What officially changed
6 is ready. This one is a minor crash fix patch that will help stalkers that experience annoying crashing anomalies too often, especially in the AMD region. Stay tuned for more as we will continue to work on improving your experience in future updates. R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl began today on Steam — until September 30, you can purchase the Deluxe or Ultimate editions at a 30% discount. ⚠️ WARNING The Zone is ever-changing, and a new update 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 a new update, we recommend you to disable your mods. com/hc for additional troubleshooting steps and assistance. Please, if you face an unexpected “anomaly” that is not supposed to be in the game, report it to our Technical Support Center. Our colleagues will take a closer look at it to annihilate and destroy the danger to the Zone.
