Okay, I quit playing for an hour and when I returned, the savegame was not listed. Check the forum and see that there is a new patch, and of course it was applied automatically.
So... I follow the directions from Tuesday (which never worked for me and wrecked that game, too) and go to properties=>betas... and I don't even see 1.24 listed there. So it's yet another case of "start all over"?
I'm posting partly in case I am doing this wrong and someone will point me in the right direction.
And, if not, I gotta vent. Am I really so unique in getting attached to a particular game? I mean, I know that a lot of advanced players kind of jump around among various challenging game setups and have completed so many games that no particular one is all that big a deal. But there have to be other people who start a game and immerse themselves in that one nation's story through the years, and no more want to lose the savegame than you'd want a half finished novel permanently destroyed.
None of this is meant to disrespect developers who fix problems. I mean, I don't want another Firaxis who took a year and a half to fix their religious overlay map. It seems to me that Steam is the central problem. There really ought to be a way to say, "Leave my GD game alone, I'll update if and when I want to."
For me, this comes close to a gamebreaking problem. Not only is it hard start over, but I'm now figuring, hey, good chance a new start will just lead to the same problem again.
