I know him as well and i know the code behind it, i don't know why this happens to you.
If anything Pre-raid settings doesn't even work within 3.11.0/1, which would be my only guess that would affect Amount/Difficulty, even tho those are still controlled from SPT side.
It is with this mod that I play, and there is complexity and amount of AI in the settings, at first I was "Like online" and after these problems I set the difficulty to medium and the problem with bots partially disappeared, but PMCs and bosses make you pray that one bullet does not fly "Head, jaw"for the sake of experience, I decided to try to set the difficulty low and the problem disappeared altogether, but it became extremely uninteresting to play because of the stupid bots. Simply put, bots have become extremely useless at a low level, but PMCs have become like bots at an average level of difficulty
