new patch = crashing

The wording of the quote about 1.0 and 1.0.1 is misleading then, but I'm sure you know what you are saying

I'm sorry but I really don't understand your directions when you say: "reinstall the game as it was before the update?" Do you mean without the patch? If so I'm afraid I cannot, Steam does not offer that option.

Also I have not been able to see any way to have multiple saves, am I completely missing some way to save my game? Because you refer to picking an earlier save but as far as I am aware I get one auto-save that the game chooses to save. How am I meant to pick a save game?

If I can get your method to work I will but this all sounds as if the patch has broken my old save and I will have to start a new game. I'm not happy about this but if there is nothing else I can do then I will do it of course.

@Jens, which support article? If it was meant to come with the patch then steam didn't show it to me.

So it sounds like the incompatibility issue but does this mean that every time the game gets patched my previous save games will be broken?

I suppose it could be corrupted but I have no idea why it would suddenly be corrupted when it worked fine a couple of days before the patch and then after the patch was installed the save game was broken.
