One of bad things now is that savegames are not compatible. The other is - I do not trust 3rd party fixes. Why is GOG using them if KB is still fresh game and it should be easier to ask developer?

I've updated first post of this topic to make current actions more clear.
BTW: I remember the info I've found on official Russian forum and it's bad for us: cracked game can be the reason to have some quests impossible to finish. :(

For the rest of your post: yes, I agree that there are bugs in almost every applications in the world. But if I do not know structure of the program and would like to "improve it" I could break another things - that way teams of crackers work. Also (I do not know if this is that case, but..) developers sometimes are making special traps for crackers causing them some hidden buggy functions to appear.
So, again, yes, every program has probably some bugs, but I would prefer to have bugs made by developer which will be probably erased with next build than to have buggy version of the game with "a few bugs more" and also not really compatible with future patches.

So are you saying then that a moderator on the game developer's forums has stated the patch GOG made to the game to fix it breaks it in other places? Do I understand you correctly?
Also, is this moderator a volunteer mod or are they actually in the employ of the company and preferably on the actual development team?

Someone posted that he/she could not finish some particular quest (he/she said quest name but I can not remember it now). One of moderators answered that he/she knows this problem and it is only encountered in cracked version of the game.

That doesn't answer my question though. What cracked version of the game? Did this person complain about the GOG version and did the mod state the GOG version is known to have this problem? Or are we talking about some gamecopyworld crack from who knows where?
By the way it seems rather odd to me that a cracked version of a game would have a bugged quest where the bug is caused by the crack. Generally speaking a crack simply defeats the copy protection scheme and should never touch any other code that would effect the game's play mechanics, etc. I guess it isn't impossible but it certainly seems pretty unlikely. I'd be very interested in hearing a developer explanation of that little scenario.

But, when looking for other exes to compare with GOG's fix I found it on site mentioned by you. So, from the other point of view, saying that GOG fix is not that mentioned crack and is 100% safe is also not true.
So you really haven't heard of pink scorpion? Such copy protections were pretty often used in the past by developers of different games so I can't see why it can't happen in KB's case.

Well good luck to you with your quest Lexor. :-)
I'm glad they fixed the known issues and appreciate your efforts in bringing that about. I look forward to playing this game when I get to it.

For me, the issue isn't that there are bugs (I know there'll always be bugs). The issue is that GOG for some reason still hasn't given us the most recent official version and has instead given us a version which is (as I understand it) not compatible with the official patches nor save games from any other versions.
