Cannot load saved game in updated version?

[lauchunho]

Hello all, I have been playing my game in v27 and just downloaded v28. I named it as Caveman2Cosmos (v28) and loaded it and then loaded the saved game. It jumped back to desktop directly. And the saved game still worked fine when I loaded it under v27.

Did I do anything wrong about the loading stuff or it is not compatible between v27 and v28? Thanks all.

That wasn't quite as descriptive as I'd have hoped BUT to maintain the compatibility with a previous save, you simply have to make sure the mod file is named exactly as it was when the savegame was established, which is why I never rename the mod file between versions. I just keep it as 'Caveman2Cosmos' and that's it. Otherwise it IS compatible between versions. You should have to do a recalculation when the game starts - just say yes to the popup that asks if you wish to do so.

Well, for Civ Caveman2Cosmos is a different mod as Caveman2Cosmos(v27) or Caveman2Cosmos(v28).

If you want to continue your game, save your "old" C2Cfolder and rename the most recent one to the name it had before, my guess would be Caveman2Cosmos(v27).

Thanks all I finally get it. And seems like I need to first start a new game in order to clear the game engine.

By the way, a minor thing is after re-calculation, the game is now at AD38000 instead of 900BC before re-calculating

Did you use a pre-generated scenario? That wouldn't even make sense, that sounds the V23-24 transition stuff. Because scenarios store that data in the file, and don't use the default start date normal games use.
