Upcoming new build will likely break save games while fixing some major known issues

We will be making an update in the next few days that will include major fixes for a number of the most common blocker bugs, as well as numerous other fixes and improvements based on the feedback we have been getting on the beta. This update will likely break all existing save games and force you to start a new game. If you don’t want this to happen, open up your Steam Library, select properties on Wasteland 2, go to the Updates tab and set it to “Do not automatically update this game”. This will allow you to continue your game and update at your own convenience later. HOWEVER, if you do this, please do check the patch notes before reporting bugs and mention your version number in any bug reports you make.

Based on the beta feedback so far, here are known major game-breaking issues:

  • Agricultural Center crashes to desktop on map transition: this should be fixed in the next build
  • Saves made in Highpool after the fight with the wreckers surrounding the mortar are corrupt: we are currently working on this issue and it should be fixed in next build
  • The UI scaling does not work properly and makes text unreadable: the next build will contain more UI scaling and resizing options which should resolve these issues
  • Custom portraits are replaced by white field and related saves are corrupted: this should be fixed in the next build, in the meantime we recommend not using custom portraits
  • There is significant mouse lag: we are currently working on this and improvements should be in the next build
  • The game is not optimized: we will do several optimization passes as we progress, with each build the game should run better
  • Numerous other fixes will be in the next build, full patch notes will be published when the build goes up
