[h2]New Features:[/h2] [list] [*] Now, when an enemy NPC dies, a backpack drops to mark the spot where you can loot the enemy as before. [*] Bullet impact sounds for metal, wood, dirt, stone, brick, and other surfaces have been changed to better match real-life sound characteristics, making combat more immersive. [/list] [previewyoutube=wMJKb6pQFK4;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]Changes and Improvements:[/h2] [list] [*] Based on your feedback, sounds from outside are now muffled when you enter the shelter at the Free Stalkers’ base. [*] The factions Strike and Bandits are now allied and will no longer attack each other. [*] Fixed an issue where items such as magazines or loot close to the backpack grab area would cause the backpack to shake and hover in the air. [*] Fixed an issue with the backpack: if you grabbed it with your left hand and tried to transfer it to the right hand in the auto-return zone, it would still go to the slot, dragging your hand with it. This issue has now been resolved. [*] New vegetation, including small bushes with flowers, strawberries, small shrubs, and mushrooms, has been added to some locations in the Ultra+ graphics preset. [*] Cabinets and drawers that the player can open have been improved — previously, it was possible to pass through cabinet doors. [*] Improved enemy faction AI. [*] Fixed some script errors that could partially affect gameplay. [*] Improved textures for certain objects. [*] Made adjustments to certain levels. [/list] [h2]Additional Notes:[/h2] [i]Game performance has been improved. Initially, I had to test the game on a 5700X processor and RTX3080 graphics card with a Valve Index headset at 80Hz and 150% upscaling. Now, I can freely test the game at 90Hz and hope to achieve stable FPS at 120Hz. The 5700X processor paired with a 4070Ti Super graphics card and Valve Index now runs smoothly at 90Hz with 190% upscaling.[/i]
