Files saved to an older version (CS6, or lower) using 30.2.1 build give errors when opening in older versions
After the last update, saving an .ai file in version CS5 or lower and then trying to open it in Illustrator CS5 results in an error: invalid operator: "<fffe>"

Should be fixed in the latest Beta build 30.4.42 — please update and check if it’s truly fixed

I am also experiencing this issue. EPS 10 files created in Illustrator 30.2.1 do not open in Illustrator CC 2020 or earlier versions.
This issue is not limited to mesh gradients — it affects all types of files.Files created in the Beta version work without any problems.

I have a problem: an EPS 10 with a gradient mesh objects, saved in Illustrator 30.2.1 (2026), won't open in 20.0.0 (CC 2020). I've tried cleaning it up in various ways, but nothing helps. Any suggestions? The error is: Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand.

Updated my PC computer to 30.2 and have been saving files to CS6 for a colleague running CS6, but colleague cannot open them. Has never been a problem prior (18 years) using any version and saving down for compatibility. Happens every single time with every single file now that I've updated. All other colleagues with lower versions like CS6 get a jumbled bunch of symbols as an error.

更新后无法保存低版本了，保存的CS6版本打开就显示错误提示。希望解决！
