The issue loading issue with v1.3 on steam has been fixed (latest 1.3 update). I was able to roll back to 1.3 (by loading the beta described earlier in this thread), saving the game 1.3 format, rolled forward to the latest version of 2.0 and loading the new version of the 1.3 save that i had made. Thanks devs for that fix, i hope you work out a cleaner long-term solution to the problem that doesnt involve rolling backwards to roll forwards again. It took 2 days of downloading to fix this issue for me on my slow connection.
Is this being looked at for people not on Steam? I have 54 EE saves that were pre-1.2 that simply no longer load. I'd understand if Vanilla saves don't work, but a new patch shouldn't render old saves of the same game to be unplayable.

Here are my saves.

I'm really upset over this.
Can confirm.
I am now able to roll my game back to 1.3 on Steam, load my old save files, re-save, re-patch to 2.0, and load the new save files.
