Before updating or troubleshooting an old save, identify what you mean by 'progress.' The Update 1.3 notice says mid-mission checkpoint saves, including autosaves, from 1.22 and earlier are incompatible and the mission must be restarted. It separately says campaign progression, persistent fleet data, War Games progression, and settings/preferences remain compatible. Preserve the old file and plan to restart only the affected mission; do not equate a visible checkpoint with a lost campaign unlock.
