Master of Magic: How to play with older save games

The new update for the game means that older save games will no longer work.

But don’t worry, there is a solution!

Steam
You can use the legacy Steam Branch to play those save games. To access the legacy branch, right click Master of Magic in your steam library list, select Properties, then select Betas. In the Beta Participation section, choose "legacy - v1.06.45' in the drop down menu. This will install the legacy build that will allow you to continue with your save games.

Slitherine
we have a link for the PC Standalone version of the older build.

GoG
Users can revert to an older version on their GoG interface.

Thank you for your attention

I would like to point out that GOG cannot (or does not want to?) make the legacy version available. I report part of the conversation I had with GOG support.

Hello,
I'm afraid that this version is no longer supported and therefore not available. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

The rollback feature in GOG GALAXY does not allow you to go back to v.1.06.45, but only to versions of the 1.08.xx series (see attachment), so this solution does not solve my problem! I note that on the Slitherine website, the problem is discussed very clearly:

However, I repeat, the solution for GOG DOES NOT WORK!
I demand that this GOG shortage be addressed and resolved!
I'm waiting for news, hopefully positive!
Thank you
