Some folks were inquiring about why the test branch versions 4.54 <-> 4.48 are incompatible with the new version 4.59+
The test branch versions had a bug in how they saved some data which made it incompatible with the new Beta 2 (v4.59+) update.
While we could have worked around this, it meant additional time spent fixing something that would only be of limited use. So instead we opted to leave a test branch with 4.58 for those with test games they want to continue playing before moving to the new version.

Re: Why are saves from v4.58 unable to play on v4.59+
Just wondering is there any way to disable the ability to load old saves then, as I had a bad crash that I had to restart from after accidentally loading an old save. I went through and manually deleted the old saves. I didn't load from the Load screen just hit continue then stuck me on a loading screen that I couldn't even force a shut down of the program from ctr alt del.

Save games between 4.54 and 4.58 can no longer be loaded (in the latest update: 4.61), though older save games should be compatible and loadable.FrozenFallout wrote:Just wondering is there any way to disable the ability to load old saves then, as I had a bad crash that I had to restart from after accidentally loading an old save.

Do you happen to recall if your crash game version was between (inclusive) 4.54 and 4.58?

The game I tried to load would have been a 4.58 game when it crashed and was via the continue button but looks like the update fixed using continue to load an old game that is not compatible.
