The saves directory and the game install directory are always two different things, even on Winders. The only thing it did for me having the old version lying around was finding out in the options.rpy file in there that the game save folder was something totally different from what I expected. I think this is the first time I've seen a game author change even the save folder name in order to escape from the Taboo police.
I believe there are two solutions for this. The simplest is to save your own save directory from the previous download and copy it into the newest game directory download. If you do that, it doesn't make any difference whether your download is from Patreon or from SubscribeStar.
Of course, that doesn't help anyone who deleted their previous work.
So, if you are now working with the pre-patched version (which is from SubscribeStar), and don't have previous saves, [for Windows] go out to C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Proj6-1532454941 and copy the contents into your new game\save directory. That should prevent you from starting from the beginning.
