Quartus/Signaltap complains about wrong version

Hello, we are using Quartus prime V24.1.0 for a rather large project. We have various signaltap files stored within git for analysis. Now, from time to time, it happens that quartus throws the follo...

It could be the case that the project including the stp-file was opened (not created) with quartus pro 24.2 and then reopened with quartus pro 24.1

I will have a further look on that. Anyways, what is the expected way to upgrade stp files from an older to a newer version? Is there an expected way at all? Should it work out-of-the box? If not, what is the expected way to get rid of / handle the assertion?

Do I understand you correctly that "update the parent entity using the megawizard in the current release" as stated in the assertion is not possible, as we haven't (?) used the megawizard?

.stp files aren't version-specific.  No "upgrade" is necessary.

But if you compiled the design in 24.2 and then recompiled in 24.1, that might change the logic analyzer enough so it doesn't work with the same .stp file.

If not, then I stand by that the .stp file might be corrupted.
