1.9 breaks saves?

[Zylathas]

I am having an important question as I am thinking of starting a new game :

Will 1.9 break the save? Would like an official dev reply on this as I still haven't heard anything about it, just people saying that it might.

They almost always say the same thing when asked: old saves should work, but no guarantees. Since no major map changes have been announced, I would expect things to work smoothly.

They are fixing bugs and reworking the disaster system, since nothing "new is added" i think no, it would no break up saved games.

As far as I know even with the disaster system it's just an interface change to show what was already going on so I'm inclined to agree with you that saves should be mostly okay.

Yeah they should be ok, on a tangent though I still have saves from 1.2 and they actually load, although I did not try to play them.

They would be awkward, as an example, in Castile just from 1.6 to 1.7 or whatever, I all the sudden had two or three uncolonized provinces in the middle of Spain, it was worse elsewhere, but that's an extreme change. Generally when they change systems your game will probably be screwed.

Depends on what you call a broken save.
