The studio behind the big exclusion from Microsoft recently deployed a huge patch. The latter fixed several hundred bugs and crashes which seriously harmed the player experience. The opus becomes more pleasant and easier to understand, even if some problems still remain.
The first big patch of STALKER 2 (1.0.1) of more than 13 Giga was deployed last weekend, and it was much needed since it fixed no less than 650 bugs. Technical problems which may have affected players' appreciation of the title. Ten missions containing bugs have been revised. This is the case of “On the Edge” where you must defend Zalissya from monolith soldiers. Problem: none come out of the building and they continue to appear inside, the door remaining blocked. This type of obstacle badly hinders the player's progress. Other examples: the addition of a door in the X11 laboratory or the resolution of concerns relating to the destructible nature of certain objects and others which were flying in the air.

More than 13 GB of fixes
Some fixes concern the game's AI: NPCs who remained stuck in T-Pose, for example. But also, crashes (around 100 detected) which occurred during the game. This was especially the case when you collected the strange bolt from the Tornado Archanomaly. Beyond these solutions provided, GSC Game World (the studio) wanted to optimize the gaming experience, to make it more pleasant and accessible. The company has notably worked on balancing: increasing the price of certain artifacts to make them more profitable for resale, lower prices when it comes to repairing weapons, or greater durability of armor (+12.5 %). Concerning the monsters, some will be less powerful and resistant than before, this is the case of Bloodsuckers who now suffer more damage when you shoot at them, and regenerate less.
A feat, knowing the production conditions
That said, bugs persist and persist, which is why GSC Game World is urging players to continue reporting. The Ukrainian company continues to work on future patches, even if the context of war with Russia does not offer optimal conditions for development.
STALKER 2, released on Xbox Series and PC, was released 17 years after the first opus. In this second part, we play a Stalker nicknamed Skif who is looking in this nuclear zone for artifacts that could bring them a small jackpot. Throughout his missions and clashes against mutants, the protagonist learns more about the mysteries surrounding the exclusion zone. To play STALKER 2, you have three modes available: Rookie, Stalker and Veteran. The studio announced that it will release a roadmap at the end of December: “we have big plans for the STALKER universe. In a sense, today is both a return and the beginning of a great adventure”.
