WOW. The last update dumped ALL my saved games....all those trying 50 turn games against AI that...well, I've got 260+ hours on this game, with the results being completely erased was updates that I can't really see the difference except in negative ways. Actually, I have 261 hours...but that last hour was just me weeping over this happening again. So soon. I don't mind resetting my options but all that progress lost and me having to start some of these grueling campaigns over AGAIN before completing them. Maybe I didn't get the memo...is this supposed to add to ambiance of a war game, the frustrations of loss over and over, even when you feel like you're winning sometimes? If THAT is the case, well done! LOL!
Truthfully? I'd just bought the whole series a short while before the latest v. 7 update ruined things. I gave it a go and was interested in the upcoming Soviet DLC...and 1/2 way through reading the pop-up, I'm informed Steam is updating the game, all my progress is lost again AND...now I'm allegedly in some sort of Beta mode?
I read from SOMEWHERE, the recommendation to just reload prior versions of the game if one is having difficulties or unsatisfactory experience. I'm not incredibly computer-saavy and am not sure I can revert to previous satisfactory versions of the game without crashing it all. That seems like a wee bit of poor advice to a paying customer actually. Try translating that type of advice to other situations for a laugh.
The rational part of me says to set this wonderful series aside for several months until the dust settles and go elsewhere for a bit. It's like I'm being herded into the arms of Panzer Corps 2 when I'm doing my LOYAL best to LOVE this game.
There. THAT being said, I love the game. The update somehow looks crisper and more defined which I noticed immediately. Sadly, I couldn't see if my tanks have sprouted barrels once again, through my tears. Will they turn to tears of joy?
I'll be thankful and surprised if my avatar on this Board isn't change to 0- Latrine Specialist.
Cheers!
