I still think it's criminal how bandits get lazer aim through bushes or in general. A big painpoint for me is how you see npcs sprinting and as soon as they stop they've got a beam on you

[Terrince_Tate]

I'll wait for more A-Life fixes and additions. Hope they keep up the good work. Still much needed support.

For the first time in my 12 hours I finally saw a poltergeist, it was attacking a group of IPSF soldiers at a checkpoint from above, this game just a few minutes after fighting 2 bloodsuckers in the dark. I was attacked by two of the soldiers and I had to retreat, but just behind my was a squad of ecologists (god rest their souls) it allowed me to heal and get away. I hope they survived

The game changed a lot with this patch. More difficult when roaming. It takes a while to get used to it. Also, performance is hit due to the fact that NPCs are spawning more frequently around you.

We need Binos, night vision and a better Friend or Foe detection system. Like the old one was perfect, scope them out and a little red box appears around enemies and all the Stalkers PDA location like games of old.

It was 12gbs for xbox series s
E: and another 8, 46gb update today (20.12) maybe that's why the 1st one was smaller than with others...

Thanks for being the bearer of glad tidings.
I was stuck on those self spawning dog-like things in the arena and so fed up with it. After seeing this I tried again and beat the little hell hounds! I could track the original spawning dog and managed to blow a red canister next to it (blowing half my own face off in the process!) and get out of there, still bleeding to death, but alive!
Thankfully, it’s worth noting that your bleeding pauses while the arena guy talks to you, so no need to skip or panic and miss out on the dialogue if you don’t want to.
Thanks again.

I know what you mean about using a sniper now…I always use long range weapons and always max out gear and side quests before doing any main quests if possible so I’m 2 real life days into the game with a maxed out ClusterF*ck, SVU MK S-3, and APSB all with silencers, extended mags, and the strongest scopes available and did my best to stealth from a distance even when they automatically saw you crouching at range before the patch. Loving it so far since I can actually play how I want. Just hitting the main quests where they have you meet factions and pick sides and it’s way more fun! Oh and also my diamond armor is working out great! I snuck into the later zones early to grab a bunch of stuff lol.

I'm far too deep in Night City right now to go back to Stalker. But as soon as I'm done I'm definitely coming back, so great to see the Alife fixes.

One thing sucks about this game is which side you choose in mid game, it really effects your fast travel alot.

[pulvurcm]

A life is still fked... the enemies don't miss.. sniping me with shotguns.

[JustDdude]

Still downloading it while watching haha
Amazing work was done tho. So happy for devs tbh.

[HUKIT.]

Post patch today I had enemies spawn inside a small building during an emission. That never happened previously.

[GunterThePenguinHatesHugs]

Amazing job GSC has done - now all we need is render distance made alittle further out to help with tree pop-in, and finally MODS! 🙏

[aaronmcadam]

The fact this game had 1, 800 issues and they still released it is insane

[aanteater]

Idk what they did but it went from steady with glitches for me to unplayable today

[darkcyberdyne]

I will say that I wasn't much of a fan of FPS games well i am in love with this game and over 180 hours into it. I like what i am seeing with what they are changing but it's obviously not at it's full potential yet. Exited for future updates 💯

[bulletnctar]

I love when Bubbs PDA is permanently in my inventory. Hope they didn't fix that.

[Parsifal]

17:30 this happened to me a lot, but one of the times a got a Gauss Rifle, so i wouldn't complain xD
