not open with 1.11

[unmerged(47028)]

Before upgradig CK2 I read that 1.11 should open old save files. Maybe, I misunderstood something but 1.08 save files do not open. CK 1.11 loads the save game withou an error but immediatly sends you to the Game Over page with family statistics.

Does it mean that 1.11 is incompatible with 1.08 save files?

If it is incompatible then is any not painful way restoring the game to 1.08.


Is EU4 coverter compatible with 1.08 save files?

Very probably incompatible yes.
Assuming you have the Steam variant and have the windows file restoration (or whatever its actually called) option working, you can just right click the game folder, "properties- Restore older versions" and choose the 1.08 you had before.
Better delete the crusader kings folder with settings.txt and log folder and such stuff in user/username/mydocuments/paradox Interactive. Move or copy save files if you want to keep them.
Steam also has a Beta option, but i doubt it works with normal versions as well. As i havent got Steam i can't exactly tell.

If you got CK2 without Steam , simply reinstall and patch accordingly. The patches for the GG variant are in the according stickied thread.

That would refer to perhaps 1.10, even 1.092. Not more than that.

What you can try is opting into the 1.092 beta on Steam, and try opening the 1.08 files with that version. If they play OK, re-save them in 1.092 then opt out of the beta to get forward to 1.111c and then open them again.

Untested, I wouldn't even try it.
