Несмотря на успешный выход первого сюжетного дополнения «Цена надежды», создатели S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 не собираются уходить на отдых и продолжают активно улучшать игру. Новый апдейт снова посвящен устранению ошибок, и на этот раз их на удивление много. Патч под номером 2.0.5 принес свыше 200 исправлений в самых разных аспектах проекта, а на ПК вес обновления составляет примерно 8 ГБ. Как сообщается, свежий патч затронул не только улучшение базовых механик, но и затронул поведение искусственного интеллекта и стабильность миссий. Вот самое основное из большого списка обновления: Авторы скорректиров

It's tempting to say that these games ought to just stay under wraps until they're done and relatively bug-free—but at Gamescom 2026, GSC Game World CEO and head of game direction Ievgen Grygorovych told PC Gamer's Joshua Wolens that deciding when to release is a more complex consideration than you might think...

Earlier this month, Stalker 2 received a massive version 2.0 update to accompany the launch of its Cost of Hope expansion. Our Joshua Wolens says that—for those of us who've been patiently holding off while Stalker 2 finds a steady footing—it's the update that we've been waiting for, thanks in large part to developer GSC Game World's Herculean undertaking of updating its engine from Unreal 5.1 to Unreal 5.5.4...

Stalkers! Patch 2.0.4 is ready. Let’s take a look at what pesky “anomalies” were fixed. • Fixed an issue where a player could lose the ability to move after loading the save made right after the explosion of a C4 device. • Fixed an issue where Mavka could still be present in the Kurin hub after the end of the In the heart of the Iron Forest mission. • Fixed an issue where the cutscene in the Zalissya bar could start the second time.

Each adventure in the Zone has its own special sound.The one that followed you on the road to the Centre, then faded away among the dense undergrowth and empty corridors. It grew stronger in the face of the unknown. It stayed by your side even when your weapon was lowered.Now, you can take the sounds of your latest journey with you.Check the YouTube description to find the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope soundtrack on Spotify — along with both sides of CNPP Radio: Freedom and Duty.You can listen to both. We won't tell them.
