 icon Updated - map bug - can't progress (0)  
Hello!

I made the mistake of updating and not realizing that certain map icons aren't shown anymore, therefore can't be entered.

100 hours in, so beginning new isn't an option without going crazy. :)

Can a dev please help me with this? I tried everything with downgrading and all but it didn't help. I also have a cloud save, maybe that can be fixed?

Thanks!

The only thing I can help you with is doing back the downgrade.
Then Export your player file.
Then do the upgrade again.
Then delete your player file.
And then import your (downgraded) player file.

This worked for me

Finally, thank you!

The last times I downgraded I didn't have my player profile anymore. Now I did. Followed the rest and it's fixed!

Phew...:thumbsup

Hi, do you mean downgrade back to 5.0?, its not on the downloads page anymore for mac. 5.0 crashed for me a few weeks ago so i deleted it and got the 5.1, but now i need to go back to previous levels which aren't displayed on the map, and i really can't see me starting over, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

This isn't working for me. I downgraded to 5.0.0.5923, exported, upgraded to 5.0.1.6060, deleted, imported. Older Holding Vats does show up now, but the lower token on each map screen to navigate the map south is replaced by the top of Beethro's letter, the Archivist HQ is missing entirely, the graphic for the Ore Refinery has been replaced by the graphic for the Lonely Camp amongst other things. What else can I do? This is very disappointing.

If you (mattw0520) send me your save file somehow (upload somewhere, and PM me the link, maybe?), I'll have a look at it. No guarantees, but I think I should be able to help.

After getting desperate trying to fix this problem myself (tried downgrading, exporting, then upgraded and importing again after deleting all my save files, etc) I gave my save file to Moo and he got it fixed within an hour, so I really thank him for his help :)
