Save

[Mofiros2000]

Hello, I have a question. Two weeks ago I started a new byzantine-roman campaign (on ironman) and yesterday I've heard there will be new DLC and patch for CK2. Here's my question: Will my save be incompatible when the new version will start? My friend told me that on EU IV the old saves don't work on new versions, is it the same on Crusader Kings? I'm afraid that I won't reclaim the old roman borders in three weeks :/ P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

More often that not what your friend says rings true- any patch that adds significant changes will break older saves or at the very least open them up to strange behavior and bugs. Granted there have been more minor patches such as the one that accompanied Way of Life that was basically harmless. The new patch and DLC isn't set to come out until the 25th of this month, so you do have time if you're looking start a new campaign- worst comes to worst you check the forums on Day 1 for save game compatibility and roll back to 2.5.2 via Steam Betas.

As Bernard95 mentioned, you dont HAVE to update to the new patch when it comes out. You can check the option in Steam to just stay on the 2.5.2.2 patch & keep playing your current game, then not update until you are ready.

I *think* I may have seen somewhere that the next DLC & patch might be compatible with the current version, but I'm not 100% sure. But like I said, even if it isnt you are good to keep going on the current patch for as long as you want.

Thanks for the answers, it's a relief to know what should I do if the save won't be combatible

I think there has only ever been 2 patches of CK2 that had compatibility issues and would not work. The biggest of those was RoI.

The majority of the time you are warned about these things before release and a sticky post is made. I'm pretty sure you won't see any ill effects from upgrading to the new patch.

I never had problems with a saved game. Updated to the new DLC and the game continues without problems.
