I can't play my old saves!

[unmerged(35978)]

I don't know if this the right place to post it, but I thought it was the best.

I have the Beta patch June 3rd (or something like that), and I have the "title fix" by Divine Shadow, and the Inherritance fix. I've also changed somethings in world_names.csv, some in db and nearly all the province files.

But when I should I start an old saved game, which I saved before I installed the Beta patch, it crashes after one day. What's wrong?

I really need help with this.

1.04a (or previous) saves aren't really compatible with betas.

But they will work when the new version comes, right?
Or maybe that's a stupid question ...

No they won't work either with any new official patch.

To much is changed to have a compatiable saved game.

loading and saving

I have installed the game basics without updates and I can't load any game. I start a game, after some days I save it, and then I can't load it in the start menu game nor in the console! In fact, I see my saved game, but when I click it, I can't start. Only start from zero... Anyone can tell me what am I doing wrong??

Have you at least updated the game to 104a ?

In the 1.00 version there were some saved game bugs, which made it almost impossible to play.

What?
This is an outrage, or almost ... I'm a bit upset!
(I'm just kidding)

But don't they realize how many saved games I have which I haven't completed? Of course they don't, but still. And there won't be any possibilities to do it in the future either, right? I'm disappointed, but hey, what should I do? I can't do anything, so ...
I can of course play the 1.04a version, but it isn't really a great option.

I'm now calm, because, it do work.
You said that it's "too much changed" to make it work.
So I compared two of my save files, one from 1.04a and one from the June beta patch. I was of course looking for differences, and I didn't found any in the first part, not the characters, the titles or the countries. But I found one difference, the global data, more precisely the "crusade" line. In the 1.04a there was no "ended =" or "target =", of course (because there were no target in 1.04a), something that there was in the Beta save file. So, I added these words, and said "ended = no" and "target = 774(Jerusalem)", and it worked. So I think it'll work with future versions too, if you just change your old save files like this. Haven't you thought of this, or is it still not going to work, even if you do this, in the new version?
