S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a wonderfully old-school first-person shooter that, when firing on all cylinders, is one of the year’s most rewarding experiences. Unfortunately, the best of what it offers is trapped in a buggy experience that could turn players off in its early hours. Thankfully, developer GSC Game World is hard at work on a patch to fix some of the game’s most glaring flaws.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2’s first patch will focus on seven specific areas of the game, according to the Ukranian developer. This includes crash fixes, progression bugs in the main quest, weapon and gameplay balancing, graphical and UI fixes, soft locks that kept players in menus, and problems players have had with controls. The update is due out sometime this week.
