Character level between dlc's

HELP!

I finally got GD with all dlc's this steam summer sale and started playing with the base game only due to a friend of mine not owning the full set. I then started a soldier which is now lvl 24. This morning another friend wanted to play and i had to install them dlc's due to him wanting to play a class that is not available in the base game. Now i wonder why my progress didn't make it over. After all i still only play the base game as i haven't made it to the other story places yet but my char is now at lvl 15 and progress didn't carry over. Why is that?

As far as I know, DLC characters are not backwards compatible, unless that changed in recent years. If you're saying your base game character didn't migrate correctly to base+DLC and you've cloud saving enabled, then I'd bet it might be cloud saves being out of sync.

 

The game automatically migrates your base game characters to base+DLC when you launch the game with DLC first time. It also does backups of your base game characters at this point.

 

Save location (no cloud saving): My Documents\my games\Grim Dawn\save\main

Cloud saves: Steam\userdata\some random numbers\219990\remote\save\main

Backup: __characterName

Current (DLC): _characterName
