Does every update still wipe progress in Spintires?

Source (a Steam review posted on 29 Oct, 2015):

...one day they [the developer] released an update and I found out my 20-something hours worth of advances had been wiped out.

Looking around in the forums, it soon became apparent that it wasn't just me nor was this the first time it happened. In fact it happened with every single update done before.

I forgot about it for some time, and came back a while later. Soon enough came another update, and down the drain those extra few hours did go.

In the wake of complaints in the forums, I remember reading an announcement by Oovee stating they would be having a meeting with the developer and would 'explain to him how important maintaining the saved game progress across updates seemed to be to the players'.

Today, about half a year later, came another update and, unsurprisingly, another wipe.
