The newest patch redoes and fixes a lot of things, it is a huge update that even makes the game run smoother overall. Your save files from the past still work, however you need to move them from one folder to another.
You need to go to:
C:\Users\(Your Profile Name)\AppData\Local
Use the profile name you are using on your computer right now where it says (Your Profile Name). If you try to find the folder manually it might be hidden and invisible, so you can just type it in like it is above instead to find it quicker.
First, from there you will see a folder called:
Endica VII The Dream King
Secondly, your Save Files will now be stored in a folder called:
Endica_VII_The_Dream_King
(This newer folder with underscroes will create itself if you play the new patch and try to save your game, but if it doesn't exist yet go ahead and create it.)
You will need to copy and paste all of the .ini files from the first folder "Endica VII The Dream King", into the newest folder "Endica_VII_The_Dream_King" that uses underscores.
So select the .ini files, Right Click them, Select Copy, then go to the new folder and Right Click, then Select Paste.
It's as simple as that! Sorry about the inconvenience! I hope everyone enjoys the new update!
