Ukrainian studio GSC Game World has released patch 1.1.4 for its game STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. It has a relatively modest size of 13 GB, but it solves the most critical problems according to player feedback on Steam and other platforms.
According to the developers, this update fixes hangs and crashes during shader compilation, as well as memory leaks in the Rostock location.
Additionally, the patch addresses performance degradation when shooting/aiming on saves during long game play and fixes a bug that causes saves to be lost on Xbox. A crash when interacting with the UI has also been fixed.
«The battle with shader compilation has been one of the hardest for all of us recently. Please, if after the patch you continue to have problems with shader compilation, let our Technical Support team know. You can also report to them all sorts of bugs and 'anomalies' that should not be in the Zone,» the developers wrote in the description of the new patch.
They also hinted on social media that they consider this update to be «small,» and that a very large update is coming soon.
Recall that at the end of December, GSC Game World published another (this time not so big) patch, which fixes several more errors and bugs in STALKER 2. The developers promised that this would be the last update for the game in 2024 — the next one would be released in early 2025.
Previously, GSC Game World told us what they are going to do in 2025. The developers plan to continue updating STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, as well as release updates for previous games in the series on PC and consoles.
