Some time ago I have installed MM678_Merged_2021_06_03, MM678_Patch_2021_07_05 and mmmerge-comm files on the top of a GOG version of Might and Magic VIII
How can I update it without breaking my savegames?
Should I simply copy files from Latest Merge pack 2022-04-08 or since I am using mmmerge-comm version, I must use Latest pack issued by Rodril v. 2022-02-15 and Comm / Community branch (updated to pack 2022-02-15) ?
Quote from the instruction - If you want Community features, use branch comm (not updated; requires old pack 2022-02-15). So, in order to use the latest updates, I should change the branch from mmmerge-comm to something else, is it possible without reinstalling the whole mod and losing game progress?
How can I correctly update MMMerge installation?
Re: How can I correctly update MMMerge installation?
I would advise finishing a savegame first before updating.
Re: How can I correctly update MMMerge installation?
Savegames are forward-compatible: you can use savegames from Base or Comm in Revamp, but not vice versa. (Strictly speaking, savegames are forward-convertable since they are converted during load.)
Re: How can I correctly update MMMerge installation?
It works fine with the english version, however there are some problems with localizations. For example, with the Russian pack I get the following errors while loading saves (or starting a new game):

Re: How can I correctly update MMMerge installation?
Translations become incompatible when new content is added. I'll think what can be done to semi-automate their update later.
