I just switched back from the playtest environment and every time I try to load the game, it crashes before I can interact with the homescreen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice, the second time even deleting the mods folder with some old mods laying around. I have sent several reports through the CrashReport but I am unsure how to fix the issue.
Per the public playtest instructions:
You have save data that is incompatible with the live build. You need to roll back to your backup files. If you did not make a backup as recommended, then you need to stay in the playtest environment.
I thought I had done that. I have a copy of the save folder. Maybe I did it wrong.
Ok, I realized I was looking in the steamapps folder not My Games. Sorry to bother. Easy fix.
Hello,
well Im experiencing the same issue and I have a fix which is bad but working: I created a new char on the on the playtest branch. It wasnt existing when my game was on the default branch. Now I tried migrating down to the basic version again and game crashes on homeshcreen right before chars are shown. When I delete that one character all is working again.
Now my question to @Zantai or someone else responsible: will this be fixed when the feature branch and basic branch are merged together? Im a software developer myself and usually this is the way to go for a release. I want to avoid trashing my char away totally as it was quiete high already…
I love your game and cant wait for Asterkarn! Keep cooking.
You should be able to add this character to your saves once v1.3 goes live.
But you might have to move components and crafting materials around…
Why should there be necessity then to move stuff around? When the update goes live then there shouldnt be any differences between the official and beta version any more. Or am I missing something?
No, you are right. While you cannot access anything you put into the components and crafting mats tabs until v1.3 goes live, you should be able to combine stuff and add more to them from your old chars then.
When v1.3 goes live, the playtest and live version will match, and your save data will then be compatible with the live build.
