Spot quests in a save that could never have happened and fix the harmless ones

A save can say a quest is finished while the quest before it never started. Sometimes that is damage, sometimes a normal result of your own update. This entry shows how to tell the two apart so the game neither locks players out nor wipes honest progress.

Why this works

A save is a record of what the player earned, so progress is never taken away to make the data tidy. Finished work stays finished, while a quest still under way that is now blocked goes back to waiting. The cause decides the fix: your own update is not the player's fault.

When not to use it

Skip it when quests have no order, or when your game is short enough that a new version can simply start everyone over. If you do not know what the quests need from each other yet, write that down first, because a check cannot guess it.
