Invalid Database Version.

A little background on how I got here. I moved my saved game data back to where it was in FHM 10. I go to import my Kraken save that I started last year. And I get this error. Any help would be appreciated

This happens on 6 of my 7 saves. The ones I used for testing the game (For those who don't know I have the privilege of getting the game early for testing so I help test the new features and in return I get the game for free) and my Kraken save. The only save that I can load is the one I just created today.

I can create saves just fine and load into them, however the saves I already had I can't load in.

The old saves from testing won't work after the 11.1.15 build. The FHM10 save should import properly, though. It does need to be on July 1 in the game, though, is it on a different date?

It is not. I had made sure my Kraken save was on July 1st.

Try deleting the one that's in your FHM11 save folder and copying it out of the FHM10 saves again, something may not have copied properly the first time. If it still gives you an invalid database message, try copying the continents.dat file from a working game into it, overwriting the one that's there; that's where the version information is, changing that will sometimes fix that error.

I didn't have a copy of seattle save inside my FHM10 file so I tried the continent thing and that fixed it.

any chance that something can be done to an FHM10, that's after July 1st, to get it to import to 11? I know in the past I got assistance to get the previous game saves to import

I prefer not to lose all the work in my current save, which is currently on mid October

Go ahead and upload it, but I'm not sure how soon we'll be able to get to it.
