Z.O.N.A Project X News

Hello, stalkers! Another update for you, version 1.00.54.

[h2]What's new:[/h2]

☢️ Weapons will now rust over time due to wear. This will help you determine when they need repair. Remember, you can also view the wear level and other characteristics of weapons and various items by pressing the physical B or Y button, depending on which controllers you use.
☢️ A 5-round ammo pouch has been added to the Remington 870 shotgun stock. This will make life easier for you in the Zone.

☢️ Tracking for VR headsets has been reworked, finally resolving the 180-degree rotation issue for Pimax and WMR helmets! IMPORTANT! If you notice incorrect behavior of your VR headset after this update, please inform me. So far, no problems have been noticed on test helmets from Valve and Meta, and everything works as before.

[h2]Changes and improvements:[/h2]

🔸 Fixed a bug with the Remington 870 shotgun cartridges, which could simply disappear from the weapon or inventory.
🔸 Adjusted the radio sound in the training room.
🔸 Adjusted the sound of anecdotes at the first location.
🔸 Partially adjusted the inventory sound.
🔸 The headlamp is now slightly lowered.
🔸 Lighting in the training room has been slightly changed.
🔸 Minor improvements made to enemy AI. Reminder, I am currently developing a new AI system to replace the outdated one, and it will be implemented as soon as it's ready.

Remember, stalkers: The Zone is constantly changing, and each of your exits into it is a new challenge. Stay alert and cautious. Good luck! Many more interesting things await you!

Hello, stalkers! We have another update for you, 1.00.53.

[h2]What's New:[/h2]

☢️ A new class of weapons has been added to the game - shotguns, for now, only one model: "Remington 870," along with its ammunition. The approach to ammunition is different from rifles; you can unload the shotgun and put unused cartridges back into the box, or vice versa, take them out of the box by pressing the controller's trigger and load the shotgun. With Remington 870, you can easily kill any enemy, but remember, the farther the enemy is from you, the wider the spread of the shot. It can be found in raids and in the story campaign.



[h2]Changes and Improvements:[/h2]

🔸 Improved physics of objects, you complained that they were falling through the ground, this should no longer happen.
🔸 Finally fixed bugs with healing. It turned out there was a memory leak during healing, causing a significant FPS drop, now it's all 100% fixed!
🔸 Some types of weapons have been revised.
🔸 Additionally, another level optimization has been carried out, giving about a 5% increase in FPS on test helmets in addition to previous fixes. Now the game runs smoothly on Valve Index and Meta Quest Pro test helmets.
🔸 Some monsters have been revised.
🔸 The physics of the hands have been improved.

Remember, stalkers: The Zone is constantly changing, and each foray into it is a new challenge. Stay alert and cautious. Good luck! There's still much more exciting stuff awaiting you!

Mini-fix 1.00.52b

🔸 Slightly changed the mechanics of the right shoulder slot for weapons. Now, weapons can only be drawn using the grab function. This is done to prevent accidental drawing of the weapon with the trigger, which led to immediate firing.
🔸 Completed global level optimization. In this update, the stability of all locations in the game has been improved, with an average FPS increase of 10-12 on test helmets Valve Index and Meta Quest Pro.

🔸 Minor tweaks to injections, now they restore health faster.
🔸 Fixed a bug related to the AS "Val".
🔸 Begun global optimization of levels. In this update, the stability of the first three locations has been improved, with an average FPS increase of 10-12 on Valve Index and Meta Quest Pro test headsets.

Despite the holidays, we have prepared a new update 1.00.52 for you.

[h2]Changes and improvements:[/h2]

🔸 Changed the movement direction control mode: previously, there were camera mode and free mode. Now - camera mode and right controller mode. The second mode of movement direction control using the right controller is more familiar to you, and you requested it to be added instead of the free mode.
🔸 Improved weapon physics: now the hand holding the stock has more influence on the weapon than the one holding the barrel.
🔸 Reworked headlamp: now, when climbing ladders and walls, it won't turn on and off.
🔸 Now you can't put a bolt in the backpack slot - a funny bug that is almost a year old, which many didn't even know about.
🔸 Changed weapon shaders: now some types of weapons look more realistic.
🔸 Additional optimization on some levels.
🔸 Increased durability for some types of weapons.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! In the new year of 2024, even more innovations and improvements await you. Thank you to everyone who was with me and participated in improving the game in the departing year of 2023, and thanks to everyone who supports the project! May life bring you joy in 2024. And peaceful skies above your head! Which I haven't had for 2 years.
