When we thought GSC GameWorld was done with their mega update, they surprised us with another hefty patch, this time, it’s around 7.6GB. Yesterday’s massive 110GB update fixed a whopping 1,800 issues, and now we’re left guessing what this latest little nugget brings. Unfortunately, GSC hasn’t released any patch notes yet, classic suspense move right there. But don’t worry; I’ll keep my eyes peeled for that changelog and fill you in as soon as it drops.
The previous Patch 1.1, which everyone is still buzzing about, brought some cool tweaks and improvements to A-Life 2.0, think better NPC behaviors and all that jazz! Have you been struggling with crashes during save loads or shader loading? Well, Patch 1.1.1, also known as our time’s hotfix hero, has your back.
TL;DR:
- No specific details available yet for the new patch (7.6GB).
- This follows yesterday’s major update (110GB) which addressed over 1,800 issues.
- A hotfix (Title Update 1.1.1) was released post-Patch 1.1 to fix crash issues during save load and shader loading.
- A-Life improvements noted in Patch 1.1 enhancing overall gameplay experience.
- No confirmed compatibility notes specifically listed yet regarding mods with this new patch.
I can’t help but feel excited about what’s ahead! GSC GameWorld has promised to unveil its roadmap for STALKER 2 by January 2025. Plus, they’re eyeing updates for the original STALKER trilogy on PC. Talk about nostalgia overload! It seems like they’re hitting all the right notes lately.
Do you know what else is making waves? Reports say that STALKER 2 has already covered its development costs and is profitable! Can I get a virtual high-five? Here’s hoping GSC keeps rolling out fixes and maybe even throws in some performance upgrades while they’re at it.
If you’re into mods (and who isn’t?), good news! This latest patch should play nice with those fabulous creations we’ve talked about before. Like this mod that introduces a Parkour-like climbing system or another one allowing you to fast-travel anywhere on the map, how handy is that?
Buckle up because earlier this month, we also shared a mod letting players loot all mutants. Yeah, it seems like something straight out of The Walking Dead. Oh! Mods are available that remove inventory carry limits or enable real-time dynamic flashlight shadows, a true game-changer for atmospheric gameplay!
If you’re itching to download these updates or mods (and you should), fire up Steam next time you launch its client; it’ll take care of everything automatically.
