Short-term measures:
Install the missing device descriptions with the EASY Package Manager. Alternatively, you can insert the affected device into the project with the new version and transfer the settings etc. manually.
Evaluation/Recommendations:
When opening a PLC project, the PLC Designer checks whether the current device descriptions are used in the project and offers the possibility of updating if necessary. If, for example, not all device descriptions for the project are installed on the PC by passing on the project, the behavior described above may occur when the project is updated.
