The same has been true of custom emp files.

And what do I mean about 'game not started'? I mean by that a game that's not had a first move - just looked over map to check planets, et al.

When you try to load an older game, what error message do you get?

What you describe happens as far as I know when the advanced racial technology traits have been changed. Did you change them without creating a separate mod folder? In this case installing the patch would overwrite your changes and produce the problems you describe.
