Robette: so I revert to 1.06 now to see if it works again.
cybes: I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't see how to do that short of uninstalling the entire game, and reinstalling with 1.0 offline installer (which I don't have). iow: My game is current f'd.
I have so far been pretty tolerant of the number of obvious bugs and omissions in this game, but this one is really trying my patience.
In GOG Galaxy you can deactivate automatic updates for individual games and then select a version number you want to run. You can revert to 1.06 this way, but at a glance, it looks like that makes for a 50GB download.
I have also been pretty tolerant with the bugs, also because the game runs pretty good for me (zero crashes, few minor bugs like someone clipping through a wall). However, this one just halted my run.
I recently became a bit more thorough in backing up some things and actually got all my offline installers on an external harddrive. Long story short, I got the 1.06 offline installer on that harddrive. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled the 1.06 from it (to avoid that huge download). Now it runs completely fine again, I could take the call and all was good...
I think, one savegame from the 1.1 version I couldn't load in 1.06, but I also had a bunch of savegames that were still from 1.06, which worked just fine.
