What you need to know
- GSC Game World's new open-world survival shooter STALKER 2 finally launched a few weeks ago and has been met with a positive reception, but it came out with lots of bugs and performance issues.
- The developers have been hard at work addressing these, with their first two post-launch patches to the game implementing over 600 fixes. Now, a third update, Patch 1.0.3, has gone live as well.
- Aside from taking care of multiple crashes, mission glitches, and other problems, Patch 1.0.3 also squashed a rare, but severe bug that was causing saves to get erased after players restarted their Xbox or PC.
- On PC, the update also disables mouse smoothing and acceleration by default, which should generally make aiming smoother and more intuitive for most players.
