Issue with modded server and save compatibility after update

[rocky lance]

Having the same isse with MP. Would love an answer to this

[opaque crypt]

old saves arent compatible with B42.16

[rocky lance]

Yea but the thing is that it seems like you can't revert it

[opaque crypt]

try to use a backup save?

[rocky lance]

I myself accidentally launched the game without noticing the update and when I tried reverting back to .15 it doesn't let me play it

[rocky lance]

I probably don't have one

[opaque crypt]

by default the game creates 5 backup saves at launch i think

check your Zomboid/backups/startup folder

[rocky lance]

Alright I'll make sure to check it

[opaque crypt]

you can increase this number... i suggest doing so or occasionally create a manual backup of your save

[rocky lance]

There seems to be one from yesterday

I've got one which is still on 42.16 but it says that the save itself is on world version 244

Shouls I use the .15 one or the .16 with world version 244?

[opaque crypt]

if youre playing on 42.15 use the most recent version of that build... i dont think it will revert the converted save

[rocky lance]

Alright and one more thing. Where am I supposed to put that file into?

[opaque crypt]

Zomboid/Saves/yourgamemode... remove the corrupted save and replace it with the backup save. just be sure you unzip it first

[rocky lance]

Alright put the file in and unzip it got it. Thanks dude you're a lifesaver

[opaque crypt]

remove the corrupted save

unzip the backup

replace the old save

i suggest keeping a copy of the backup save you know works, just in case

[opaque crypt]

all good

[rocky lance]

Works well. Thanks you saved our MP playthrough!

[rocky lance]

One more thing. I kinda made an useless backup which is around 4gb and I'm wondering where I can find it so that I can delete it

[opaque crypt]

when you "made" it where did you save it to?

[rocky lance]

That's the thing I don't remember😭

So it doesn't get redirected to a zomboid folder?

If so I might have some ideas where to look for it

[opaque crypt]

could still be in your backup folder... it would be the only one in there that is unzipped

[rocky lance]

Couldn't find it there. Still thanks I'll look through my downloads

[opaque crypt]

well, you didnt download it, you copied it right?
at least it will be one of the most recently modified folder on your pc... where ever it is lol

desktop maybe?

[opaque crypt]

you could try to exttract it again and see where the default path leads...
