After fans cratered the Stalker trilogy's Steam reviews to 'Mostly negative' in the hours immediately following launch, GSC Game World has released patch 1.0.1 for its "fully remastered and optimised" trio of original Stalker games. This one promises fixes for crashes across multiple platforms, issues with the games remembering what the hell your settings are and, crucially, "Fixed issues with missing geometry on several levels."
Which might not sound like the kind of thing to start hooting and hollering about, but what matters is which geometry has been restored. When the Stalker remasters hit last Tuesday, fans had complaints. They complained about blurry graphics (which, I have to note once more, I can't say I noticed in 20+ hours of Shadow of Chornobyl), issues with settings, and—most vocally—the games' removed Russian audio setting and deleted Soviet landmarks.
