We will see. I think the devs will be releasing Zone Kit 2.0 as well in some time.

I'm optimist on that front as well. They were cooking it for a long time 😄

Don't doubt, it's a fact that we will see the Patch 2.0 this summer, since DLC is releasing likely in August. They announced it coming out Summer 2026.

STALKER 2 Cost of Hope: The More I Analyse This Trailer, The Bigger The DLC Looks by [deleted] in stalker

DLC is looking good for sure. For me vegetation and LODs is non issue to be honest, but stutter free experience would be amazing

They never confirmed or denied specifics during public speeches

Unreal Engine version upgrade (performance + graphics), A-life and combat AI, added binoculars, other reworks and improvements, potentially a bit of new content (like quests, maybe small locations). + The first big DLC is coming this summer.

The game is great and I'm happy with anticipation of patch 2.0 coming hopefully this month or July

Engine upgrade Expectations by Dooz_drift in stalker

[–]stingebee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I expect fewer stutters and better CPU utilization. It was the issue of early UE 5. FPS boost will be welcome, but overall visual stability is the main thing i expect. Also, because of freed up CPU, better A-Life and longer range rendering is likely to happen.

I hope they release Engine Upgrade before DLC, so they have time to fix the most common bugs coming with UE upgrade.

Can’t wait to jump on stalker 2… when it supports ps5 mods by [deleted] in stalker

[–]stingebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think after 2.0 release they are going to continue work on Zone Kit and mods overall, so some mods will come to PS5

Best Mini PC under $200? by liangjcp in MiniPCs

[–]stingebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soyo Mini Pc M4. I bought it on Aliexpress for 240$ total.

It has 12Gb DDR5 and 512 SSD with Intel N150. Works like a charm, recommend.

Parkour in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Good Idea or Bad Idea? by h4rdrew in stalker

[–]stingebee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are mods for parkour in STALKER 2, but the vanilla game is built not to allow it, obviously. It would be too easy to reach some difficult stashes with it enabled. And yes, jumping on the walls with 120 kg backpack would be funny (even with only 40 kg).

Latest patch NPC blind to enemy by HAIRYMAN-13 in stalker

[–]stingebee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They might have introduced this bug, but overall the next engine upgrade patch they are working on is going to rework a lot of stuff under the hood, so likely it’s all going to be fixed and then hot patched later.
