DLC-Control and loading savegames

[FeiLing]

GKv1.0.1.705

Disabling DLC currently results in being unable to load savegames that use these DLC. Developers would probably say this works as intended, but that is not why we wanted this option. We wanted it to be able to create games more easily where people can play with us, that do not own DLCs.

I am aware that it causes a slight increase in loading time, but it's really minor. So there is no real reason to not make any savegames playable that contains DLC you own even if it is "disabled".

--> Loading a savegame should automatically load disabled DLCs which are needed and owned for this session (without actually enabling it in the options (it should stay disabled as this only matters for creating games - it being and staying disabled shouldn't affect your ability to play/load games at all).

I guess the same applies for multiplayer games. Nobody wants to run around and enable the DLCs all the time before he can load/join a (save)game and disable them again when he wants to create a new game without them.

Actually the game starts with all mods enabled by default every time, even if you ended it with them disabled. What is this? Why does the unloading and reloading take time then, when they were loaded at the gamestart anyway? How about you just tell the game to not use the DLC when it's not selected instead of loading and unloading it all the time?

That was caused by one of the patches, and only happens with older savegames. Another patch was supposed to fix it, but apparently didn't do it everywhere.
-> just begin a new game.
