New Features:
Added a new loot item — the old Soviet toy “Soviet Cosmonaut.” It can be found both in certain raids and across the Zone.
Added a new loot item — “Onion.” It can be sold for a good price or used to restore a small amount of health and satiety. Most importantly, the onion has an almost magical effect: it fully restores psi protection and temporarily raises it above normal limits. Stalkers joke that with such an aroma, even the Zone itself prefers to keep its distance.
Changes & Improvements:
Fixed a rare issue in the quest where you deliver a hard drive to Iskra. If the drive was left at the base and not picked up immediately, it could disappear.
Texture quality is now automatically set to the highest level when launching the game for the first time. Previously, players could experience blurry textures at around 5 meters. The issue was caused by the game setting the lowest texture quality on first launch, requiring players to manually increase it — something not everyone noticed right away.
Minor improvements to the main menu.
Improved physics on the “Ghost Base” level.
Improved physics on the raid level “Military Town.”
Fixed the description of the “STALKER” artifact — psi protection values now display correctly.
Fixed an issue that prevented the proper pickup of the Z.O.N.A Project X DVD disc.
