After upgrading to new version:
-I can't purchase Chinese Dragon anymore (although I have chosen red codex)
-I can't hire Hands (I know it is supposed to be mutually exclusive with slave soldiers now but it seems to default to slaves once you have it researched)

Probably string name changes/minor tree alterations. I dont know how to solve the second issue. For the first, use the tech tree viewer to identify the missing tech entries for the red dragon and add them by edit your save file to include the missing links.

You must still research it now, even with Red Codex, it's not given for free anymore.

Thanks.

What about the Slave Soldiers is there any way to fix it? Maybe by changing research to uncomplete in an unupgraded save? Am I right?

Anyone got the name for the demon Lord mission? Can't find it in the new games saved text to add to my old save for upgrading.

I upgraded from J10 to J11 and got an error message. "WARNING: This save relies on mods that are unavailable. Missing content will be removed, and it may fail to load. Continue?" Was there something I forgot to copy? I copied the UFO folder, my save games and options.cfg. I'll try openxcom.log next.

The save still loaded. Everything seems to be in order, except I have lost the ability to purchase Gals.

This was expected, dioxine has been trimming some of the included submods in the package.

Hello all!

It's been a few versions since I played X-Piratez, and I had picked up J13a on Friday last week... been having lots of fun with it. Now that J14 has just dropped, and with all the awesome goodies that entails, I just wanted to know if I can upgrade and keep playing with the same 4-day old savegames, or if I need to start out new? No big loss either way, but it would be convenient if I could!

Please let me know when you get a chance, and thanks either way!

I updated to J15, and I noticed that the behaviour of spy zeppelins changed. If your savegame has spy blimps built before J15, they will behave like in J14.

The workaround *should* be to dock the blimps and re-deploy them (not that I have tried that myself).

Upgrading to L1: No special tricks needed, just DON'T UPDATE DURING TACTICAL BATTLE.

L8: If you have an advanced campaign (>1 year) you'll get a message about being a slow a**. Please ignore it.
