The upcoming update will bring with it several popular fixes and improvements:
- eliminate crashes caused by errors in the process of memory allocation and other problems;
- fix story quests, freeing them from bugs that prevent them from passing;
- correct prices for weapons with installed upgrades and NPC behavior during emissions;
- add missing facial animations, return lost NPCs to their place, eliminate visual bugs (like heads torn off the body or clothes getting stuck);
- improve the quality and stability of visual effects;
- correct the display of tasks during dialogues, errors in texts and add missing hints for interactions.
In future patches, the studio promised to fix bugs with the A-Life system, as well as deal with the dead zone of analog sticks on the gamepad. There is no word about optimization yet. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available on PC and Xbox Series, as well as on Game Pass.
