Am I the only one less worried about “the fixes” but more worried about what’s next on the nerf list?
They gave us power in Age of Sorcery and now they removed a lot of it again… like the roll perk…
No clearly you don’t. You’re basing your opinion on something you’ve done on private instances of the game and an app design to be backward compatible.
If you know how to roll back Conan please do, for yourself, on your server, then get back to us and tell us how well that worked. I mean you did it for all those other games you aught to be able to do it for Conan, right?
It’s already been done.
Was it a roll back or a reinstall of an older game build, and how well did that go when loading your present game save?
It worked fine. Mod for previous version of game.
There you go @Macdallan Roll your private server back.
What’s the difference?
You can roll back the save game only (which is the SQLite database)
You can roll back the installation (assemblies (aka DLL + EXE), assets etc.)
You can roll back user configuration (INI files)
I am pretty sure if you take your current save game and roll back the installation and user configuration to the game version from 2018 release, it would work just fine. Of course you would lose some items like Bazaar and DLC stuff, but the game would be functional.
Because updates usually do not remove anything for compatibility reasons. A roll back will not work in one case, which is where you had an update from one version to another that had a serious rework of the save game’s structure. Then the save game will not work.
If you have missing dependencies, you will have to roll back these as well (which btw most of the time also have backwards compatibility). Since everything is cooked into Conan and the Visual C++ Runtime which is used by Conan never changed, it’s pretty simple and straightforward for Conan.

I find that really hard to believe.
It worked. The game just loaded fine.
I had to create a new character though. Because since the introduction of FLS, it stores the FuncomID rather than the SteamID inside the database and thus could not find the current character. This is what I meant with “savegame structure changes”.
As you can see, all the DLC stuff disappeared and the containers dropped their contents as lootbags.
Does it makes sense to roll the game back to 2018? Absolutely not.
But previous patch seems reasonable.

It seems that those who are interested in rolling back have the option to do so themselves. The rest of us can play the current game as we wish.
Any attempt to roll the game back from this point forward is just an attempt to get those of us who don’t want to rollback to be rolledback simply because they don’t want us to move forward. Well I don’t want to play with rollbackers, so I’m going to continue to update.

While the still long list of things done “for players” is not all that long, the list of changes done to the game shown in terms of specific changes to specific systems of the game is even larger.
Saying all that should be rolled back because less than 10% of the items do not worked out well is a little extreme (to be nice and not say the other word that comes to mind).
It is far easier to fix the things than to roll back everything, even if you mean “last patch”.
BTW, have you head about “ad absurdum” ? That is when you get an argument of a person and makes it insane by changing its meant aim to an absurd scope.

It’s okay if you don’t understand it, DeaconElie_2.
Understanding and not agreeing it to be a good thing isn’t the same.
As pointed out whether it can or can’t be done, no matter how horrible a disaster it may be or how much some may or not lose, it simply is not the best move for the game in multiple ways.
Which you seem incapable or acknowledging.
I understand that what you ask will never happen.
You want the game to go back to how it was previously, back to before the Ages started.
I have nothing against that wish, even if I would prefer them to simply fix the bugs.
What I am telling you is that your expectations are completely unrealistic in that regard. And… that’s not a roll back.

No, they aren’t. CD Project Red did it, so Funcom can do it.
CDPR did what? They fixed the game while releasing A LOT of new content, if you are talking about Cyberpunk.
Besides, CE is a live service game. Cyberpunk isn’t, @Macdallan .
Uninstall Funcom games and install CDPR games instead. You fix your own issues.
Its ok to get to the point that you can say, “I don’t like this game,” “I don’t like this company,” and “I don’t wish to deal with this anymore.” And then move on. You’re not going to be judged for it. In fact it will garner a lot more respect that you can make such a definitive decision.
I can just see some kid stamp their foot, cross their arms, and stick their bottom lip way out saying that
If you don’t know, you don’t say.
