STALKER - Saved game version mismatch!

So, I've played a couple of hours of STALKER and just recently updated my game to the most current patch. Now every time I try to access my saved games, it give me an error message "Saved game version mismatch or corrupted save file".

Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

Well, it's obvious why your saved game doesn't work. You updated the game, and apparently the game won't let you load old saves.

All I can say is either downgrade the game (probably hard to do, Google) or start fresh and either play it through, or cheat to get back to where you were. Sorry, mate.

Yea, first STALKER. Is this just going to happen for the 1.0-1.1 conversion or should I expect that everytime I update the game it willl void my save games.

I'm thinkin of just startin the game over, those couple of hours won't be too missed
