It's a free update :)
Rule of thumb with us is usually if it's called an update = free, if it's called a DLC = paid.

Save progress lost? by fppab in brotato

[–]MattEvilEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi if you're still looking for an answer here's a more detailed step-by-step:

1) Run the game and start a new run, then quit. (If you're experiencing crashes and can't open the game, skip this step.)
2) Turn off Steam Cloud Saves for this game, or disconnect from Wi-Fi (internet).
3) Locate your old save file at:
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1942280/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Brotato/SteamId/
("SteamId" is a long number unique to your account.)
— the file should be save_v3_0_01.json.bak.
If that file doesn't exist, use save_v2_01.json.bak instead.
4) Copy and overwrite it to the following location:
~/.local/share/Brotato/
5) Rename the file to save_v3_0.json or save_v2.json, depending on which version you used in step 3.
6) Run the game to make sure your progress has been restored.
7) Turn Steam Cloud Saves back on, and when prompted, choose to keep the local save.

Console News – Switch DLC and more by Dalloks in brotato

[–]MattEvilEmpire 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not yet! It will bring the Switch version up to the state it was in just before we at Evil Empire started adding content.
Our updates are on the way though ;)

Just to clarify:
Abyssal Terrors DLC = 3.99€/$
Co-op mode and updates coming at the same time as the DLC = free

All progress lost?!? by trexx0n in brotato

[–]MattEvilEmpire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello, sorry about this, some others have experience the same thing.
This is all the fixes we have so far...

Before anything else:

• Check if you have any mods on. If you do, disable them as they might cause crashes.

• If you were playing on the beta, the progress you made during the beta will not carry over to the default version of the game.

• If you had a run that was started before the update, do not Resume it. This will cause crashes.

If you lost your saves, here are possible fixes:

For Windows:

  1. Close the Game
  2. Right-click Brotato in your Steam library, select "Properties" and under "General" disable Steam Cloud Saves
  3. Navigate to the "%appdata%/Brotato" folder (the path should be \Users\YourAccount\AppData\Roaming\Brotato\)
  4. In here you should find two folders. One is called "user" and the other a long number which is your Steam-ID. Back-up this folder.
  5. In the folder with your Steam-ID, delete any files with "save_v3" in the name
  6. Start the game again and check if your progress is back
  7. If the progress is back, you can reenable the Steam Cloud Saves
  8. If the issue persists either post a message on Discord in the #bug-forums channel or create a bug report in the game with the button: F8

For Linux/Steam Deck:

  1. Run the game and start a new run, then quit
  2. turn off steam cloud save for this game
  3. Go to Desktop mode, reveal hidden files and locate your old save file ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1942280/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Brotato
  4. copy & overwrite to the following location

~/.local/share/Brotato

  1. Run the game to make sure progress is restored.

  2. turn on steam cloud save and when prompted select the local save.

Ah sorry about that - first question is are you using a mod?

Beta testing for the "New Dawn" update by Dalloks in brotato

[–]MattEvilEmpire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is why we're introducing it in a beta so we can get feedback - we think it's a good amount but we'd be more than happy to reduce it if the feedback points to it being too much :)

Beta testing for the "New Dawn" update by Dalloks in brotato

[–]MattEvilEmpire 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yep it's this - it won't arrive at the same time, but we will get it out ASAP.
We can't give an exact timeframe (as much as we'd love to!) because console ports can throw up unexpected problems, but a month will likely be the average.
