INFORMATION ABOUT SAVE FILES:
_____________________________
Please note, if you have any current or old saved data stored then the ongoing build updates will not necessarily translate accurately to your save files, particularly with v.039. It's a little hit and miss - some features will apply to an older save and some will not. In most circumstances, in order for the changes to take effect it may be better to begin a new game and /or save file to ensure that the latest fixes are applied accurately. Apologies for this.
