GSC Game World’s Stalker: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition released as a critical disaster due to censored assets, the removal of the games’ Russian dubs and the introduction of brand-new bugs that weren’t in the original game.

After the release of the new remastered trilogy, GSC announced plans to bring the outsourced remasters back up to snuff with post-launch updates, bug fixes and more. Now, just weeks after release, the team has released Patch 1.1 which aims to massively reduce stability issues on “all plaforms”.

The main focus of this patch is fixing crashes and savefiles issues across all titles.

  • Fixed save-loading issue for the Asian region localizations.
  • Stability improvements – fixed multiple crashes on all platforms.
  • Fixed issue that caused the game to crash while looking up at the rainy sky.
  • Fixed issue that caused the title to crash while eating or using items from the corpse’s inventory.
  • Corrected misspelling and naming issues in several localizations in all titles.
  • Fixed sound scattering issues that caused incorrect indoor-outdoor transition.
  • Fixed misleading description for Crouching options for Ukrainian localization.
  • Fixed several incorrect icons in dialogue logs.
  • Fixed indistinctive pop-up with information about unsupported hardware.

Shadow of Chornobyl:

  • Fixed noticeable transition in shadow casting.
  • Fixed performance drop issue on Ahroprom.

Some mods may not work with the updated version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy — Enhanced Edition.
