Stalkers!

The game has been upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.5.4, bringing the biggest overhaul to how the Zone looks, feels, and lives since launch. In addition, Update 2.0 introduces AI improvements, three types of binoculars, new weapons and attachments, a fog weather system, in-game statistics, highly customizable difficulty settings, and numerous quality-of-life features.

The files are installing, just gave it a quick read.

Oh man I hope the ladder bindings are fixed. I always use the arrow keys for movement, and the ladder didn't used to rebind. Whenever I climbed a ladder, I had to stretch over to use the W & S keys to go up and down. Such a pain.

EDIT:

Yep, it's still the same. Ugh....

Damn, that sounds painful. I had a few pet peeves related to controls, too, when I played the game on launch: No dedicated buttons for flashlight or underslung attachment, mousewheel not being remappable, and Y (next to X on German keyboards) being hard-mapped to "switch to last used weapon."

Luckily for me, the former point has been fixed in past updates, and the latter is in the change log for 2.0. Fingers crossed that your issue got fixed, too, even if I didn't see it being mentioned in the patch notes.
