Stalker 2 drops surprise extra patch

GSC Game World’s Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl has just received an extra patch that you can now download.

The game came out on November 20 and, even though most have been raving about it, it’s hard to acknowledge the release version’s rougher and likely radioactive edges. GSC Game World was quick not just to address the issues, but to come up with a patch. And what a patch that was, one single piece of software that dared to fix over 650 serious stability issues.

Though the original patch seems to have solved what it had set out to, there were some more issues left unaddressed, which GSC Game World is now attempting to fix with this new patch. The smaller but non-negligible list of fixes includes:

• Fixed an issue when the second wave  would not spawn during the “On the Edge” mission, blocking further progression.
• Fixed the issue when  could be found dead during the “A Minor Incident” mission, blocking further progression.
• The fixed issue was a player could get stuck after installing the fuse in the Wild Island area if they got the  first during the “Just Like the Good Old Days” mission, blocking further progression.
• The fixed issue was when a player could not successfully complete the “All That is Left” mission while exploring the Chemical Plant region.
• Fixed issue when quest enemies could spawn in unreachable areas for a player during the “Down Below” mission, blocking further progression.
• Fixed an issue when  could be missing during the “Visions of Truth” mission.
• A few more EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION errors are fixed.

GSC Game World has been doing a great job of dealing with these issues, and a large part of that is thanks to great cooperation with players, whom the team thanks and asks to keep on reporting any future issues here.

You can now enjoy a much more stable version of Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
