2.3.1 saves in 2.4?
« on: April 16, 2012, 01:02:49 am »
First post and it's a begging letter - sorry folks!

The downloads page seems to suggest that I can use my 2.3.1 saved campaign with the 2.4 release. However, when I install 2.4 (in the same directory), it says the save is there, but doesn't load it. I copied over the save, since the files in the save directory looked to be more recent (yes, I backed the old one up), and it still didn't load...

Is it possible to use 2.3.1 saves in  2.4? I have a pretty good, advanced campaign saved, and I'd hate to lose Rolf Harris as a 90%+ shot with a Grenade Launcher... 8)

You've got the suggestion wrong. It suggested to start playing 2.4 instead of 2.3.1. I make the text a bit more clear.

Fair enough, I can get the early game right this time!

I'll miss Rolf though...

As the 3-round-burst-mode was removed from the grenade launcher anyway in 2.5-dev, maybe he just decided it is time to retire ?

Oh... it's still in 2.4 - and the new gang are shaping up well.
