STALKER 2 Update Is Breaking the Game According to Fans

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must admit that the rollercoaster ride with STALKER 2 has been nothing short of exhilarating, albeit with more than its fair share of twists and turns. The latest update has undeniably brought about some new issues that have left many fans, including myself, scratching their heads in disbelief.

The eagerly anticipated upgrade for STALKER 2 has been released at last, however, it seems there are still some performance troubles. In point of fact, certain enthusiasts claim that the game’s performance is even poorer than it was previously. Regrettably, today’s 1.0.1 patch – which includes more than 650 fixes and improvements – has spawned additional problems.

On the Steam community forum, there is a discussion where numerous players are reporting issues with the game freezing or crashing, problems that did not occur prior to yesterday’s update.

One user states the game had never crashed through 36 hours of gameplay until today’s update. Now, it’s constantly crashing, rendering the title unplayable. Another says that after this most recent STALKER 2 update, they cannot throw grenades. Once they explode, the game crashes with an exception access violation error.

In some instances, users have managed to resolve these problems using a couple of methods. One approach is turning off the administrator startup, although the outcomes have been inconsistent. As usual, disabling all mods for the game prior to starting it up seems to be the most effective solution, as confirmed by discussions on the game’s Steam forum. This action has reportedly improved game performance and prevented crashing. Unfortunately, the modding community had previously enhanced the game’s performance before today’s patch, but now it appears that disabling mods is necessary. A new update for STALKER 2 has been detected, with its latest update record being 11:55 AM EST. The development team is currently focusing on resolving issues related to the game’s A-Life 2.0 system, and it’s likely that a hotfix will be released soon to address problems stemming from today’s update.

The journey of developing STALKER 2 has been a bumpy one, and it seems this trend continues even after its release, as today’s update demonstrates. Beyond performance glitches, the game is experiencing negative reviews due to Russian review bombing. Despite these challenges, the game has proven to be commercially successful, surpassing one million sales in merely three days. Furthermore, the development team at GSC Game World was forced to relocate from their office in Kyiv, Ukraine to Prague, Czech Republic as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Regardless of its unpolished aspects, STALKER 2 has managed to cultivate a passionate community. GSC Games has shown they’re dedicated to fine-tuning the game for their fanbase, and we anticipate another update won’t be far off.
