Weather conditions have been improved on the locations "Pripyat," "Abandoned Village," and "Freedom Stalkers Base": the sky and effects have been reworked. These locations now look even more captivating and mysterious, especially "Pripyat."
Monster AI has been refined. I know many of you have complained about their behavior, and I hear you. I am working on improvements as much as possible alone. Their movement across surfaces now looks more natural, positively affecting the game experience. In the animation below, you can see one of the changes: on the left is AI version 0.30, and on the right is AI version 0.40. And this is just the beginning.
When starting a new game, you now receive an AKS-74U instead of an AK-74.
Performance has been improved on the location "Freedom Stalkers Base." Lighting has also been slightly reworked, making the level less dark.
Performance on the nighttime location "Abandoned Village" has been improved.
Random encounters have been added to the locations "Pripyat," "Underground Collector," and "Landfill." The likelihood of encounters depends on your story progress.
New atmospheric objects have been added to some locations.
Minor improvements to the save system have been made.
Optimization and refinement of certain scripts have been carried out.
