S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl from GSC Game World is one of the most anticipated games of 2024. The whole gaming community absolutely cannot wait to play this open world, post-apocalyptic survival FPS and a new entry in the iconic franchise.

Today, though, the time has come – S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is now available on GOG!

The southeastern border of the Zone is a forsaken land of bogs and vapors, where time itself seems to have halted. Now, the Swamps teem with mutants in a realm of delusion, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs. Rare expeditions venture into this desolate place, and only a few have returned to tell the tale. And they vow never to go back.

You can now also get S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Deluxe Edition and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Ultimate Edition. The Zone is waiting!



But that’s not the end of the good news – with the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, we’re happy to announce new additions to our GOG Preservation Program: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, both available at a -75% discount!

If a game is part of the Preservation Program, it means that we commit our own resources to maintaining its compatibility with modern and future systems. It also means that the GOG version of this game is the best anywhere. For a game to join the GOG Preservation Program, we run it through extensive quality testing and often apply custom improvements to ensure compatibility and quality-of-life improvements.

Explore the Zone – now and then, better than ever!
I had been wondering about A-Life in this game, as it doesn't feel at all like it's working for me.
Here's a PC Gamer article about it.

Apparently, A-Life 2 is in the game, but it's not currently working right, and they are working on fixing that.

And honestly, I'm not even mad. It wouldn't be a STALKER game if it didn't have bugs akimbo.



One more thing:
Make sure your video card drivers are updated.

I had been having severe stuttering with my 13900KF/4080. My drivers were only 2 months old, so I thought I should be good, but nope. Updated my video drivers to current (566.14 in my case), and suddenly the game runs smooth as silk. No stuttering, and no crashing.

The company can dig up Andrei Tarkovsky and claim his corpse as belonging to the company too.

It normally takes 20 years for them to get these games released so they might have to.
I guess UE5 won't do this game good as being a stutter engine as i just heard.
Also didn't notice but don't think they have bullet bounce in this stalker game like they had in previous ones.
Gonna keep an eye on the game, maximum i could play is on medium i think with my setting.
The change one week before release in system requirements was kinda unfortunate.
I just hope they learn to optimize the game.
I contacted Steam technical support, since this game contains extremism and nazism. The developers decided that all this shit in real life was not enough for them, and decided to promote an anti-Russian agenda in the game...

I'll be waiting for the new "Metro", because I know that for the devs from 4A Games, it is much more important to tell a deep heartfelt story than to pit players against each other on a national basis.

I also know that the devs from 4A Games will never remove the Russian language from their games in order to "take revenge" on Russian gamers. This was a very foolish and thoughtless move on the part of GSC, considering that the main audience of "Stalker" is gamers from Russia and the CIS countries.

So all that the company GSC has achieved is shooting itself in the foot, losing at least 50% of the revenue it could have earned... Level 99 businessmen! :)
