"this save data was created with a newer version of the game."

Though this thread is two years old now, several people have confirmed Threepsie's suggestion works, so I'm marking it as the solution.

@Threepsie Thank you! it was so easy, and worked great! I still have fps issues that I didn't have before. (this fix didn't give me fps issues, something else is causing that) but hopefully that'll be easy to fix as well. Thanks again!

Tried this in 2021, Was at version 12 had to move up to version 16 but it worked! :D

Tried this today. File or path doesnt exist.

Lucky me I had an automatic checkpoint seconds before my manual savegame. Loaded that without issue and continued to play.

I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.
