It’s always a good feeling when developers listen to community feedback, isn’t it? According to the official source, this will be the final patch for this year, but they promise more updates are on the way in early 2025.
Let’s take a closer look at what this update has brought:
Patch Notes
- Fixed an issue where Richter could disappear from Enerhetyk Palace of Culture during “The Road to the Foundation” mission.
- A temporary solution was added to avoid crashes during shader compilation by skipping shaders warm-up.
- A few ACCESS VIOLATION ERROR crashes have been resolved.
- An issue causing invert axis options not to save after restarting has been fixed.
- An issue where controls could be lost after shooting, reloading, and examining artifacts has been corrected.
This patch also comes with a gentle reminder about backing up your save files, a thoughtful touch that many players appreciate! You can find your backup saves here:

I’m always amazed at how much effort goes into keeping games alive and well for their communities. The team behind S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is clearly dedicated to making sure players enjoy their experience without interruptions or frustrations.

Please make plans to return next year—and perhaps beyond—as there’s always more lurking within the enigmatic depths of Chornobyl.
