Save games not being found? Steam

[Hypatian]

Over on the Steam forums, people are reporting that they can load pre-1.7 isles saves now without crashing. It seems like it's been patched to work with the older saves, but the newer saves are now incompatible? (i.e. every save game I have made while I've been playing.)

It would be nice if we could hear something official about this. The deafening silence on these forums and the lack of any Steam-based patch notes makes things feel even worse.
