InEffect: it sucks if that's the case.
ghiknt: While that is the case in some games it does not appear to be so for this one. Linux users haven't gotten incremental updates since the 1.0.5 patch and haven't had each full update available and I don't think I have done any update that didn't skip at least one if not two versions. For instance I am updating from 1.0.11b* to 1.0.14b today and have had no issues with save file updates.
* 1..0.12 was available but the it had problems with missing resources so I skipped it.
From everything I've read on the patch notes, it certainly is the case. I would love it to be confirmed otherwise.
Edit: And how are you skipping updates? Galaxy? I am using direct downloads.
Edit 2: Here is but one example I was able to find in 30 seconds in the patch notes:
Amiri's sword repair didn't count in the companion's quest ("Reforged Blade"). Resolution: fixed. Affected saves files have also been corrected.
