Save files compatibility 1.4.5 (ck2+ 4.01.8) => 1.5.2 (ck2+ 4.04.4)

Hi everybody!
Newbie empire builder here.

My question is: are save files made on 1.4.5 (ck2+ 4.01.8) playable on 1.5.2 (ck2+ 4.04.4), with or without Conclave?

I can load it and everything seems alright but I don't think I have any serious ck2 (or ck2+) experience so I don't really know where to look at and what to check and if it's really supposed to be compatible. Just really want to avoid discovering that something broke after several days of playing.

Any help highly appreciated.

first of all, it s 2.4.5 and 2.5.2. CK2 is in version 2.

second, no, definitely not compatible.

it may seem ok, but it really isn't. map and traits have changed, meaning characters will at best have scrambled traits, and i don't even want to think about stuff that could be wrong with the map.
then there's also the law setup. i'm not sure that will work properly at all.

Thanks!

One more question: is it good idea in any way to try with lower version of the mod then, 4.03.2 to be specific?

I see in changelogs that map changes happened in 4.04, and in 4.03 the mod was updated for 2.5.2 patch.
There is also a bunch of other changes between 4.01.8 and 4.03.2 but I'm not sure which of them can break things in older save file. Also I don't see any trait changes.
The law setup (and mod changes to it) seems to be dependent of whether or not I will enable Conclave, right?

I don't know how I missed that version number is 2. Sorry for that.
It seems I can not edit thread name.

Update for patch 2.5.2 is not compatible.
That patch contained trait updates, so you'd probably get garbage traits.

Okay, got it. Thank you for saving me from wasting my time on playing broken save file.
