Weekly Report #38
So it has been a week since the new Mega Patch arrived! “The Truth” improved many things, added a lot of content, including new side quests, UI changes, level and much more! So today we’ll talk more about the things we’ve spoken about last Friday.
If you’re interested in learning all about these changes, you can read our Changelog:

[h3]Have you tried... visiting the prison?[/h3]
Okay, maybe “visiting” isn’t the best word - after all, you have to let the NAR soldiers capture you. But if you have been in the prison BEFORE the recent Mega Patch, you will definitely see the difference.
We have totally rebuilt the location, so if you remember the buggy, not-so-finished prison… then you remember the simple testing “site” which was useful to look for any technical troubles before introducing to you a proper one.
Not only is the prison a completely new level, but it’s also more difficult to escape - and we recommend you try it at least once or twice. That can be fun!
[h3]Have you tried… saving your checkpoint?[/h3]
Remember all those moments, all those tough missions where you wish you could save your game? Well, you can do it now! Since the Mega Patch release last Friday, we introduced this option. This is one of the smaller improvements but can be extremely useful.
You can save your game by entering the menu (“ESC” on keyboard) and there you should see it! You can also load one of those “checkpoints” from the main menu - the one which you see when you start the game.
[h3]Have you tried... our new UI?[/h3]
We really count on your feedback with this one! We’ve reworked the User Interface so it would be more informative, a place where you can check on almost everything important for your gameplay.
You can see how your companions are doing, you can check your recipes and what can be crafted, you can look up your perks & skills - those that Igor “brought” with him to the Zone, but also those learned during his journey to find Tatiana.
You can see the new UI by pressing “I” on the keyboard and navigating towards those 3 tabs. Tell us how you like them!
[h3]Have you tried... looking beyond?[/h3]
That’s a complicated one. We’ve put many smaller or larger Easter Eggs, but you should definitely try to find other “winks” from our team. For example, just a few days ago we heard from a player that scanned the QR code that we’ve put on an identity card Igor can find while searching for clues important to his investigations. Just out of pure curiosity!
What did he find you may ask? Well, we don’t want to spoil you the pleasure of discovering that! But you should definitely pay attention to the details. Just like Igor should do when looking for Tatiana!
[h3]Remember to join our streams![/h3]
Here’s the link to the transmissions, it’ll always be the same one: https://steamcommunity.com/broadcast/watch/76561198887982618
So that’s all for this today.
Take care, stalkers!
