[h2]Zone Report: Issue 2[/h2]



Hello, stalkers! Ready for a new hunt? I've almost finished preparing the new update.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

You can expect not only new locations, anomalies, and enemies but also game optimization! It took a lot of time and effort, but it was worth it!

[h2]New Features:[/h2]

• The weapon cleaning sprays WD-40 and WD-10 now have a liquid reserve. You can always refill it at the "Black Market."
  

[h2]Changes and Improvements:[/h2]

• The save system has been improved, which should enhance the stability of the game.
  
• AI for factions has been fixed. Previously, there were cases where AI would stop patrolling — this issue has now been resolved.
  
• The OSA detector has been upgraded: the effect and sound when detecting an artifact are now unique.
  
• The GROZA detector has been upgraded: the effect and sound when detecting an artifact are now unique.
  
• The OSP-01 detector has been upgraded: the effect and sound when detecting an artifact are now unique.
  
• The PDA calibration icon has been fixed. On some levels, it was displayed as a light bulb, and on others as a crouching figure. Now, the icon is identical everywhere.
  
• Several aspects of the quest system have been refined. For example, at the very beginning, many players failed to notice the need to accept a quest from Sedoy when receiving the SMS, which led to confusion about what to do next.
  
• Performance has been improved on the "Pripyat" level.
  
• Minor fixes and improvements have been made on several levels.
  

Remember, stalkers: I read all your feedback and comments and try to respond quickly. And don’t forget, the Zone is constantly changing, and each time you venture into it, it’s a new challenge. Stay alert and cautious. Good luck! There's still plenty of excitement ahead!

[h2]New Features:[/h2]

• A new quest chain has been added for the AFU faction. The quest can be obtained at the Outpost from the faction commander.
  
• Patrols can now be encountered in the raid location "Abandoned Village." This depends on your progress in the game. Those just starting out and gathering their first loot will not encounter patrols.
  
• A seated height calibration mode has been added. It can be activated both in the main menu and through the player’s PDA.
  

[h2]Changes and Improvements:[/h2]

• The quest system has been improved: it is now impossible to accidentally receive a completed quest again. Additionally, for those who have already received repeat quests and are unable to cancel them, after completing the AFU quest chain, they will be fixed and canceled.
  
• The player's height in seated mode has been adjusted.
  
• Minor tweaks and fixes have been made on some levels.
  

Remember, stalkers: I read all your feedback and comments and strive to respond promptly. The Zone is constantly changing, and each time you enter it — it’s a new challenge. Be careful and vigilant. Good luck! There’s still much more to come!

[h2]Changes and Improvements:[/h2]

• Fixed an issue when purchasing artifacts on the "Black Market": previously, the artifact would not activate after purchase.
  
• Fixed an issue on the "Swamp" level where the water reacted to the bolt and triggered the damage effect.
  
• Improved the "Black Market": sometimes purchased items could get stuck in the table.
  
• Slightly reduced the sound radius of the activated mine.
  
• Made additional improvements to the save system, which should help prevent the rare cases where certain items would disappear in your shelter.
  
• Reduced the player's maximum teleport radius.
  
• Fixed the description for detectors. Previously, it appeared by pressing the A button, unlike other items, where the description was activated by pressing the B button.
  
• Fixed a bug with the repeated issuance of the quest to disable the relay on the radio towers. For those who still have the quest active, it will be marked as completed shortly.
  
• Fixed two anomalies that, after the addition of teleportation in recent updates, were not triggering on the player. :)
  

[h2]Changes and improvements:[/h2]

• Restored the ability to view item information with either the left or right hand by pressing the B or Y button, depending on the controllers.
  
• The crouch mode has been reassigned to the joystick press on the hand that controls turning. Based on quick feedback, this seems more appropriate. Adjusted for left- and right-handed control schemes.
  
• The teleport system has been adapted for left- and right-handed players.
  
• In left-handed mode, a proper transition to sprint has been added. Now, just like in right-handed mode, when moving forward, you press the joystick and start running.
  
• Fixed an issue with raids related to loot generation.
