Patch 1.08.04

New Features:

  • Added a new loot item — the old Soviet toy “Soviet Cosmonaut.” It can be found both in certain raids and across the Zone.

  • Added a new loot item — “Onion.” It can be sold for a good price or used to restore a small amount of health and satiety. Most importantly, the onion has an almost magical effect: it fully restores psi protection and temporarily raises it above normal limits. Stalkers joke that with such an aroma, even the Zone itself prefers to keep its distance.

Changes & Improvements:

  • Fixed a rare issue in the quest where you deliver a hard drive to Iskra. If the drive was left at the base and not picked up immediately, it could disappear.

  • Texture quality is now automatically set to the highest level when launching the game for the first time. Previously, players could experience blurry textures at around 5 meters. The issue was caused by the game setting the lowest texture quality on first launch, requiring players to manually increase it — something not everyone noticed right away.

  • Minor improvements to the main menu.

  • Improved physics on the “Ghost Base” level.

  • Improved physics on the raid level “Military Town.”

  • Fixed the description of the “STALKER” artifact — psi protection values now display correctly.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented the proper pickup of the Z.O.N.A Project X DVD disc.
