On The Edge / Defend Zalissya STILL bugged [Xbox Patch 1.02]

After running through the quest and fighting off all waves of Monolith (after doing all the optionals/Killing guide Uncle), Gaffer asks you and everybody else to come to the Assembly Hall so be can speak.

Upon returning to the Assembly Hall, everyone is just standing there with Gaffer and nothing is said.

The quest status is also stuck on "Fight off the Monolith Attack."

Is there any way to work around this bug or is still just fucked? I absolutely love this game just like earlier STALKERs but I am getting tired of trying to find work arounds, load saves from an hour ago, ect.

Really makes me worried about other defense quests such as Rostok. Maybe it's just time to put the game down until they can polish out all of the progress impeding bugs. I'd really like to save Zalissya.

Thanks.

EDIT: I left the area with the On The Edge quest still active (went to Northern Checkpoint practically) and the 'Fight off the Monolith Attack' status went from a full circle to a single horizontal strike. I'm not sure if that means that it was considered a failed objective or not. However I went back to the Assembly Hall right after and it seems like Zalissya has been saved. The Gaffer and everybody praises you and others for helping save it, the Warlock, the Medic are now in their respective shop places inside of the Hall building and now Lens the Technician is back up and able to be used.

Could be a possible workaround for anybody that is trying to "save Zalissya ".
