Versions and Save Files
« on: August 21, 2010, 05:38:18 pm »
I realized that I'm only on version .31.08 instead of .10.  Can I use the file I have for .08, or do I have to start a brand new fort once I get the most recent version?

Within .31.xx it is POSSIBLE that saves will be compatible.  Might not though.

I've been wondering the exact same thing. If it's possible, has anyone actually tried to use one of their older save files with a newer version of DF? hmmm... I would try it out myself.. but I don't exactly know where and how to move over my save files  ::)

All 31.xx save files are forward-compatible.   Files from earlier versions such as 40d are not compatible with 31.xx.
