Since the SS pre-patched version has been posted here saves don't work and seems to be lots of problems with images.
I wonder why it is so difficult to keep save files working, last save is November, gives an error and i have to start from the beginning...
When the devs split the Patreon/SubScribestar they could have kept the saves compatible but apparently didn't.Except for the error in loading the previous auto save:
edit: I did copy the save files.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Looks like we are going to have to start a new game. Which, to me, does not make sense this late in the development of this game.
The Old Saves Bugfix in the OP might allow you to load old saves from Oct./Nov. without having to replay.
On Windows RenPy creates saves both in the User directory (which the devs irrationally changed) and in game/saves.The saves directory and the game install directory are always two different things, even on Winders.
RenPy will show saves from both locations, the newer version takes priority if there are duplicates for the same slot.
So as Walter Victor suggests, in this case where the User directory saves 'disappear', users who still have the game/saves folder won't have a problem as the game will display those.
Whether saves from different versions of the game work or not is a different problem.
