I feel your pain. If you want some "tea and sympathy" (or just a confirmatory laugh) read my blog on the disaster that v1.4005 is here. I started writing that about 2 days after this current main release...

The dev team's answer to such critique was to release some jumped up 'Extended Pack' as "paintjob / distraction", so that players can be covertly used to playtest their latest "ideas".

Sooner or later, reality catches up.

You could try sending the great Zoltan Munkacsi a message to his wall at User:Dezodor, but you have little chance of getting a reply. He sort of got the hump when he was pulled up for revisionism.

As for your noble request that the team should make saves compatible; that just will never happen. Fuggeddaboudit. At the very least it has to do with 'all.spawn' created at the start of a new game, and the fact that they introduce moron NPCs to introduce Byzantine sub-plots (like Nimble and Maj Griboyedov) that have you running the levels for kopeks...

FFS, even shite games like FIFA 97 had more joined up AI than this...

We all just wanted to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. We all thought Dezowave had a promising plan too, after all:

"Have you ever dreamt of playing the old, forgotten S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?"

Unfortunately, with the demise of the original team, faults in the acumen of the leadership become apparent.
