Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl<\/a> developer GSC Game World has outlined its first post-launch patch, which aims to make a number of key fixes.<\/p>\n

GSC\u2019s post-apocalyptic first-person horror shooter has enjoyed a big launch, with over one million copies sold since going on sale last week<\/a>. But it’s dragged down by significant bugs and crash issues (check out IGN\u2019s Stalker 2 review<\/a> for more).<\/p>\n

Now, the developers have revealed<\/a> what players can expect from the first update, due out this week on both PC and the Xbox Series X and S versions of the game. Highlights include much-needed crash fixes, main quest progression fixes, graphics fixes, and adjustments to NPC behavior. <\/p>\n

GSC said future updates will make analogue stick dead zone bugfixes and A-Life system bugfixes. Free in-game content is also coming to the game – expect more on that when GSC shares its roadmap later in December.<\/p>\n

To help you survive in the Zone, we’ve got a list of Essential Stalker 2 Tips and Tricks<\/a>, plus a guide on Things to Do First in Stalker 2<\/a> to help you through the early game, and Things Stalker 2 Doesn’t Tell You<\/a> – everything we wish we knew before we started playing. Save time scouring the wasteland with our Artifacts checklist and locations guide<\/a>, and every Stash location<\/a> we’ve found so far.<\/p>\n

Stalker 2 suffered a number of understandable delays, most recently in July<\/a> when the game was due out in September. GSC said at the time that the extra two months would give the developers the chance to fix “unexpected anomalies,” aka bugs.<\/p>\n

GSC has also been vocal about the challenges the studio faced getting Stalker 2 up to scratch after a mixed reaction to its debut public showing last year. At gamescom 2023, GSC addressed what some had called a \u201cdowngrade\u201d sparked by Stalker 2\u2019s then latest gameplay trailer<\/a>. At the time, GSC told IGN it was still targeting a visual quality and level of polish suggested by Stalker 2\u2019s eye-catching 2021 trailer despite the horrendous conditions suffered by the staff amid the war with Russia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornoby\u2019s first post-launch update patch notes:<\/h2>\n

Crash Fixes, including:<\/p>\n

Issues and memory allocation failures, which previously caused the game to exit unexpectedly, particularly around rendering, skeletal meshes, and quest-related cutscenes.<\/p>\n

Main Quest Progression Fixes, including:<\/p>\n

Several bugs blocking the main quest progression, NPCs getting stuck in objects, incorrect quest markers, and issues with quest cutscenes.Revision of the main quests (like Visions of Truth or A Minor Incident) to ensure smooth transitions, avoiding rare cases of players not being able to proceed further.<\/p>\n

Gameplay & Balance Adjustments, including:<\/p>\n

Fixing the price of the weapons with upgrades installed compared to their value without attachments.NPCs behavior, including the way they act when lacking a shelter during the Emissions.<\/p>\n

Cutscenes & Visual Fixes, including:<\/p>\n

Rarely missing facial animations, misplaced NPCs, and visual inconsistencies like detached heads and clothes clipping.Quality and stability improvements of the visual effects.<\/p>\n

Softlock Fixes, including:<\/p>\n

Issue where players were unable to close the trade screen after putting ammo in a wrong slot while playing on a gamepad.<\/p>\n

User Interface Improvements, including:<\/p>\n

Quest notifications now showed correctly during dialogues.Corrected texts and missing interaction prompts.<\/p>\n

Noted to be addressed in future updates:<\/p>\n

Analogue sticks dead zones bugfixes.A-Life system bugfixes.<\/p>\n
