Stalker 2

Has this update done anything to in creased the difficulty levels of the game. It could do with that, same problem with Cyberpunk 2077. It is all about the eyecandy now not the gameplay. To many blank cheques from Gpu manufacturers to help with development costs.

Stalker isn't about the eye candy, even the videos from 3yrs ago look better than the final release
 
“Humans are no longer able to snipe with shotguns.”

About time for this fix!
Aye indeed! However they have nerfed certain guns like the ZUBR-19, and have switched penetration for "Handling" now. useless stat in my opinion. So not really pleased and still have a side mission that wont complete on the PDA.

Those vid`s were about the hype machine getting up to speed. But the Unreal engine makes a difference compared to the old games, Graphics and sound are a good upgrade but for some reason i just can`t get that same feel / atmosphere with this stalker 2 also needs a lot more patching, it will be a long time before they get this sorted even with monthly update patches.
 
I think that the new patch has added tiredness as after 110 hours of play this is the first time I’ve seen the moon icon without one of those cats nearby.

What do you mean by "increased difficulty"? It was already too difficult with the original economy in place - making the entire Zone unsustainabl if it were "real".

After some more playing, AI seems a little better, they now cover and flank more as well as run out of grenades which is a plus.

Had one crash today also, first in a while.

A Life updates bringing it to where it should have been at launch but no performance improvements it seems as UE5 has been left untouched, so no ray reconstruction, no HWRT, no CPU optimisations. Will leave uninstalled until one day, maybe, these will feature.....
 
Is the game still that bad? bugs wise?

Dunno, haven't touched it in ages, still waiting for hw ray tracing to be implemented as the Devs promised.

Might be in for a long wait at this rate.
