To open a Construct project in an older version, first, change the file extension from .c3p to .zip. Then, extract the contents.
Next, open the project.c3proj file in a text editor and find the line with "savedwithrelease": XYZ. Change the XYZ to an older release of Construct where it can be successfully opened.
Save your changes, compress the files back into a .zip, and rename it to .c3p. Now, try opening the modified .c3p file in the older version of Construct.
