Since 1.0.6 came out, I have attempted to keep saved files backwards
compatible (if only because I use mine for testing). I cannot guarantee
100%, but I suspect that should be no problem.

The program, however, is a different matter. On loading a saved file, the
game is completely replayed by Rails from the start. So if the program is
not updated, the same error will keep showing up every time the game is
reloaded. Yes, all your players should upgrade.

(The above means, that saved files do not contain the current state of the
game, but the sequence of all past player actions.)

Erik.
