Winter is a tough season, especially in the Zone. And even though some winter days felt like late March, stalkers are jubilant to welcome the advent of spring. The season when everything is new, the world refreshes, and the Zone is no exception. Curious mutants lurking through the grass searching for adventures, artefacts and anomalies are easier to spot. Seasoned veterans are ready to find what was left under the snow, some romantic stalkers are happy to see first flowers and traders are ready to welcome newcomers. Spring is a big deal to them, tons of rookies are looking to venture for a bet

Minor update in the renderers initialization sequence to address issue with freezing the game on computers powered by 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors running on Windows 11. Patch affects only R2 render (Full Dynamic Lighting @ DirectX® 9). The reason behind this issue is the fact Intel dropped hardware support for DX9 in their integrated graphics cards found in 12th Gen (and upper) CPUs and discrete Arc GPUs. To support older games, emulation layer called D3D9On12 is used to translate DX9 API calls to DX12 at runtime. The game has somewhat complicated initialization which locked the emulator.

Adrenaline roof jumps or painstaking, step by bolt, advance to the goal? Bloodthirsty zombies or predatory mutants? The nights that turn hunters to prey, or the Emission that gives you the only chance to survive by hiding as deep as possible?

Bright Emission illuminates the sky. Seems the Noosphere is proceeding that stalkers from Awaken Realms have discovered — something that will forever go down in the history of the Zone. Rumors say that these explorers are true masters of their craft and are ready to share some fruits of the expedition! Clues we've got: you'll need a squad of stalker mates, a safe shelter with one evening supply stock, and… a table. Perhaps a campfire for complete immersion. We guess the best chance to clear it out is on their stream that’s start right now:

The last leaves drop down to the soil. Winter takes its toll, and the Zone gets covered with new, pure snow. The snow that will change its look but not the essence: strong, dangerous and a bit lonely. She keeps the memories about those times when the first stalkers did their first timid steps through the fences, ruins and anomalous puddles. Today those stalkers are hardy wolves, perhaps. And they are waiting for her next call. The call that they are promised to answer back by returning to Her, their home. If you desire to renew your ticket to Pripyat, follow the first stalkers steps and find y

The charity sale of GSC Game World games is over. The great reason to be proud of our community. Thank you all! Those who hear Ukrainians. Those who open their doors to Ukrainians. Those who do not stand aside: tweet, show their support, correspond, offer help, take to the streets all around the world, donate money, participate in charity sales, join the ranks of volunteers, feed those who are starving, dismantle blockages, protect, treat, transport, rescue and never back down. You are incredible! Together with you, we’ve managed to raise more than $800,000. After taxes and store commissions,

Friends! We are incredibly grateful for every purchase during the GSC for Ukraine Charity Sale. Now we see your powerful support — on some platforms we even had to generate new game keys for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series. By purchasing any games already released by GSC Game World, you are helping the defenders of Ukraine to protect our Independence. There are 3 days left until the end of the Charity Sale. You are incredible. Do not stop!

It has been more than a month since the war started in Ukraine. A painful and horribly long time. But in these exact moments, a genuine unity appears. These days, «Duty» with «Freedom» are standing shoulder to shoulder in a single row with militaries, protecting their motherland. Free volunteers are fetching incredibly rare stuff from the well-developed stashes network. Cossacks from Territorial Defence are consolidating to transform any little town into an impregnable Sich. And mages of the Internet are casting Empire-Annihilation spells to ensure our efficient informational support and helpi

Despite mods, abortive sequels, and spiritual spin offs, the promise of “like Stalker, but x” never quite comes true. I’ve just now realised this is why Ray Of Hope is so named. “Multiplayer Stalker” is such a pipe dream that it took ten minutes of uninterrupted footage to convince me there was more than a slim chance this will deliver. What I’ve seen of this standalone mod is enough to turn my head. You too can injure your neck below. (more…)

The one certainty with news items about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is there’s at least a 70 percent chance they’ve been planted by Jim. Thanks Jim! GOG.com continues to blow the horn in support of DRM-free everything with a new game reclaiming service, which you can check it out for yourself in this generously placed link. The idea is that if you bought a game legitimately but the game no longer works because of unsupported DRM or other causes, then you can enter your original game key in order to get a free copy of the game through GOG’s DRM-free online store. …

Discounts on the STALKER trilogy (which seems like the wrong way to categorise the series somehow, but never mind) tend to wheel around pretty often, but this is particularly good deal for the whole set. There a certain games which are buried deep in RPS’ DNA, and the semi-open world, post apocalyptic survival/horror/action STALKER is one of them. If you haven’t played them, you are everything that’s wrong with humanity missing out some of the most ambitious and atmospheric shooters of all time. …
