Stalker 2 Patch 1.0.2 has officially gone live, primarily addressing mission fixes like the progression-blocking On the Edge bug.
Since launch, Stalker 2 players have been battling more than in-game enemies while exploring the Zone. Numerous bugs continue to plague the otherwise well-reviewed survival experience, despite the November 29 release of Patch 1.0.1 on PC and Xbox.
Even after the update went live, users still encountered errors blocking mission progression. Stalker 2’s “On the Edge” bug counted among the most frustrating since it wouldn’t spawn all of the expected Monolith enemies, thus preventing players from completing certain objectives.
Fortunately, developer GSC Game World has fixed this glitch and a few others, with Patch 1.0.2 now allowing users to finish previously glitched quests such as “Just Like the Good Old Days” and “Visions of Truth.”
