I suppose in an ideal world, games would launch and then never need updates at all, but I won’t pretend I’m not just a little happy to live in a world where the original Stalker games are getting patches again.<\/p>\n

To rectify a few more issues with the remasters of Shadow of Chornobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Prypiat, GSC has just released a 1.3 patch for the entire remastered trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After two months in the oven, 1.3 brings all the stuff you expect: bug fixes, tweaks, curtailed crashes, but most importantly\u2014Shadow of Chornobyl and Clear Sky now both have quick slots, just like Call of Prypiat. This is an incredible day. It’s morning in the Zone.<\/p>\n

If it’s been a while since you fired up CoP, those are the slots\u2014bound to F1, F2, F3, and F4\u2014that let you quickly use items in your inventory without having to pull up the whole equipment screen and laboriously sift through everything you’re carrying. By default, they’re set to use stuff like medkits, bandages, food, but you can drag whatever you like in there.<\/p>\n

It’s a small quality-of-life feature, but its absence made SoC and CS just that little harder to go back to in the modern era, and having it across the trilogy is an unalloyed good. That aside, GSC also gave top billing to a “Major overhaul to make fonts more familiar to veteran stalkers,” as well as “increased font size for better readability on Steam Deck.”<\/p>\n

And then, well, a bunch of crash fixes and the like, which I’ll list below. Something interesting, though, is that GSC went and used a bunch of fixes from the Stalker community for this one, and says that “Their contributions are acknowledged in the updated credits.”<\/p>\n

These are almost entirely script and config fixes, but if you ever notice that your PDA headers no longer have incorrect colours, you can thank the power of volunteer action.<\/p>\n
