Well, it should not say either.  According to the release date, the
version should be shown as 2.34 in both cases.  The splash screen does
not use any system font rendering functions, it's all just prerendered
digits, so I have no idea how it can be showing a wrong version.

Do you mean you updgraded the OS but kept Gwyddion intact, and this
happened?  Do you open the .par file (that's more reliable than the raw
data files)?  Do you have the file format set to ‘Automatically
detected’?

Please post what the various errors literally say, including the ‘Loaded
using’ part (it should be possible to select the message and use
copy'n'paste).

I can open your file fine – using the current Gwyddion version in Linux.
Also did a quick memory analyser check but nothing suspicious happens
while loading the file.

This part can be explained easily.  The thumbnails were created and
cached when you opened the files.  So they are still shown, even though
Gwyddion refuses to load the files now.
