- Stalker 2 Patch 1.1 is now live
- List of A-Life fixes
- Other notable adjustments and changes
Stalker 2 developer GSC Game World have been working tirelessly to fix the game's various issues, including some of the most annoying ones related to progress blocking and broken AI systems, which really took away from the entire Stalker experience.
The new patch, which is now live on Steam weighs in at 110 GB. Yes, you read that right, the new patch is absolutely huge. It's the size of the full game and brings over 1800 fixes and adjustments.
Some of the most notable improvements include the first iteration of fixes for A-Life, the AI system that aims to deliver a living, breathing world with dynamic NPC behaviour. Check out the biggest changes related to A-Life below.
Stalker 2 patch 1.1 A-Life fixes
- Fixed the issue with spawning NPCs behind the player's back.
- Players can now encounter roaming NPCs across the Zone more often.
- Greatly extended the distance at which A-Life NPCs are visible to the player.
- Fixed the aggressive optimization issue that prevented A-Life NPCs to exist in Offline (out of player's visualization range).
- In Offline mode, A-Life will continue to advance towards their goals over time.
- Players may now have opportunities to encounter A-Life NPCs they've previously met by following in the same direction as the NPCs.
- Improved A-Life NPCs navigation in Offline using GameGraph (global AI navigation map):
- Fixed multiple issues where NPCs would fail to follow or find a path to their designated goals.
- Fixed several issues with NPC being stuck in Online-Offline transition state
- Enhanced A-Life NPCs' motivation to expand territory and actively attack enemies and mutants.
- Fixed issues that could result in fewer A-life NPCs encountered than intended.
- Further contextual actions improvement to ensure seamless transitions between Offline and Online states for NPCs engaged in these actions.
- The groups exploring the Zone are now more diverse regarding possible factions and group sizes.
- Fixed issue that while roaming over the Zone, Human NPCs didn't satisfy their communication needs and talks.
It would probably take me a full day to write about everything that is included in this patch so I wholeheartedly recommend you go to Stalker 2 Steam page and check out the full patch notes.
