Unsupported saves found - can I go back?

International board Help & Bugs

Hi, I’ve been running v.1.5 and updated to v.1.6 to hopefully resolve a few crash issues I’ve been having. After the update, when attempting to load a saved game, I received the following error:

“Unsupported saves found. VCMI has found saved games that are no longer supported, possibly due to differences in VCMI versions”

Is there a separate update that needs to be run to carry saved games over to the latest VCMI version? The note on the github release page says saved games from 1.5 release can be loaded in 1.6.

If there isn’t a way to bring the saves into 1.6, is there a way to go back? I redownloaded 1.5 but after reinstalling, it said the HOTA mod was only available for 1.6+ and wouldn’t work.

Any ideas? I’m 4 months into a game and was so close to finishing… would really like to see it through. Thanks!

Hi. You probably have saves from 1.4 or older - this is what that message is referring to. Saves from 1.5 can still be loaded as long as you have same list of mods.

I first downloaded VCMI last November, so I would think everything wouldv’e been on 1.5, not 1.4.

Is there a place to download old versions of the HOTA mod for VCMI that would be compatible with 1.5? Seems like I need to reinstall an old version of HOTA in order to rerun Heroes on the older VCMI.

If you manually delete mods from Mods folder and install vcmi-1.5, in launcher there will be downloadable mods for 1.5 release.
