Developers from GSC Game World have released update 1.3 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, which includes more than 1200 changes, fixes and improvements.
Here's What We Know
The update has affected many aspects of the game:
- Artificial Intelligence and Combat System: Improved mutant movements during combat, NPC reaction to footsteps, and mutant behaviour during ambushes.
- Balance: rebalanced archaeological artefacts, reduced the frequency of random encounters in the A-Life system, and changed the anomaly protection for different types of armour.
- Stability and performance: almost 100 bugs that caused the game to crash have been fixed, memory leaks and other technical issues have been resolved.
Although there is still a long way to go to optimise the game, GSC is actively doing everything to make S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 even more comfortable. The full list of changes can be found at this link.
