Greetings, fellow leaders!
We believe we have been able to identify the cause and fix the pesky bug causing save games to become corrupted. This will unfortunately not recover the non-functioning saves, and as with any update to Realpolitiks 3, we cannot guarantee it will be compatible with older saves at all.
Therefore, we have decided to put the updated version into a Beta version right now, so that those who want to try it out, can, and those who want to continue their current saved games, can do so without disturbance.
To access the updated version, head to your Steam Library, right-click Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond, left-click Properties, left-click Betas and from the drop-down menu select the option "beta - Upcoming Patch". Your game will then update and you can start playing.
Please let us know if you encounter the save corrupting bug in the Beta version, or if it's smooth sailing for you. The best way to do that is by joining the "Realpolitiks HQ" Discord server, but of course, feel free to just comment on this announcement, or come to the Steam Discussions, we read your posts everywhere!
And if you come across any bug or technical issue, when reporting it be sure to describe the problem in detail, and include your save file and log file, which you can find here: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Jujubee\RP3
(Simply archive all the contents of the folder and upload it to gdrive, wetransfer or any other file sharing service, and send us the link).
Happy Strategizing!
