With any luck, a big ol&#8217; engine update will see a marked decrease in those complaints. &#8220;This will bring new features and tools to make the Zone an even better place,&#8221; says GSC, &#8220;but more importantly\u2014bringing the latest Unreal Engine 5 optimizations will lead to better stability and performance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fans are pretty stoked about this one. &#8220;This is crazy, if they manage to pull it off it will be huge,&#8221; remarks <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/stalker\/comments\/1mocodz\/comment\/n8b5vka\/\" target=\"_blank\">FishySardines99<\/a> (a trusted name if ever I heard one) on Reddit. &#8220;That is so unexpected,&#8221; concurs <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/stalker\/comments\/1mocodz\/comment\/n8b7bdj\/\" target=\"_blank\">TramplexReal<\/a>. &#8220;As a game dev myself, engine updates are always so painful in any project.
