Version 2.2.0 is now up on the pre-release branch and will soon take over the main version.
Steam Achievement Changes
Steam Achievements are already updated.
There are 5 new achievements for the new Shop and Garage mechanics. They are not be doable in 1.4.4
3 achievements related to the scrapped upgrades system have been removed.
New Save Location
Old saves will not appear when starting 2.2.0 after updating from 1.4.4
Update 2.1.6 introduced cross-platform Steam cloud saves. Part of implementing them required moving the saves folder. When 2.2.0 goes live, saves from 1.4.4 will have to be copied to the new folder. A guide on the topic will be posted before release.
