I had started an Ironman game before the update, and had played it for a while (up to 1600 or something). Now, I started EUIV today, and Steam updated it automatically. When I started the game and loaded my game (it's saved locally), it said that the save game has been started with an incompatible version of EUIV, that I might encounter problems and that saving and reloading might help. So I tried to do that. Once I got back to the game, the save game was no longer in the list. I cannot find it anymore. Ticking the show incompatible save games doesn't help.

I find this completely unacceptable. Pretty much destroys the fun from the game if you can't trust that it can save & load properly. At the very least I would've like an option to opt out of the update until I had finished my game. Has anyone else encountered this, and is there a way to recover the save game somehow?
