Hello there!
I just started playing this game and I met Cypres who proposed me to skip early chapters if I already went through them and was reset after a game update.
Then I think I should tell you that there is a much simplier way to continue a saved game after an update.
We just have to copy our saves from the previous version folder of the game and paste it into the new version folder and that's it, all of our saves are now present in the new version of the game and we can continue from where we left before the update.
Easy, no? ;-)
