Caption: Stalker 2 gets its first major patch, featuring A-Life system fixes. According to Eurogamer, GSC Game World has rolled out the first major patch for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, resolving over 1,800 issues and introducing significant fixes to the game's A-Life system. Additionally, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl has already recouped its development costs and turned a profit, as confirmed by studio owner Maxim Krippa in an interview with Forbes. The developer calls Patch 1.1 "huge," featuring A-Life fixes, AI improvements, balance tweaks, crash fixes, performance upgrades, and story mission fixes. A-Life, the system ensuring NPCs behave naturally, is described in the studio's FAQ: "The A-Life 2.0 system ensures the Zone lives its own life, independent of your actions.” Players criticized the system for feeling too scripted and lacking authenticity. Several fixes have now been implemented to address these issues, increases the frequency of NPC encounters, improves NPC navigation, enhances their motivation to expand territory and actively attack, along with other changes. Additional small AI improvements have been made to both NPCs and enemies. Creative director Maria Grygorovych acknowledged the game's launch issues, stating, "It's not perfect, we need to fix everything, it has some problems."
