For anyone who receives the message "this save data was created with a newer version of the game" when trying to load someone else's DA:I save files... (And when the standard solution of "change the patch and mod-patch to 13, 14, 15/latest version, etc" doesn't do anything,) I spent hours driving myself crazy trying to figure this all out. I ended up having to change the numbers to 98 and 99. That was the only thing that worked. The "version" in the package.mft file in the Patch folder needs to read: Version 98 The "version" in the package.mft file in the Patch_ModManagerMerge folder (if you have one) needs to read: Version 99 Step-by-step instructions: 1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update 2. Open the Patch folder 3. Open the package.mft file in Notepad 4. Change the version number to Version 98, so that it looks like this: Name patch Authoritative Version 98 5. Go back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update 6. Open the Patch_ModManagerMerge folder 7. Open the package.mft file in Notepad 8. Change the version number to Version 99, so that it looks like this: Name patch Authoritative Version 99 ModManager v0.59 alpha Hope this helps somebody!! :kiss: (It seems that a new "version" is created EVERY single time you update your mods with the Mod Manager. So, if you're someone like me, who is always changing around and updating mods, your "version" number is probably pretty high. If you think you've updated your game with mods more than 100 times, you might need to go higher than the numbers I listed here. I have no idea if that will work, though.) EDIT: If the above solution doesn't work for you, jump down a few posts to my other fix.
