There's a lot of reasons for developer GSC Game World to be happy about these days. One of these is the fact that its latest title S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2: Heart of Chornobyl has managed to sell at least 1 million units. What makes this milestone even more impressive is that it was reached within two days after the official release.
In a post, the studio shared that this is merely the start of an unforgettable adventure as the game "emanates stronger with each of us."
Upcoming Fixes
As if to show just how dedicated they are, the team has revealed that they're working on releasing the first patch of the game. This is due to some of the issues that have been identified. Those that have been fixed include:
- Issues and memory allocation failures, which previously caused the game to exit unexpectedly, particularly around rendering, skeletal meshes, and quest-related cutscenes.
- Several bugs blocking the main quest progression, NPCs getting stuck in objects, incorrect quest markers, and issues with quest cutscenes.
- Revision of the main quests (like Visions of Truth or A Minor Incident) to ensure smooth transitions, avoiding rare cases of players not being able to proceed further.
- Fixing the price of the weapons with upgrades installed compared to their value without attachments.
- NPCs behavior, including the way they act when lacking a shelter during the Emissions.
- Rarely missing facial animations, misplaced NPCs, and visual inconsistencies like detached heads and clothes clipping.
- Quality and stability improvements of the visual effects.
- Issue where players were unable to close the trade screen after putting ammo in a wrong slot while playing on a gamepad.
- Quest notifications now showed correctly during dialogues.
- Corrected texts and missing interaction prompts.
- Analogue sticks dead zones bugfixes.
- A-Life system bugfixes.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl invites everyone to an immersive post-apocalyptic atmosphere through an open-world design. The Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, the game’s setting, has changed dramatically after a second massive explosion in 2006. This terrain is filled with violent mutants, deadly anomalies, and warring factions that make survival a daunting task.
Playing as a lone stalker, players have the chance to explore a photorealistic 64-km² radioactive zone with various environments that reveal different aspects of the post-apocalypse. The non-linear storyline allows players to make essential decisions affecting their characters’ destinies and offers several different endings.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl offers a comprehensive experience that pushes the boundaries of open-world gaming and immerses players into a dynamic, dangerous, and determinedly realistic post-apocalyptic setting. Get the game on Steam now.
