BtS installed, old games not working
I instaled BtS last night and the vanilla PBEM games are not working.
I guess there is a known fix to this? Is a dual install the only workaround?

Did you try to load them with BtS or vanilla? If vanilla, what goes wrong? Perhaps the last vanilla version is incompatible with the previous.

BTS automatically patches vanilla to 1.74. If your previous saves were with older version, they might be unreadable. If this is the case for PBEMs, you need to ask a game admin to convert or a player who has an admin password. For single-player games, multiple install might be required for games especially with locked modified assets.

I allready had 1.74 installed.
Since things were not working, I re-instaled it afterwards. It did not helped. I have 2 PBEMS not working, One I started with Failed Reality with the 1.74 Patch and the Civ4 ISDG. On both games I have: "The save file you have selected is protected to make sure that the assets in you mod folder have not been changed" I loaded a couple of single player games I had and they work fine. Edit: Here is a file that does not work. (Don't mind the password, I don't event get to that point.) Also change extention.

I get that whenever I try to load a GOTM save. I didn't try further than that though.
