Can't play my saved game after the new update

Originally posted by Derp In Reverse: after loading the game through steam it worked, thanks test

At the top of the patch notes there is a message about this (This is due to some changes we have made under the hood so to speak more info about that will be coming soon in the near future):

Note:
For any users who happen to use steamCMD with Empyrion & launch the game from root with EmpyrionLauncher.exe you will need to add a new line to the Empyrion.props file:
- In the Empyrion root directory create a copy of the “Empyrion_Example.props” & rename it to just “Empyrion.props”
- Open it in notepad & add this on a new line & save the file

Because automatic is not possible.

This is needed for a future feature that will be announced when the time is right
