I have this problem too. Also the hashes for the game don't match. The launcher says "8ad5" (which is correct and what 1.15.1 was) while main screen in game says "cb12". I'm running no mods, and the exact same DLC as before. But it will not let me continue my Ironman run - and I was so very close to the Basileus archievement as Byzantium so that makes me VERY sad!
I have tried verifying files, and I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling EU4 completely - same result.
I've downgraded to 1.15.1 as described without trying to play in 1.16. I'll wait before trying to load or play any game while this ironman issue is looked at. I've got a couple of big games on the go for achievements and I really don't want to lose them if at all possible.
What issue? You cannot play in 1.16.2 but should be fine to continue in 1.15.1. Copy the save to another location if you want to be extra cautious.
The issue described in the post just above mine.... and I thought the whole point about ironman games was you couldn't tamper with them or make copies otherwise you could just revert to an old one if you took a bad turn?
The post above yours suggests a problem with mods. If you're not running any mods then you should be fine. As for copying the save, that should help if your game gets corrupted in some way but I've never tried it.
They say they're running no mods. I'd rather wait a few days to be sure than load an ironman save that I've been playing for months and break it. 
This is some major bullshit. Savegames made incompatible across one singular update?
I had not heard about this beforehand and now my ruined savegames are saved in 1.16.1 when I closed the game.
I guess the lesson is to turn off auto updates on Paradox games. Fool me once...

EU4 has pretty much always exhibited odd (even outright broken) behaviour when loading old saves in new major updates, even when the map didn't change. The map changed quite a lot in 1.16.
People keep saying that but 1.8 had the greatest map changes along with many others and saves worked fine with the only weirdness of note being a few CN provinces scattered in Europe/Africa.
And it might have been because of luck or not paying enough attention but I began playing in 1.4 and it wasn't until 1.10(or 1.9, not sure now) that saves getting broken first came up.
Hello,
I have a problem I have not solved.
I changed from 1.16 to 1.15 without any problem but, now, I know not to return to 1.16. Simply does not leave me that option on the BETA tab:

Could you help me?
Thanks
