Chernobylite Complete Edition News

[h3]Hello Stalkers![/h3]
This week has been extremely exciting for us for two reasons.

Firstly, we've officially launched the Halloween sale! Chernobylite Enhanced Edition and almost all DLCs are available for purchase at a discount of -40%!

For those who don't want to buy everything separately, we’ve also prepared another offer: Chernobylite Deluxe Edition, which is the full game + DLC bundle at a price of -55% lower!

A real treat for those who haven't had the chance to play our game yet. But hurry up, you only have until November 1st to take advantage of this offer.

Secondly, an equally important event is the premiere of Chernobylite’s Season 3: Green Walls. We promised you new content throughout the year, and we kept our word. This time we give you another package with a new map, new weapon and a new gameplay mode, plus additional fixes and optimizations that you asked for.

The new map, i.e. Cooling Towers - an unfinished building (obviously), which construction has been suspended due to the disaster at the Chernobyl power plant. Now you have the opportunity to visit it in person and admire the unfinished structure from the inside. Literally.



New weapon, namely, the Soviet Makarov. At first glance, an inconspicuous automatic pistol that has appeared here and there in various games. However, in Chernobylite, this gun can be an extremely effective weapon, especially if it’s subjected to appropriate modifications.



The new mode is called Gate of Madness. We took the difficulty level to (literally) the next level because we felt Insane was way too easy. We've added so many variables to tweak the difficulty level that perhaps the next step would be to replace the "New Game" button with "Game Over" button.

And of course, don't forget about one more thing: paid Zone Bard DLC that adds radio to your base. Thanks to this, you can play music in your base that suits your mood. Actually, to mark this occasion, we added some new, previously unpublished songs.

[h3]The next, already third major update in 2022 is now available to everyone! In the latest pack you will find a new mode that significantly increases the difficulty level, a new map and a weapon that can be modified at will. Additionally, we also have a surprise for music lovers.[/h3]

• Gate of Madness - a new game mode that significantly increases the difficulty level (note: available only to those who have finished the game). If you thought Insane was difficult, we have bad news for you. Only one save game available. Immediate death with insufficient chernobylite available. Madness, as a new stat indicator, permanently lowering the hero's mental condition, lower morale of companions or the inability to obtain weapons from killed enemies. These are just some of the difficulty-enhancing changes.
  
  
  
  
• Brute Force - a new weapon. The Makarov is a classic Russian automatic pistol that, after upgrading, can be used as a type of submachine gun. And barrel modifications will give the shells special properties.
  
  
  
  
• Cooling Towers! - a new map. The power plant cooling towers are two unfinished concerte giants close to Reactor 5 and 6 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Meant to evaporate the cooling water from two reactors, they were never completed as the disaster stopped all works on the site in 1986. The radiation level around them remains high even today. Now you will have the opportunity to visit this spot in person.
  
  
  
  
• We have updated FSR to 2.1 (for DX12) and DLSS to 2.3 version, and added an option to control sharpness in the game while using FSR 2.0! But these are not the only changes. Check out "Fixes and optimization" for more information ;)
  

[h2]Paid content:[/h2]
[h3]Zone Bard[/h3]
Expansion of the original soundtrack with possibility to control the music in the base. We add a series of new guitar musical tracks with the possibility to interactively switch between them in the base using a playing device. Anytime in the base player can approach the radio and play the selected music track, including the old and brand new songs. Go back to the base, turn on the radio and enjoy the music you choose.

This DLC will be available for Early Access players for free!

[h2]Fixes and optimization:[/h2]
New content is not the only thing we worked on. There are also a few fixes and changes:

Optimization:

• We have updated FSR to 2.1 (for DX12) and DLSS to 2.3 version
  
• Some of you suggested that having a control over sharpness in the game while using FSR 2.0 would be a good thing, so we added this option - you can adjust it in video settings at any time (applicable for DX12 version)
  
• We fixed possible crash during benchmark session
  
• We expanded information provided in benchmark test summary - now it also mentions FSR, Ray Tracing and DLSS
  
• Sometimes the game was crashing during longer sessions when both FSR and Ray Tracing were turned ON - we made few improvements so it shouldn’t happen anymore
  
• We have fixed small graphical glitches which were visible when using FSR on some versions of Nvidia graphic cards
  

Bug fixes (major bugs):

• VR inception: It’s no longer possible to duplicate “use” interaction on VR machine which resulted in semi-blocker
  
• VR inception: Thanks to your reports, we managed to catch and fix a bug where skills learnt inside VR would block the same ones available in non-VR mode. Thanks!
  
• Jail: Loading saves in specific moments during the Chain Reaction mission resulted in Igor being unable to move. Fear not, you won’t be stuck in jail anymore. The fix will work even if you use the same save
  
• Inventory: Some of you managed to get over 1000 chernobylite crystals and in such a scenario, quest items couldn’t be added to inventory which resulted in a blocker. We were impressed by you dedication and such amounts and decided to increase the crystals’ stack to make sure you won’t be blocked
  

Bug fixes (minor bugs):

• Localization: Thanks to your keen eye for details, we got reports with spelling mistakes/typos in various texts. We fixed most of them. Once again - thank you!
  
• Localization: Czech and French languages were missing in some dialogs - they are now added and displaying correctly
  
• Timeline: It’s no longer possible to fall under terrain after sneaking into specific spot
  
• Ray Tracing: We fixed few minor visual bugs
  

That's all for today! Have fun with your new content, and remember that it's not over. In a few months, the next and last big pack of new content awaits you.

Also remember, if you have any questions or problems, do not hesitate to contact us on the Steam forum - we’ll be there to help you! :)
