Restarting Saves With Experimental Versions

[Rich_K]

I have run into this situation several times using various experimental versions of OR. Currently I am using X2456.

I save an activity I am running, and when I attempt to restart said activity I get a warning saying the activity is not compatible with the current version of Open Rails. How can it be incompatible with the very same version that the save was created with?

There are a couple of options:

- For a while, I believe we were saving the version information incorrectly so it wouldn't be able to establish was version the save was from.
- There have been problems restoring certain kinds of locomotive recently, such as geared diesels. In this case, the restoring code was throwing an exception which is treated as a save incompatibility even though the versions match.

Ideally, please let us know what route/activity/rolling stock is giving this problem and attach your log file with the error/warning about incompatibility.

This problem is not route or equipment specific. I have tried to resume using several different routes and activities, which by default means different equipment. I submitted a bug report using your preferred process with log file attached for my latest failed attempt.
