Cant load save file after patch

[[CDN]Steel_Ice]

I have a modded game sav from the previous Version. The mods i was running were just the EDF shipset and some custom components that i put together myself (with borrowed pictures). To install the patch i needed to reinstall the org SEIV gold Version from the cd, which I did. After that i installed the patch and did a test run, now i dont actually recall completely but im pretty sure i loaded a save file and it worked, however the custom components werent there so the components on my ships were messed up. So i whent and added back all my components into the data file, and after I finished I ran the game again, but now it gives me a "cannot load (file path).gam" error if I try to load any of my old saves. I rather go back to 1.84 if I have to rather then lose my saves because I rather liked how they were going. But if I could get it to work of course i would much rather play the latest Version. The game is turnbased(not simo) and only versus comps. Please help...
