Please note that, due to the significant changes made in this update, we've run into another (this time, smaller) issue when it comes to your save files. While post-mission save files will be still be compatible, those made during a mission will not. Just like last time, you'll still be able to access the previous version through a separate branch, to tie up any loose deals.
