25.11.24
GSC Game World has announced the first post-launch patch for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which will be released next week for PC C and Xbox. Despite the warm reception, the game has encountered a number of technical issues that the developers are actively working to fix.
The update will affect all aspects of the game. Bugs that cause crashes, freezes, and mission blocking will be fixed. Improvements will affect NPC behavior, the correct display of markers and notifications, and the stability of visual effects. Graphical problems related to character animation will be fixed, and some plot elements will be reworked. In addition, the cost parameters of modified weapons and the behavior of NPCs during Ejection will be adjusted.
The developers also promised to fix issues with gamepad controls and refine the A-Life 2.0 system, which is responsible for dynamic events in the Zone, in future patches. This update will be the first step in improving the user experience and eliminating issues noted by players and experts.
Ukrainian studio GSC Game World has achieved impressive success with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which sold 1 million copies in its first two days after its release on November 20. This achievement is even more significant considering that the game is available on Game Pass, which significantly increases the total number of players exploring the Zone.
