Saves and Migration

Saves and migration

Overhaul v2.8.0 uses separate career saves. Back up your saves before updating or importing. The importer supports older RLS career saves; stock-only careers are not eligible.

Import an older career

1. Launch the BeamNG profile containing the older RLS save.
2. Open the Overhaul profile screen and choose Load on the detected older career.
3. Read the Compatibility report, then choose Continue.
4. Under Choose what to keep, review the available keep/cash-out choices, name the copy and acknowledge the selected changes.
5. Choose Create migrated copy, review the result, then Load migrated copy.
6. Check your money, vehicles and storage before continuing your main playthrough.

Some older saves offer cash-out choices for vehicles, parts and garages. Review what will be kept, sold or quarantined before confirming. These changes apply to the copied save; the original stays untouched.

The import creates a separate career and keeps the original. It is not a reason to delete or overwrite your old save.

A save does not appear

Check the active BeamNG user folder/profile and confirm the original save is still there. Record the old Overhaul and BeamNG versions. If it remains missing, report those details with a screenshot of the profile screen and the affected session log.

Do not manually move individual vehicle or money files between careers. Owners and autosaves need to remain consistent.

Autosaves and recovery

v2.8.0 keeps four rotating autosaves and checks for valid checkpoints. Keep an external backup as well. If a load fails, preserve the save and log before experimenting; report what happened immediately before the last successful save.

The update intro

The public intro is intended to appear for returning careers unless its public-release dismissal preference was already saved. The phone-controls page is last. A missing intro alone does not establish that migration failed; report your exact build and whether you previously chose Don't show again.
