The fans are loving the recently released Stalker 2, despite its some bugs. The game has received positive reviews and good sales so far. However, there are many criticisms regarding the crashes and bugs on the internet.
In response to player feedback, developer GSC Game World will release an update this week to address these issues. Let’s explore more details in this article.
Upcoming Stalker 2 update
In a recent Steam post, GSC Game World outlined the upcoming patch’s key fixes, which include:
- Crash Fixes: Tackling memory allocation and rendering issues that have previously led to unexpected game exits, especially during critical gameplay moments like cutscenes.

- Gameplay and Balance: Rectifying pricing discrepancies for upgraded weapons and improving NPC behavior during in-game events like Emissions, where finding shelter is crucial in Stalker 2.
- Cutscenes and Visuals: Addressing visual inconsistencies including missing facial animations, misplaced characters, and clothing glitches, alongside enhancing the stability and quality of visual effects.
- Softlock Issues: Resolving a particularly frustrating bug where players couldn’t exit the trade screen on gamepads after incorrectly placing ammo.
- User Interface: Enhancing the display of quest notifications during dialogues and fixing text errors and interaction prompts.
