STALCRAFT: X fixed an issue that caused character models to behave incorrectly in the September 16, 2026, hotfix. EXBO applied the change without stopping the game servers, so players did not need to wait through another outage to receive it.

The hotfix followed the earlier September 16 server maintenance, which restored access without announcing gameplay changes. EXBO confirmed the new fix in its Steam hotfix notice.

Players who still see character models behaving incorrectly should restart the client and make sure the game has downloaded the latest update. The notice does not list any other gameplay, interface, or balance changes.
