STALKER 2 Update on July 24

GSC Game World has a new patch out for STALKER 2 on PC and Xbox Series X|S today, and this is s tricky one. While it does apply fixes, it also messes up mod compatibility as well.

Players will see this appear as patch version 1.5.2 for the action game, and this houses a short list of fixes, but the more important part here is, it will most likely affect game perfiormance for those who have mods installed.

STALKER 2 Update on July 24 Comes With a Warning for Mod Users

Today’s fixes include the following:

  • Fixed an issue when a door to the Shevchenko hub was closed.
  • Fixed two crashes that could occur randomly during gameplay.

The patch also comes with a warning from the devs, who state, “The Zone is ever-changing and a new Patch can shift Her structure. If you’ve chosen to walk the path with modifications, know this: they may not withstand the latest shifts. If you have performance or stability issues following the release of Patch 1.5.2, we recommend you to disable your mods.”

It’s such a big deal that the developers even had to publish a separate piece about it, which we recommend you read.

In other news about the game, the PS5 version has been announced and is scheduled for release before the end of the year.
