Attention, stalkers!
The first patch of the year 2025 is ready. We addressed the most critical issues, based on your feedback on Steam and other platforms. Please, continue to share your thoughts, as it helps us make the Zone an even better place.
To cut the story short, here is the list:
Fixed crashes and freeze on shaders compilation
Fixed memory leak occurred at Rostok location
Fixed performance degradation when shooting/aiming on saves with long playtime
Implemented fixes, that should solve the problem causing saves to be lost on Xbox
Fixed a random crash related to UI animations.
A fight with the Shader Compilation was among the hardest for all of us in recent days. Please, if your particular shader compilation issue is still present — let us know via our Tech Support Hub. This is also the best place to report other bugs and “anomalies” that are not supposed to be in the Zone.

Thanks a lot for staying with us and with the Zone. We continue working on the future update, and monitor your comments and feedback.
