Did you ever modify the stock data files in the past?

Hell yeah!

Well that is your problem then. The patch overwrites the stock data files, so all of your custom changes were lost. Reinstalling 1.84 will most likely not make your savegames work, as they depend on modified data files which were lost... This is part of why it is always a good idea to _never_ modify the stock data files, and always work in a mod folder. The other reasons are multiplayer compatibility and ease of backups.
One thing you could try is loading the game as the Host and processing a turn. This will let SE4 know that you really want to change the data files in use. There were a few data file changes in the 1.91 patch.
edit:
As for empire files, SE4 will never allow you to load an empire file that was created with a different number of racial traits than are present in the RacialTraits.txt data file. If you added any traits, you won't be able to use your old empire files, in any Version of SE4, until you readd enough traits to compensate for the difference.
