Please Note: Some changes may not be applied to current save files. Full patch experience is guaranteed upon starting a new session.

Thats normal in strategy games, every Paradox game is like that, new patch - you need to start new campaign or do not update.

 

[Mownoc]

Nah, that's nothing like the outlaws situation. You can play your old saves fine, they just might not have all the changes.

Outlaws it was literally wipe your save or you're probably going to run into game breaking progression bugs that will stop you from finishing the game.

 

[nowhat]

You know what other game did this? Baldur's Gate 3! If you buy early access, you are essentially a beta tester. This comes with some caveats.

 

[SJRB]

Should come with a "thank you for giving us money to test our game" note.

I don't think Paradox is like that? Maybe if you use mods? Granted my only Paradox experience is CK2, CK3, Stellaris and City Skylines.

People who pay for early access deserve to get scammed.

 

[SportsFan581]

This is the dumbest trend I've seen. Great way to discourage buyers from spending money on the early access, seems completely counter intuitive.

 

[adamsapple]

Unless Frostpunk has progress breaking bugs, it's not the same thing.

 

[Duchess]

Aye. You're basically paying to beta test an unfinished version of the game.

I'll stick to waiting at least 3 months before picking up a new game.

 

[StereoVsn]

People should really stop pre-ordering games or paying for Early access. At this point if you are still doing this, well, it's on you.

BG3 was early access, Frostpunk is advanced access to a "finished" game

That was only on PS5 though. PC and Xbox didn't have to wipe saves.

This. The patch didn't pass certification on time, probably Sony's fault.
