The GSC Game World team is still polishing the experience in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and a new update is now available for the PC version. This is patch 1.5.1, focused on resolving important errors related to character behavior, main quests, and overall game stability. While it’s currently only released on PC, it’s expected to arrive on Xbox consoles soon.

Among the issues fixed are NPCs ignoring emissions, bodies flying off after headshots, errors when saving/loading game, and crashes during boss fights. Critical crashes, visual bugs have also been corrected, and patrol behavior and navigation in enclosed areas have been improved. Additionally, the mod SDK has been updated, ensuring compatibility with the latest game changes.
