elliotbay said: the first time you load Dick, when you go to start a new game, there's a warning that your old save files are not guaranteed to be compatible. If you start the game with "Resume" from the launcher (the faster way), there is no such warning. It seems like if the save files aren't going to be compatible, maybe you should let us know when loading the save file? Or at the very least before overwriting the save file.
We completely agree, this was a definite oversight in this case. I've raised this exact issue with the devs and it should not ever happen again.

Unfortunately that does not help you here, because loading a 2.8.x save under 3.0 updates it permanently - any negative effects are embedded in the save file now. Sorry about that! I don't suppose you happen to have kept a save from 2.8.x , from before 3.0 came out?

Not so far as I know, but you might ask over in the User Mods forum, they would have faced such issues before I am sure.
