[color=#3366ff]We highly recommend you start a new save file in this month’s update, the Survival build (1.1.6.2.e8412a5). Not only will this allow you to go through the Opening Game Experience but you’ll also gain access to a lot of new content, as well as old storylines which have been heavily tweaked recently (such as those at Traitor’s Wood, Titania and Polmear & Plenty’s Inconceivable Circus).

[color=#3366ff]Once we release the Commander update (in December) we will no longer be supporting save files older than those created in the Survival build. If you do wish to keep your existing save game however, then all you’ll need to do is make sure you load the save file up and save it in the Survival build (either undock and redock to save or open the main menu from within the game (Esc) and select Quit).

[color=#3366ff]We do appreciate that a number of you have already sunk many hours into your current captain and may feel reluctant to start a brand new game. The whole purpose of Early Access has been to give us feedback and to help us find issues, and throughout that time there have been a number of bugs and content changes that might have left your qualities in unusual states. We’ve always done our best to manually fix save files for affected players when they report issues to us, but now that we are coming closer to launch we will be unable to do so for old save games and we recommend you start anew in tomorrow’s update.
