Map Version cannot be loaded

Post by AssemblyFaulty »

I have been playing the game some time ago. Today I had some time to continue my old game. Sadly I can not load the old Game. The error I get is the following:

Map version 0.16.51-0 cannot be loaded because it is lower than the minimum input version (0.18.0-0).

Is there a way to make this work again?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Do you know if the Demo version will be enough to do this? I have bought the game via steam, and I can not seam to find a way to download an old version there.
