Update 0.94

[h2]New Features:[/h2]

  • A new location has been added — "Palace of Culture", located in the vicinity of Pripyat.
  • A new quest has been added to clear out the Palace of Culture. It becomes available in Alex’s questline, where he previously asked for your help. You could either accept or refuse. If you refused, this questline will remain unavailable to you. The quest can be obtained at the Free Stalkers’ base after completing a series of missions in Bunker 746, followed by Bunker 345.
  • A new anomaly, "Hellfire", has been added. It can currently be encountered in the Palace of Culture area, near Pripyat.
  • A new anomaly, "Polar Star", has also been added. It is located in the Palace of Culture area, near the city of Pripyat.




[h2]Changes and Improvements:[/h2]

  • Ambient sound has been updated on the quest level "Swamp. Zimovishche Village".
  • Ambient sound has been updated on the quest level "Underground Collector".
  • Flashlight effect has been fixed. Previously, strange light streaks could appear on the left side of walls — this has now been resolved.
  • The dirty glass texture on the flashlight effect has been updated.
  • The same effect has also been fixed on both the handheld and tactical flashlights — the textures have been replaced.
  • Brightness has been increased for both handheld and tactical flashlights.
  • A critical bug related to loading/unloading shotgun shells while the weapon is in the backpack socket has been fixed. Previously, transitioning between levels or loading a save could result in losing all items in the backpack. Huge thanks to user QT𝝅 — not only for discovering the bug, but also for demonstrating how to reproduce it.
  • Fixed an issue on the "Industrial Zone" level that allowed players to leave the boundaries of the map.
  • Fixed a bug on the "Collector" level where radio messages could overlap.
  • Various game optimizations and improvements aimed at reducing minor stutters and freezes. Optimization work is ongoing.
  • Improved lightning effects on several levels.
  • Some textures have been optimized, which should help reduce video memory usage.




Additionally, I’d like to remind those who missed it: the Support Pack was recently released — for those who want to support the development of the project and receive a small but atmospheric starter gear set for their journey into the Zone.
