Hello, stalkers! ☢️
We are fixing the Zone once again and are ready to share what we’ve been working on in the Patch 1.5.1. Chaos hour is over — bloodsuckers are no longer invited to party with stalkers inside hubs (they can’t behave after a few shots at the bar), and NPCs no longer fly away after particularly skillful headshots.
Fixed an issue when some NPCs didn't go to shelter in offline mode during Emission.
Fixed an issue when interacting hints could disappear after save/load.
Fixed issue when NPC could get stuck walking in one place.
Fixed an issue where two bandits at Varan's camp attacked Player without any reason during the King Of The Hill mission.

Fixed an issue when NPC corpses could get misplaced after picking it up for the second time.
Adjusted position of money and weight indicator icon in Player inventory.
Fixed an issue when Faust could freeze during his bossfight after his emitter was destroyed during special attack ability.
Fixed an issue when the context menu was impossible to open twice for the same item in the looting window.
Fixed an issue when an NPC's corpse could fly away after killing them with a headshot.
Fixed 2 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION crashes.
Fixed an issue when the The Assault On The Duga mission could be stuck if the player had slept before talking to Scar.
Fixed an issue when the FOV value automatically resets to 110 on ultra wide monitors.

Fixed an issue when the NPC's left hand could be in an improper position when the NPC holds a pistol.
Fixed an issue when NPCs could stuck in each other during patrolling.
Fixed an issue when the Windows Scale option affected the game in the Fullscreen Borderless and Windowed modes.
