GSC has released a small update for STALKER 2 that addresses some issues with memory leaks, controls, AI, and missions. This is the third update that has dropped since the game was released on November 20, and it’s indicative of GSC’s intention to patch the game as much as possible following mixed feedback and reviews.
In my eyes, STALKER 2 is fantastic – and my review of the game was glowing. If I’m being honest, I’ve not experienced many – if any – of the issues fixed in this latest update, but you might have.
