Thanks to your stup*d " Old games preservation program ", I got a Morrowind update which scr**d all of my saves. After trying to load a saved game, I got a warning that a new version had been installed, and my saved games might have errors. After I uninstalled the game, I got a message telling me if I wanted to delete my saved games, I clicked " yes ". THank God, I hadn 't advanced much into the game.

You can turn off auto updates in Galaxy. Might be an idea to prevent this happening again as GOG are updating a lot of games right now.

EDIT: I don't know where this setting is though as I don't use Galaxy, I just rely on my offline installers.

You should be able to roll it back too, I think.

Or at least, I just went in and stopped the auto update.

So in Galaxy, I went to Morrowind, then clicked the two parallel slidey bar icon. From there, I clicked Manage Installation and Configure.

Then I unticked Auto Updates. Below it, there were two versions listed--the one I was at (as it had not yet updated) and the new GOG patch.
Does anyone know what this "patch" does, and if the download version is affected, too? It has definitely nothing to do with Morrowind as a game (or has the version number changed)? Galaxy-only?

At any rate, I'd calm down. If the "patch" doesn't work, it's likely to be fixed soon. And I wouldn't delete any savegames or even uninstall - definitely not as a reaction to a warning.that something "might" be wrong. That the player is informed of new versions is not a bad thing per se - not all updates are savegame-compatible.
